Brief Summary:
PTSD is a common consequence of war for soldiers and civilians PTSD results in hyperarousal avoidance numbing and re-experiencing causing persistent decreased quality of life Mindfulness involves the ability to bring attention to the present moment without judgment this ability is correlated with measures of mental health Within health care mindfulness is taught as an 8-week course called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction MBSR MBSR is unstudied for PTSD We propose to assess the feasibility of MBSR as an intervention for PTSD since it may affect hypervigilance avoidance and reactivity associated with this disorder
Specific Aims Aim 1 Assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining a sample of veterans with PTSD to complete a study protocol that involves randomization to usual care or usual care plus MBSR Aim 2 Apply measures of PTSD symptom severity depression and quality of life before and after randomization to assess whether there is evidence of benefit and whether MBSR warrants further study for PTSD and allow calculation of standardized effect sizes Aim 3 Apply a validated measure of mindfulness before and after treatment Aim 4 Explore the relationship between PTSD symptoms mindfulness score and frequency of meditation practice
