Key result
Mindfulness-based stress reduction improves emotion regulation scores by ~29% vs no intervention in cardiovascular patients.
Why the study?
Stress is a major factor affecting cardiovascular diseases, and MBSR has emerged as an innovative approach to improve psychological outcomes, but its effects on emotion regulation, pain self-efficacy, and pain perception needed investigation.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for improving emotion regulation and pain management in patients with cardiovascular disease.
MBSR may enhance emotion regulation in CVD patients; extends RCT evidence for non-pharmacological support in cardiac care.
Objective: Stress is recognized as one of the main factors affecting cardiovascular diseases. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has gained attention as an innovative approach to improving the psychological state of patients. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of MBSR on emotion regulation, pain self-efficacy, and pain perception in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Methods and Materials: This experimental study was designed with a control group and an experimental group. Sixty patients with cardiovascular diseases were randomly divided into two equal groups. The experimental group underwent the MBSR program for 8 weeks, while the control group received no intervention. The instruments used included the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), and the Pain Perception Questionnaire (PPQ). Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Findings: The results indicated that MBSR significantly improved emotion regulation and increased pain self-efficacy in the experimental group compared to the control group (p< 0.05). Additionally, pain perception in the experimental group significantly decreased (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that MBSR can be used as an effective method in reducing stress and improving emotion regulation, pain self-efficacy, and pain perception in patients with cardiovascular diseases. It is recommended that this method be included as part of the therapeutic and rehabilitation programs for these patients.

Pourrostam et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Cardiovascular diseases (n=30). Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) vs. No intervention was evaluated on Emotion Regulation (ERQ score at 8 weeks) (p=0.001). Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction significantly improved emotion regulation scores (32.13 vs 24.95, p=0.001) in patients with cardiovascular diseases compared to no intervention.
