Longitudinal Impact of Mindfulness Meditation on Illness Burden in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients

Abstract

Mindfulness-based stress reduction is an effective treatment in improving the quality and duration of sleep. Because sleep is highly correlated with positive mental health and overall well-being, these findings suggest that mindfulness-based stress reduction has the potential of being an effective, accessible and low-cost intervention that could significantly change transplant recipients' overall health and well-being.
