BACKGROUND: This review explores unique racial and trauma-related constructs associated with gastrointestinal conditions (GCs) in Black women, offering culturally relevant contemplative solutions for healing and holistic well-being. Additionally, we investigate the potential of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in mitigating stress-induced GCs within this demographic. Guided by two theoretical frameworks, the Superwoman Schema (SWS) and critical feminist theory, the study unravels how cumulative stress, or allostatic load, intersects with socio-contextual factors, contributing to debilitating psychological and physiological health issues. Their intersectionality influences both individuals' presentation in clinical settings and the quality of care they receive.
METHODS: Employing subject-related term searches alongside a coupling technique, we elucidated a unique progression of GCs in Black women, guided by their distinct experiences. The search resulted in 11 papers: 2 on the stress and trauma of Black women, 2 on external trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) risk, 2 on stressors affecting gut health, 2 on GCs in Black individuals, 2 on mindfulness and comorbidities, and 1 on incorporating mindfulness in the Black community.
RESULTS: The findings underscore a relationship between psychological stress, trauma, and GCs, mainly affecting Black women. Moreover, MBIs have promising effects on relationships and self-worth, supporting trauma recovery among the population.
CONCLUSION: By merging frameworks addressing racism and trauma's impact on gut health, this review uncovers pathways for understanding how these factors specifically manifest in Black women. This highlights the potential of targeted MBIs as promising avenues for treating GCs in the population and for promoting overall well-being through culturally sensitive methods.
