本研究以Marlatt的“冲浪冲浪”技术(Marlatt&Gordon,1985)为基础,研究了基于正念的简短指令集对吸烟相关冲动和行为的影响。123名大学生吸烟者(N=123)对改变吸烟有兴趣,但目前没有参与戒烟计划,他们参加了旨在引发吸烟冲动的线索暴露范例。他们被随机分配到接受基于正念的短暂指导的小组或没有接受指导的控制组。结果表明,不同群体在冲动的衡量标准上没有显著差异。然而,与对照组相比,正念组的人在7天的随访期内吸烟明显减少。这些发现表明,正念技巧最初可能不会减少吸烟的冲动,但可能会改变对冲动的反应。这项研究为未来研究基于正念的吸烟干预机制和有效性提供了初步数据。
The current study investigates effects of a brief mindfulness-based instruction set, based on Marlatt's "urge surfing" technique (Marlatt & Gordon, 1985), on smoking-related urges and behavior. Undergraduate smokers (N = 123) who were interested in changing their smoking, but not currently involved in a cessation program, participated in a cue exposure paradigm designed to elicit urges to smoke. They were randomly assigned either to a group receiving brief mindfulness-based instructions or to a no-instruction control group. Results suggest that groups did not differ significantly on measures of urges. However, those in the mindfulness group smoked significantly fewer cigarettes over a 7-day follow-up period as compared to those in the control group. These findings suggest that the mindfulness techniques may not initially reduce urges to smoke but may change the response to urges. The study provides preliminary data for future studies examining both mechanisms and effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions for cigarette smoking.
