我们促成了一个以艺术为基础的正念小组项目，让在医院接受短期住院精神健康支持的年轻人参与其中。我们的目的是探索这些被边缘化的青少年通过接触到集体干预所经历的挑战和好处。使用主题分析框架对40个小组前访谈和24个小组后访谈进行了分析。发现：定性的发现是使用创造性的非虚构类作品以复合小插曲的形式呈现的。复合插图描绘了主题中的内容，创造性地讲述了一个更有说服力的故事，说明了数据集中的关键点和主题。这个小插曲展示了心理健康挑战是如何给年轻人的生活带来问题的。尽管大多数年轻人最初对参加该项目感到紧张，但该项目的优势和以艺术为基础的性质帮助他们与团队中的其他人建立了联系，并表达了自己。所有的年轻人都报告说，这个集体项目很有趣，也很有益。他们学会了识别自己的感受/想法，并用创造性的表达方式来表达这些感受/想法。创作艺术帮助他们发展了自我意识，并在小组中创造了乐趣，并使用小组方法。此外，学习正念有助于他们以不同的方式思考，并更多地集中精力和放松。应用：这一试点项目的结果需要进一步研究基于创造性力量的正念干预对经历精神健康挑战的住院青少年的好处。合成的插曲集中了年轻人的声音，并全面介绍了他们的经历。
We facilitated an arts-based mindfulness group program with youths who were receiving short-term in-patient mental health supports within hospital. We aimed to explore the challenges and benefits these marginalized youths experienced through their exposure to the group intervention. Forty pregroup and 24 postgroup interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis framework. Findings: The qualitative findings are presented using creative nonfiction in the form of a composite vignette. The composite vignette portrays the content within the themes, creatively telling a more compelling story that illustrates key points and themes within the data set. The vignette shows how mental health challenges created problems in the youths' lives. Although most of the youths were initially nervous about participating in the program, the strengths and arts-based nature of the program helped them to connect with others in the group and express themselves. All of the youths reported that the group program was enjoyable and beneficial. They learned to identify what they were feeling/thinking and to express these feelings/thoughts using creative means of expression. Making art helped them to develop their self-awareness and created enjoyment in the group and with the group methods. Also, learning about mindfulness helped them to think in different ways, and to focus and relax more. Application: The results of this pilot project warrant further investigation into the benefits of creative strengths-based mindfulness-based interventions for in-patient youths experiencing mental health challenges. The composite vignette centers the youths' voices and provides a comprehensive account of their experiences.
