Abstract

We conducted a systematic review of the effects of mindfulness training on depression in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Four databases were used to search for literature published through April 2023. The selection criteria were as follows: (1) participants were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, (2) mindfulness-based interventions were used, (3) assessment of depression was conducted using standardized scales, (4) the study was a randomized controlled trial, and (5) the article was written in English or Japanese. Six studies were identified. The interventions were group- based and lasted 8 weeks to 9 months, and the rating scales were GDS-15, GDS-M, and GDS-30. Depression improved significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group in one study, and depression improved before and after the intervention in four studies, indicating a degree of intervention effectiveness. Mindfulness training may help prevent the onset of dementia.
