Medical practitioners and students are at increased risk of a number of personal and psychological problems. Stress and anxiety due to work-load and study requirements are common and self-care methods are important in maintaining well-being. The current study examines perceptions of and satisfaction ratings with a mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) programme for 1(st) year (compulsory) and 2(nd) year (optional) Graduate Entry Medical School students.
A mixed method pre and post study of Year 1 (n = 140) and Year 2 (n = 88) medical students completing a 7 week MBSR course compared student satisfaction ratings. Thematic analysis of feedback from the students on their perception of the course was also carried out.
Year 1 students (compulsory course) were less satisfied with content and learning outcomes than Year 2 students (optional course) (p < .0005). Thematic analysis of year 1 student feedback identified themes including great concept, poorly executed; and less discussion, more practice. Year 2 themes included session environment and satisfaction with tutors.
The MBSR course was associated with high levels of satisfaction and positive feedback when delivered on an optional basis. Catering for the individual needs of the participant and promoting a safe environment are core elements of a successful self-care programme.
医学从业者和学生面临多种个人及心理问题的风险增加。因工作量和学习要求导致的压力和焦虑很常见，自我护理方法对维持身心健康很重要。本研究调查了一年级（必修）和二年级（选修）医学研究生入学项目学生对基于正念减压（MBSR）课程的看法和满意度评分。
对完成7周MBSR课程的一年级（n = 140）和二年级（n = 88）医学生进行混合方法的前后研究，比较学生满意度评分。还对学生关于课程看法的反馈进行了主题分析。
一年级学生（必修课）对课程内容和学习成果的满意度低于二年级学生（选修课）（p <.0005）。对一年级学生反馈的主题分析确定的主题包括概念很棒，执行不佳；讨论较少，实践较多。二年级的主题包括课程环境和对导师的满意度。
当MBSR课程作为选修课提供时，与高水平的满意度和积极反馈相关。满足参与者的个人需求并营造安全的环境是成功的自我护理计划的核心要素。
