Abstract
Methods: CINAHL, Medline, Nursing and Allied Health Database, PsycARTICLES, Psychology Database, PsycINFO were searched (1980-2017). Data were extracted and quality appraisal completed.
Results: The search identified 4008 studies, which reduced to 9 after screening. The review included varied designs: qualitative (n=2), quantitative (n=6), and mixed methods (n=1). Different conditions and various forms of partnerships were included. Mindfulness can alleviate psychological symptoms. Learning mindfulness in a partnership might improve dyadic coping and/or engagement with mindfulness. Results were sometimes contradictory and questions remain about the value of delivering mindfulness in a partnership.
Conclusions: Learning mindfulness in a partnership can improve psychological wellbeing, but improvements are often small and not experienced by everyone. Learning in a partnership can improve engagement with mindfulness and improve dyadic coping, but these findings are inconclusive and need further exploration.
