Study demonstrated significantly decreased hyperactivity, physical aggression, and increased prosocial behavior 10 months after the Mind-Body Skills Groups compared to the control group.

Study demonstrated 86% reduction in adult participants who qualified as having PTSD and significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and quality of life. All improvements were fully maintained at 10 month follow-up.

This pilot study demonstrated a significant improvement in PTSD scores in rural high school students who participated in mind-body skills groups led by teachers.

A study of health professionals 3 months after the training showed a significant decrease in burnout, and an increase in the following health promoting lifestyles/behaviors: nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and health responsibility. Stress management and friendliness were significantly improved after the training, with gains maintained at 3 month follow-up. Qualitative results at follow-up showed that participants were using the tools both personally and professionally, that they placed a higher priority on self-care, and that they had more balance in their lives.

Study demonstrates that immediately following the training participants experienced reduction in Anger-Hostility and Tension-Anxiety as measured by the Profile of Mood States. Six months after the training, there was a significant increase in the use and/or recommendation of complementary and alternative medicine modalities in clinical practice. Participants also reported positive change in their patient care and in their clinical practices.

Study demonstrated significant increases in well-being, personal use of mind-body skills, and use of all modalities with clients.

This paper describes the development of a required Integrative Psychiatry Curriculum (IPC) for all residents and fellows at the University of Arizona that began in 2015. The IPC includes Introduction to Integrative Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine, Physician Well-Being, Motivational Interviewing, Neural and Mental Health, Complementary Medicine, Dietary Supplements, Nutrition, and Special Topics. The Mind-Body Medicine component involves 10 weeks of Mind-Body Skills Groups (MGSGs). Responses to the MBSGs were very positive across all years of the IPC. Participants noted that they adopted the mind–body techniques for their own selfcare and utilized the techniques in their patient encounters.

Study demonstrated that medical school faculty acting as facilitators of Mind-Body Skills Groups experienced decreased stress and increased mindfulness. Facilitators also reported better self-confidence, communication, connection with community, empathy, active listening, and self-care.

In a qualitative study, Dutch medical students and Swedish nursing students reported the “ability to be more present,” “increased perception and awareness of self,” and “connection on a deeper level with others” after participating in a Mind-Body Medicine Skills course.

Twelve-month outcomes from a controlled study with Dutch medical students and Swedish nursing students showed the following: medical students had significantly increased empathic concern and fantasy and decreased personal distress; nursing students had significantly decreased levels of perceived stress and personal distress.
