The Effect of Mindfulness in Inflammation Markers (MLR, NLR, PLR), Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Rate Among Survivors of Tidal Flooding in Sayung Demak

Tidal flood disasters in coastal areas cause chronic psychological stress due to economic, social, and residential disruption. Psychological stress is closely linked to systemic inflammatory responses-marked by elevated Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR)-which are associated with depression and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness interventions, particularly body scan techniques, have been shown to reduce psychological distress and modulate immune responses, but empirical evidence on coastal flood survivors in Indonesia remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based mindfulness body scan intervention on inflammatory biomarkers (MLR, NLR, PLR) and psychological parameters (stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, sleep quality, and resilience) among tidal flood survivors in Sayung, Demak. Participants will undergo baseline blood work and psychometric assessments, receive an 8-day mindfulness body scan intervention, and complete post-intervention evaluations.
