Evaluating and learning from a mind-body medicine course: A mixed methods study (2)
This project learns from the experience of participants in an eight-week Mind-Body Medicine program (MBM). Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) teaches people how to help themselves by uncovering and engaging their inner resources and building resilience, broadly understood. The eight-week MBM program is delivered through the Iris Centre for Mindfulness, Peace and Healing in Fredericton. This research synthesizes the data gathered through previous Mitacs funded projects and focuses on knowledge mobilization through academic publication and presentations. The previous internships analyzed nearly 1000 course completion surveys and conduced individual and group interviews with participants, including participants who dropped out of the training. A public report was produced synthesizing the findings for a lay audience. This internship will focus on knowledge mobilization resulting in the production of at least one academic presentation and manuscript for peer review, with the intern as lead author on both. The research will support program development at the Iris Centre and contributing to the development of similar programs in the province of New Brunswick and nationally.
