Cognitive and Somatic Mediators of the Effects of Trait Mindfulness on Mental Health Adjustment Following Bereavement

ConclusionsTrait mindfulness may be a key protective factor for young adults who experience highly stressful events. Findings underscore the importance of sleep disturbance as a critical factor linking trait mindfulness and mental health adjustment consequent to bereavement. This study contributes to our understanding of risk and resilience factors following loss, which can also inform targeted mindfulness-based interventions as well as future studies to eventually establish causal pathways between trait mindfulness and mental health consequent to bereavement.PreregistrationThis study was not preregistered.
