Caregivers are a vital resource in the care of transplant candidates or recipients. However, few strategies have been tested that attempt to decrease the stress and anxiety they commonly encounter.
To test the feasibility of using mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques to decrease stress and anxiety in caregivers of lung transplant candidates/recipients who required admission to an acute care facility.
30 caregivers of lung transplant candidates/recipients were recruited during hospitalization of their significant other. Each completed the perceived stress scale (PSS) and state trait anxiety inventory (STAI) before and 4 weeks after receiving a DVD that demonstrated MBSR techniques. Participants were asked to practice MBSR techniques for 5-15 min a day for 4 weeks.
The participants had a mean±SD age of 55.6±13.6 years; 77% of participants were female and 93% Caucasian. The mean PSS and STAI (trait and anxiety) scores of caregivers were higher than population norms pre- and post-intervention. Scores for caregivers who stated they watched the entire DVD and practiced MBSR techniques as requested (n=15) decreased significantly from pre- to post-testing for perceived stress (p=0.001), state anxiety (p=0.003) and trait anxiety (p=0.006). Scores for those who watched some or none of the DVD (n=15) did not change significantly.
Caregivers can benefit from stress reduction techniques using MBSR.
在移植候选者或接受者的护理中，护理人员是至关重要的资源。然而，几乎没有经过测试的策略来尝试减轻他们通常所面临的压力和焦虑。
测试使用基于正念减压（MBSR）技术来减轻需要入住急性护理机构的肺移植候选者/接受者的护理人员的压力和焦虑的可行性。
在其重要他人住院期间招募了30名肺移植候选者/接受者的护理人员。每位护理人员在收到展示MBSR技术的DVD之前和之后4周完成感知压力量表（PSS）和状态特质焦虑量表（STAI）。参与者被要求每天练习MBSR技术5至15分钟，持续4周。
参与者的平均年龄为55.6±13.6岁；77%的参与者为女性，93%为白种人。护理人员的平均PSS和STAI（特质和焦虑）得分在干预前后均高于总体标准。表示观看了整个DVD并按要求练习MBSR技术的护理人员（n = 15）在测试前到测试后，感知压力（p = 0.001）、状态焦虑（p = 0.003）和特质焦虑（p = 0.006）得分显著降低。观看了部分或未观看DVD的人员（n = 15）得分没有显著变化。
护理人员可以从使用MBSR的减压技术中受益。
