From: Mindfulness training during brief periods of hospitalization in multiple sclerosis (MS): beneficial alterations in fatigue and the mediating role of depression

Fig. 3

Mean scores on outcome parameters across assessments prior to (PRE) and following the mindfulness training (POST), displayed for trait mindfulness (a), depression (b) and physical fatigue (c), with respective p-values below the Bonferroni-corrected threshold of p <.0125. Note that all changes remained significant when the N = 2 cases whose training exceeded six sessions were removed. In case of distraction tendencies (d), there was a trend for an improved adaptive ability to steer attention away from arising negative mood (p = .014). Error bar represent +/- 1 standard deviation; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; FMI = Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory; RSQ = Response Styles Questionnaire; WEIMuS = Wuerzburger Fatigue Inventory for Multiple Sclerosis; ** = significant at p< .01
