Mindfulness, rejection sensitivity and resilience in patients with thalassemia: a survey in Southeastern Iran.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Thalassemia, due to its chronic nature, predisposes patients to various psychological issues, including rejection sensitivity, and can negatively impact resilience, thereby reducing quality of life. Mindfulness, as a psychological construct, has been shown to enhance emotional regulation and resilience, and may serve as a mediating factor in reducing rejection sensitivity and promoting resilience. This study aimed to investigate mindfulness and its correlation with rejection sensitivity and resilience in patients with thalassemia. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study involved 143 patients with thalassemia attending the Thalassemia Center in Kerman, Iran, during the year 2022-2023. Patients were asked to fill demographic and disease-related information form, the Freiburg Mindfulness inventory Short Form (FMI-SF), the Adult Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (A-RSQ), and the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.25. Results: The results showed a negative and significant correlation between mindfulness and rejection sensitivity (p = 0.001, r = -0.28). There was a positive and significant correlation between mindfulness and resilience (p<0.001, r = 0.48). Additionally, rejection sensitivity had a negative significant correlation with resilience (p < 0.001, r = -0.32). Linear regression analysis was used to assess the predictive relationships between variables. It indicated that mindfulness significantly predicted resilience (p < 0.05), while there was no significant predictive relationship between mindfulness and rejection sensitivity (p=0.05). Conclusion: This study found that mindfulness levels are associated with resilience and rejection sensitivity in patients with thalassemia. According to the results of the present study, tailoring interventions to effectively support thalassemia patients in managing rejection sensitivity and enhancing resilience could be beneficial, particularly when combined with mindfulness practices. However, further research is necessary to confirm their clinical effectiveness.
