简介：在这项研究中，我们检查了城市社区卫生中心（M-Body）对社会经济弱势妇女进行基于正念的团体干预的可接受性和可行性。方法：邀请参加为期 8 周基于正念的团体干预的 18-65 岁有抑郁症状的女性参加后续焦点小组，了解她们的经历。归纳内容分析用于识别记录中的主题。结果：所有参与者都是非裔美国人（N = 27）。参与者过去的正念经验有限。他们报告的好处包括愤怒管理、增强对思想、情绪和行为的控制、增强意识/注意力以及感觉平静和放松。参加会议的障碍包括交通、就业、家庭责任和儿童保育。参与者建议进行修改，例如提供多种格式的音频、增加做瑜伽的时间、修改瑜伽姿势以及提供定向课程。他们表示小组的内容和交付形式是可以接受的。讨论：基于正念的抑郁症干预措施是可以接受的，可以减轻社区卫生中心妇女的压力并改善应对和功能。
Introduction: In this study we examined the acceptability and feasibility of a mindfulness based group intervention for socio-economically disadvantaged women in an urban community health center (M-Body).Method: Women ages 18-65 with depressive symptoms who participated in an 8-week mindfulness based group intervention were invited to attend follow up focus groups about their experience. Inductive content analysis was used to identify themes from transcripts.Results: All participants were African-American (N = 27). Participants had limited past experience with mindfulness. They reported benefits included anger management, increased control of thoughts, emotions and behaviors, enhanced awareness/focus and feeling calm and relaxed. Barriers to session attendance included transportation, employment, family responsibilities and child care. Participants suggested modifications such as providing the audio in multiple formats, increasing time spent doing yoga, modifying yoga postures and providing an orientation session. They stated that the content and delivery format of the group was acceptable.Discussion: The mindfulness based intervention for depression was acceptable, reduced stress and improved coping and functioning among women in a community health center.
