Exploratory findings. Predictors of change in depressive symptoms during the active phase of treatment and follow-up, independently of intervention received The study showed that changes in decentering skills predicted changes in depressive symptoms during the active stage of treatment. This suggests that an increase in the ability to decenter from negative thinking during the first week of intervention practice is the most relevant factor in the reduction of depressive symptoms. This finding supports previous studies showing that a decentered perspective was associated with a decrease in depressive symptoms among depressed patients who had MBCT (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2002). In addition, the present results showed that changes in mindfulness skills predicted changes in depressive symptoms during the follow-up stage. This is consistent with findings from other studies suggesting that changes in mindfulness were associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms (Xxxxx et al., 2008). Considering that there were no significant changes in depressive symptoms from post-intervention to follow-up, what this finding tentatively suggests is that mindfulness skills were a relevant factor in the maintenance of depressive symptoms during the follow-up period. The pattern of changes suggests that, for both interventions, depressive symptoms decreased rapidly within the actual intervention period, and gains were maintained during the follow-up period. This is in line with studies indicating that, in the treatment of depression, significant improvements often occur during the early stages of therapy (Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Landes, & Xxxxxxxxxx, 2006; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 1994, 1999). A more detailed examination of the pattern of changes according to severity of depressive symptoms suggests that, from pre to post-intervention, symptoms in the severe range decreased in both groups (from 60% of participants to 20% in the mindfulness group, and from 65% to 10% in the relaxation group), with an increase in scores falling in the sub-clinical range (see Table 3 in Results). These findings reflect the large effect size found for changes in depressive symptoms over time, and suggest that, in addition to being statistically significant, changes in depressive symptoms were clinically meaningful. Practice levels (for each intervention) were relatively high during the active intervention period; however, they decreased in the relaxation group during the follow-up period, whereas in the mindfulness group they were maint...
