Summary

This trial tests whether an 8-day mindfulness body scan can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in adults who survived tidal flooding in Sayung, Demak, Indonesia. Participants will practice guided body scan meditation and have their blood tested for inflammation markers before and after. The study also checks sleep quality and resilience. If the practice helps, it could offer a simple way to support mental health after disasters.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness body scan, a guided 8-day behavioral practice focusing attention on different body regions to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to ease stress, anxiety, and depression in people who have survived natural disasters, and possibly reduce related inflammation.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and short, with only 70 participants and an 8-day intervention. Results may not apply to other groups, and the effect on inflammation markers is uncertain.
