Description
Elena Merlo-González and co-authors review studies of mindfulness training for people out of work, in work from 2026. Job loss is tied to worse body and mind health and a lower quality of life. The team asks whether mindfulness lifts life quality or a sense that life hangs together in this group.
Five data stores were searched, and fourteen studies were kept. Direct proof in jobless groups was thin and mixed, and most studies gauged distress rather than life quality. Proof on the coherence sense came mostly from other groups. Training length, content, and format varied a lot, and digital tools were common. The authors say firm claims must wait for studies built for this group, with clear plans and follow-up.
