This paper explores the feasibility of a brief Mindfulness with Metta Training Program (MMTP), targeting the enhancement of mindfulness and self-compassion in a retreat format, as a means of increasing resilience in human services professionals. In this randomised control trial, 44 human services professionals were randomly allocated either to a MMTP retreat group or to a control group. Following the MMTP intervention, no significant differences between the retreat and control groups were found on resilience, mindfulness and self-compassion variables. However, significant improvements were observed over time for the retreat group for mindfulness and self-compassion at one and four months and for resilience at four-months post MMTP intervention. The results of this pilot study show that MMTP in a retreat format is a promising method of increasing resilience, mindfulness and self-compassion in human services professionals.
本文探讨了一个简短的慈心正念训练计划（MMTP）的可行性，该计划以静修形式进行，旨在增强正念和自我同情，作为提高人类服务专业人员心理韧性的一种手段。在这项随机对照试验中，44名人类服务专业人员被随机分配到MMTP静修组或对照组。在MMTP干预后，静修组和对照组在心理韧性、正念和自我同情变量上没有发现显著差异。然而，随着时间的推移，静修组在MMTP干预后1个月和4个月时的正念和自我同情以及4个月时的心理韧性都有显著改善。这项初步研究的结果表明，以静修形式开展的MMTP是提高人类服务专业人员心理韧性、正念和自我同情的一种有前景的方法。
