The aim of the study was to explore experiences of practising mindfulness in participants within an early intervention for psychosis (EIP) service.
A qualitative research methodology was used - that of grounded theory. This was chosen as it enabled examination of clients' experiences of mindfulness practice.
The experience of mindfulness among nine people within an EIP service who had been practising mindfulness for at least 20 weeks was investigated. Semi-structured interviews exploring how mindfulness practice related to psychosis and day-to-day life were recorded verbatim, transcribed, and analysed.
Four main categories emerged: being able to use mindfulness, making sense of mindfulness and coping, relating to people differently, and increased self-understanding and acceptance.
All participants reported subjective benefits and challenges of mindfulness practice, and gave insights into processes of change. These preliminary data suggest mindfulness can be of use to individuals experiencing their first episode of psychosis.
本研究旨在探讨早期精神病干预（EIP）服务中参与者练习正念的体验。
采用扎根理论的定性研究方法，因为它可以检验客户对正念实践的体验。
调查了 EIP 服务中九名至少练习正念 20 周的人对正念的体验。记录并转录了半结构化访谈，探讨正念实践与精神病和日常生活的关系，并进行了分析。
出现了四个主要类别：能够使用正念、理解和应对正念、以不同的方式与他人建立关系，以及提高自我理解和接受度。
所有参与者都报告了正念练习的主观益处和挑战，并深入了解了变化的过程。这些初步数据表明，正念对经历首次精神病发作的个体可能有用。
