简要总结
Body scan meditation has been assumed to be an interoceptive intervention, and the evidence for its effects on interoceptive processes is unclear. Although this mindfulness based exercise typically involves focusing on some interoceptive signals such as breath, it also involves other bodily cues, such as somatosensory cues. The present study aimed to (1) investigate the feasibility of three online delivered mindfulness practices that differ in the signals targeted: visceral body scan (VBS), somatosensory body scan (SBS), and external (non body) meditation (ECM), and (2) gain insight into the potentially different effects of these interventions on interoceptive and other psychological outcomes in order to inform future full scale randomized controlled trials (RCT).

结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability assessed by a satisfaction questionnaire
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Treatment Satisfaction Scale. It includes 5 items rated on Likert-point scale ranging from 0 to 10. Thus, total scores range from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability of the intervention
Adherence assessed by completed intervention sessions
时间窗: Through study completion, a total of 7 days
Percentage of completed daily sessions during the 7-day intervention
Meditation-related adverse effects assessed by a self-report questionnaire
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Meditation-Related Adverse Effect Scale - Mindfulness-Based Program. It includes 11 dichotomic items (yes/no questions), so scores ranges from 0 to 11, with higher scores indicating more adverse effects
Self-reported quality of the mindfulness practice
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Practice Quality-Mindfulness. It consists of 6 items rated on a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting a higher level of practice quality.
