A Preliminary Study on the Feasibility and Effects of a Mindfulness Intervention for Emotional Distress (MIED)-Based Group Intervention for Adolescents (Online Format)

5. listopadu 2026 aktualizováno: Xinghua Liu

Background: Emotional distress (anxiety and depressive symptoms) among adolescents is rising globally. In China, the detection rate of depression risk among secondary school students is 24.6%, and that of anxiety risk is 18.1%; comorbidity, relapse and disability rates are all high, seriously affecting adolescents' academic performance, social relationships and quality of life. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown substantial effects in children and adolescents, with meta-analyses reporting a moderate effect size for internalizing problems (Hedges' g = 0.47). Group-based mindfulness interventions for adolescents are feasible: the group format improves efficiency, reduces costs and provides social support. However, existing research remains limited in cultural adaptation and in the systematicity of intervention protocols. The MIED (Mindfulness Intervention for Emotional Distress) system, developed by Professor Liu Xinghua on the basis of MBSR and the Unified Protocol (UP), centres on the "diamond model" of emotional distress, which identifies four core maintaining mechanisms: engagement in life, tolerance of distress, emotional behaviours, and cognitive flexibility. Adult studies of MIED show significant improvement in emotional distress, yet no dedicated study has applied it to adolescents.

Methods: This is an exploratory feasibility study using a single-group pre-post design. It plans to recruit 26 adolescents aged 12-18 years with emotional distress for an 8-week online MIED group intervention for adolescents (two online groups, 12-13 participants per group, with an expected effective sample of 20-24). Data will be collected at multiple time points: baseline, after the 4th session, after the 8th session, and at 1-month follow-up.

Objectives: The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the MIED-based adolescent mindfulness group intervention (recruitment feasibility, retention feasibility, implementation feasibility, acceptability, and safety). The secondary objective is to preliminarily evaluate the intervention's effects on anxiety, depression, stress and other outcomes, and to estimate effect sizes, thereby providing methodological preparation for a subsequent large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Intervence / Léčba
Experimentální: Adolescent Group(online)

Adolescent Group Curriculum:8-week online group curriculum adapted from the adult MIED course for adolescents' cognitive development, social needs and preferences. 8 weekly sessions, 90-120 min each, via video conferencing; 2-3 groups of 9-13 participants (27-30 recruited, expected effective sample 20-24). Based on the MIED diamond model: engagement in life, tolerance of distress, emotional behaviours, cognitive flexibility. Interactive design and AI-assisted tools boost participation and practice adherence; modules refined per prior evidence.

Parent Group Curriculum:Based on the parent group approach in the Chinese UP-A (Pan et al., 2025). Aims: improve parents' understanding of adolescent emotional distress; teach strategies supporting adolescents' mindfulness practice and emotion regulation; improve parent-child communication; support parents' own MIED practice and stress management. 4 sessions, every 2 weeks, 120 min each, online, parallel with the adolescent group.

Adolescent Group: Basic curriculum structure: 8 sessions, once per week, 90-120 minutes per session, 12-20 participants per group. Parent Group Curriculum:Number of sessions: 4 (or 8, synchronized with the adolescent group), once every 2 weeks (or once per week), 120 minutes per session.

The OASIS is a 5-item self-report measure designed to assess the frequency and severity of anxiety symptoms, as well as the extent of anxiety-related functional impairment and avoidance, over the past week. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4, with total scores ranging from 0 to 20. Higher scores indicate greater overall anxiety severity and impairment. The OASIS has demonstrated good reliability and validity in both clinical and nonclinical samples (Norman et al., 2006).
