目的:越来越多的证据表明,正念对临床和非临床人群的心理和身体健康都有积极的影响。正念的潜在好处支持了一系列旨在提高临床和社区环境中正念的治疗干预方法。自我引导的正念干预可能是增加正念益处的一种方式。本研究探讨了一个简短的,在线的,正念为基础的干预是否可以增加正念和减少感知压力和焦虑/抑郁症状的学生population.Method:一百零四名学生被随机分配到立即开始一个为期两周的,自我指导,在线,正念为基础的干预或等待列表控制。正念,感知压力和焦虑/抑郁的措施进行管理之前和之后的干预periods.Results:意向治疗分析确定显着组的正念技能,感知压力和焦虑/抑郁症状的时间互动。参与干预与显着改善,在所有测量领域,这些措施没有显着变化被发现为control group.Conclusions:这提供了证据,支持较短的自我引导正念为基础的干预措施的可行性和有效性。本研究的局限性和临床实践的影响进行了讨论。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objectives: There is growing evidence that mindfulness has positive consequences for both psychological and physical health in both clinical and non-clinical populations. The potential benefits of mindfulness underpin a range of therapeutic intervention approaches designed to increase mindfulness in both clinical and community contexts. Self-guided mindfulness-based interventions may be a way to increase access to the benefits of mindfulness. This study explored whether a brief, online, mindfulness-based intervention can increase mindfulness and reduce perceived stress and anxiety/depression symptoms within a student population.Method: One hundred and four students were randomly allocated to either immediately start a two-week, self-guided, online, mindfulness-based intervention or a wait-list control. Measures of mindfulness, perceived stress and anxiety/depression were administered before and after the intervention period.Results: Intention to treat analysis identified significant group by time interactions for mindfulness skills, perceived stress and anxiety/depression symptoms. Participation in the intervention was associated with significant improvements in all measured domains, where no significant changes on these measures were found for the control group.Conclusions: This provides evidence in support of the feasibility and effectiveness of shorter self-guided mindfulness-based interventions. The limitations and implications of this study for clinical practice are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
