Effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on rumination and post-traumatic growth in patients with acute cerebral infarction: A randomized controlled trial.

Background

The prevention and management of cerebrovascular diseases, particularly cerebral infarction - the most prevalent type of cerebrovascular disease - pose significant challenges, severely affecting patients' physical and mental health.
