The purpose of the study was to examine potential psychological health benefits of participating in a brief (5-week) mindfulness-based stress reduction (brief MBSR) program integrated into an academic course.
Participants were 119 undergraduate students (treatment: n = 72; control: n = 47) enrolled in elective academic courses on addictive behaviors, between January 2010 and May 2012.
This study employed a quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design comparing changes in psychological health between brief MBSR treatment and parallel control groups. Baseline and follow-up data were collected synchronously across semesters for both groups.
Analysis of covariance revealed significant improvements in psychological health, measured by mindfulness (Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale: p ≤ .001; Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Scale: p ≤ .001) and self-compassion (Self-compassion Scale: p ≤ .001), among brief MBSR participants compared with the parallel control cohort. Significant reductions in trait anxiety were not evident.
Brief MBSR programs can improve psychological health; however, longer MBSR programs may be needed to improve psychological distress, such as trait anxiety.
本研究旨在探讨将正念减压（brief MBSR）课程融入选修学术课程中对参与者心理健康的潜在益处。
2010 年 1 月至 2012 年 5 月期间，119 名大学生（实验组：n = 72；对照组：n = 47）参与了成瘾行为的选修学术课程。
本研究采用准实验前后测设计，比较了 brief MBSR 治疗组和并行对照组之间心理健康的变化。两个组在学期内同步收集基线和随访数据。
协方差分析显示，与平行对照组相比，brief MBSR 组的参与者在心理健康方面有显著改善，表现在正念（费城正念量表：p ≤.001；肯塔基正念量表：p ≤.001）和自我同情（自我同情量表：p ≤.001）方面。特质焦虑的显著降低并不明显。
brief MBSR 课程可以改善心理健康；然而，可能需要更长时间的 MBSR 课程来改善心理困扰，如特质焦虑。
