BACKGROUND: @entity308 are common in @entity1 suffering from early @entity716 . Growing evidence shows that mindfulness-based intervention is an effective option in handling @entity308 and @entity148 . Current article aims to provide documentation on the development and pilot study, before a RCT of larger scale, evaluating the acceptability and potential effects of a 7-week mindfulness-based intervention programme (MBI-p). METHOD: MBI-p was developed over nine months in 2014. A total of 14 @entity1 with early @entity716 were recruited to three pilot trials of MBI-p. Eleven of them completed the programme and were interviewed. Eight of them were measured quantitatively at baseline and post-intervention on clinical symptoms, @entity308 and @entity148 levels, quality of life and mindfulness. RESULTS: Mixed qualitative and quantitative results supported MBI-p as an acceptable and feasible intervention. Significant statistical improvements were found in @entity308 levels, mental quality of life, general psychopathology and ability to observe emotions and act with awareness. Qualitative comments suggested that the intervention was safe, enjoyable and had a positive impact on mood symptoms. In summary, these results provide a promising pilot support for a potentially effective and cost-efficient treatment option for @entity1 with early @entity716 .

A low-intensity mindfulness-based intervention targeting @entity308 and @entity148 among @entity1 with early @entity716 was developed and pilot tested. It is feasible and acceptable to use mindfulness-based intervention as a complementary treatment for @entity716 .
