Brief mindfulness-oriented interventions (MOIs) to improve psychiatric symptoms in a psychiatric inpatient unit: a randomized controlled feasibility trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Mindfulness-based interventions are effective in treating numerous psychiatric symptoms, but data about brief mindfulness-oriented intervention (MOI) use with psychiatric inpatients are limited. We investigated whether a brief MOI was feasible and effective in reducing psychosis and other symptoms in a psychiatric inpatient unit.Methods In an assessor-blinded feasibility randomized-controlled trial, adult psychiatric inpatients were randomized to the intervention or control group. Feasibility outcomes included enrollment rate, retention rate and intervention-completion rate. The quantitative outcome was the impact on symptom reduction (mean and % difference in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) between baseline and 7-day follow-up scores). Exploratory outcomes included improvement in quality of sleep, mindfulness and quality of life. Qualitative intervention feedback was obtained from therapists and participants.Results Feasibility outcomes were 39.2% participant enrollment, 85% study completion and 81.8% intervention completion. No symptom outcomes significantly differed. There were no significant differences in exploratory outcomes. Interventionists reported system-level barriers in treatment delivery; patients subjectively reported enjoying the intervention.Conclusion The MOI is feasible in the inpatient psychiatric setting. There were no significant effects on psychiatric symptoms during the follow-up period, but no adverse effects were reported. Therapeutic effects could be further investigated in longer-term interventions and larger confirmatory RCTs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
