A multiple methods pilot study of the Mindfulness and Self‐Compassion for Children and Caregivers course
Pragmatic Approaches to Team-Based Qualitative Analysis of Study Participants' Exit Interview Data in a Pragmatic Clinical Trial
The OPTIMUM trial is a multisite pragmatic randomized clinical trial of an adapted Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for people with chronic low back pain in primary care settings provided via telehealth group medical visits. Researchers conducted fifty-nine exit interviews at the end of the intervention to inform the ongoing conduct of the trial and to better understand patients' experiences. This manuscript describes a pragmatic…
Feasibility, acceptability, and depression outcomes of a randomized controlled trial of Mindful Self‐Compassion for Teens (MSC‐T) for adolescents with subsyndromal depression
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents are experiencing high rates of depressive symptoms, with negative consequences to their long-term health. Group-based, mindful self-compassion programs show promise in mitigating the development of more significant depression in at-risk adolescents. However, the lack of well-designed, active control conditions has limited the ability to examine the efficacy of such interventions. METHODS: = 15.81, 70% female) with subsyn…

The empirically-based self-compassion program, Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (formerly Making Friends w…
Maternal and Paternal Attachment Style and Chaos as Risk Factors for Parenting Behavior
Objective and Background Household chaos and insecure parental attachment styles are associated with lower quality parenting behaviors. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding fathers' parenting behaviors, and no studies examine whether chaotic home environments moderate the attachment style–parenting behavior relationship. Method Using data from both mothers and fathers of 742 children (40.5% African American) living in rural, low‐reso…
Parent Self‐Compassion and Supportive Responses to Child Difficult Emotion
Self-compassion is an adaptive way of self-relating that entails tending to one's emotional pain with understanding and care. In this paper, we propose an intergenerational model explaining how self-compassion develops within the context of the parent-child relationship. Specifically, we posit that parents who have had supportive experiences with their own childhood caregivers develop a secure attachment and a high level of self-compassion. In tu…
Young adult cancer survivors’ experiences with a mindful self-compassion (MSC) video-chat intervention
Young adult cancer survivors (YACS) are a vulnerable population that reports high anxiety, social isolation, and feelings of inadequacy after cancer treatment completion. Mindful self-compassion (MSC) provides strategies for coping with suffering. We explored how MSC practices addressed the psychosocial needs of a nationally recruited YACS sample (N=20, all female, age M=27.00, various cancer types) that participated in an 8-week MSC video-chat i…
