Cortisol is increasingly included in examinations of mindfulness intervention effects as an indicator of efficacy; however, the association of cortisol and mindfulness has yet to be rigorously evaluated. A systematic review of six studies examining mindfulness intervention effects on cortisol was conducted. Inconsistent results were found for mindfulness effects on cortisol. Significant changes in cortisol levels were observed in within-participants studies but not observed in randomised controlled trial designs. Mindfulness may influence cortisol, but findings are inconclusive. Mindfulness pathways and methodological differences influence variations in mindfulness effects. Robust protocols are needed to adequately examine mindfulness effects on cortisol.
皮质醇越来越多地被纳入正念干预效果的检查中，作为疗效指标；然而，皮质醇与正念之间的关联尚未得到严格评估。我们对六项研究正念干预对皮质醇影响的研究进行了系统综述。发现正念对皮质醇的影响结果不一致。在参与者内部研究中观察到皮质醇水平有显著变化，但在随机对照试验设计中未观察到。正念可能会影响皮质醇，但研究结果尚无定论。正念途径和方法学差异会影响正念效果的变化。需要稳健的方案来充分检验正念对皮质醇的影响。
