Interventions

  • Mindfulness in Motion — BEHAVIORAL
    Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is an 8-week evidence-based program designed as an intervention to help participants learn practical burnout/stress reduction and resiliency building techniques. Delivered in a virtual, synchronous group format one hour per week, MIM includes didactic instruction, community-building group discussion, mindfulness, and gentle yoga. Each session focuses on a specific theme with topics that include Willingness to Daily Practice, Cultivating Mindful Sleep, Vision of Self, Supported by the Breath, Mindful Eating and Yoga, Movement Through Balance, Awareness of Sensation, Clarity and Release, and Staying Grounded \& Moving Forward. Participants are highly encouraged to engage in 10-20 minutes of individual self-practice at least five times per week. A companion MIM smartphone app offers daily mindfulness, movement, and reflective practices.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding the Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) program to the usual primary care for people with high blood pressure. MIM is a facilitated, 8-week online program that teaches simple ways to manage stress using mindfulness practices. The program also includes the use of a companion smartphone app throughout the 12-month study period. In this study, we will compare people who receive their usual care and take part in the MIM program with those who receive usual care alone to see if it helps improve blood pressure, weight, stress, sleep, and overall well-being. Over 12 months, all participants will be asked to complete short questionnaires about stress, sleep, and resilience four times via a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
