A Literature Review of the Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in Adults with Chronic Pain
Posted: January 11th, 2023
While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their research to the problem or issue they have identified for their capstone project change proposal, the literature review enables students to map out and move into the active planning and development stages of the project.
A literature review analyzes how current research supports the PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT Question Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop a review (750-1,000 words) that includes the following sections:
Title page
Introduction section
A comparison of research questions
A comparison of sample populations
A comparison of the limitations of the study
A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further research

Title page: “A Literature Review of the Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in Adults with Chronic Pain”
Introduction section: The prevalence of chronic pain in adults has become a major public health concern and traditional treatment methods have proven to be ineffective for many individuals. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has emerged as a promising alternative treatment for managing chronic pain. MBSR is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that incorporates mindfulness meditation and yoga to help individuals increase their awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. This literature review aims to examine the current research on the effectiveness of MBSR in adults with chronic pain.
A comparison of research questions: The studies included in this literature review all examine the effectiveness of MBSR in adults with chronic pain. However, some studies focus specifically on individuals with back pain, while others include a wider range of chronic pain conditions. Additionally, some studies examine the impact of MBSR on specific outcomes such as pain intensity, while others investigate the broader effects of MBSR on mental health and quality of life.
