This study utilized a mixed methods approach to examine the feasibility and acceptability of group compassion focused therapy for adults with intellectual disabilities (CFT-ID). Six participants with mild ID participated in six sessions of group CFT, specifically adapted for adults with ID. Session-by-session feasibility and acceptability measures suggested that participants understood the group content and process and experienced group sessions and experiential practices as helpful and enjoyable. Thematic analysis of focus groups identified three themes relating to (1) direct experiences of the group, (2) initial difficulties in being self-compassionate and (3) positive emotional changes. Pre- and post-group outcome measures indicated significant reductions in both self-criticism and unfavourable social comparisons. Results suggest that CFT can be adapted for individuals with ID and provide preliminary evidence that people with ID and psychological difficulties may experience a number of benefits from this group intervention.
本研究采用混合方法来检验针对成年智障人士的团体聚焦慈悲疗法（CFT-ID）的可行性和可接受性。六名轻度智障参与者参加了六次团体CFT，该疗法是专门为智障成年人调整的。逐节进行的可行性和可接受性测量表明，参与者理解团体内容和过程，并认为团体课程和体验式练习有益且有趣。焦点小组的主题分析确定了三个主题，分别与（1）团体的直接体验、（2）自我慈悲的初始困难以及（3）积极的情绪变化有关。团体前后的结果测量表明，自我批评和不良社会比较均显著减少。结果表明，CFT可以适用于智障人士，并提供了初步证据，证明智障且有心理困难的人可能会从这种团体干预中受益。
