Research on the adverse effects of mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) has been sparse and hindered by methodological imprecision. The 44-item Meditation Experiences Interview (MedEx-I) was used by an independent assessor to measure meditation-related side effects (MRSEs) following three variants of an 8-week program of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (n = 96). Each item was queried for occurrence, causal link to mindfulness meditation practice, duration, valence, and impact on functioning. Eighty-three percent of the MBP sample reported at least one MRSE. Meditation-related adverse effects with negative valences or negative impacts on functioning occurred in 58% and 37% of the sample, respectively. Lasting bad effects occurred in 6% to 14% of the sample and were associated with signs of dysregulated arousal (hyperarousal and dissociation). Meditation practice in MBPs is associated with transient distress and negative impacts at similar rates to other psychological treatments.

对基于正念的计划 (MBP) 的不利影响的研究很少，并且受到方法不精确的阻碍。独立评估员使用 44 项冥想体验访谈 (MedEx-I) 在为期 8 周的正念认知疗法计划的三种变体 ( n= 96)。询问每个项目的发生率、与正念冥想练习的因果关系、持续时间、效价和对功能的影响。百分之八十三的 MBP 样本报告了至少一个 MRSE。58% 和 37% 的样本分别发生了与冥想相关的负面影响或对功能的负面影响。6% 到 14% 的样本发生了持久的不良影响，并且与唤醒失调的迹象（过度唤醒和解离）有关。MBPs 中的冥想练习与短暂的痛苦和负面影响相关，其发生率与其他心理治疗相似。
