• Disadvantages from inadequate practice
![Page 16: Partial efficacy of Vipassana mindfulness approach in alcohol- … · 2018-11-07 · Partial efficacy of Vipassana mindfulness approach in alcohol-dependent persons Nualnong Wongtongkam](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042319/5f089b3c7e708231d422d72b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Discussion
• The findings demonstrated that a mindfulness meditation exercise lasting one month was ineffective in improving mindfulness levels and empathy scores and reducing depressive symptoms for alcohol-dependent adults
However, qualitative results showed an intervention group reported improved self-control and self-awareness .

• The non-significant outcomes could be explained through cultural and individual differences
• Cultural factors may have intervened to limit the chance of successful intervention
• Thais have been practiced mindfulness since childhood as a religious practice, have possibly acquired an immune (resistant) response to negative emotions
• Additionally, participants had to follow their usual treatment regimens- there was no time to practice mindfulness at the centre
