Although numerous studies have demonstrated that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) improves clinical and nonclinical outcomes, few studies have followed MBSR participants for >12 months, and few have analyzed post-intervention home practice.
We followed a community sample of 247 self-referred adults for 2 years after completion of an 8-week MBSR program. Dependent variables, including self-reported anxiety, depression, perceived wellness, mindfulness, and duration and frequency of continued home practice, were measured before and after the program and every 6 months after.
Participants reported significantly improved symptoms of depression and anxiety, increased perceived wellness, and increased mindfulness after the 8-week intervention compared with preintervention reports. These improvements persisted for 2 years. Correlations between post-intervention home practice and mindfulness indicated that individuals who continued to practice developed greater mindfulness, which was associated with improved mental health and wellness.
Participants who completed the MBSR program reported significant improvements in anxiety, depression, perceived wellness, and mindfulness during the program.
尽管众多研究表明基于正念的减压疗法(MBSR)可改善临床和非临床结局,但很少有研究对参与MBSR的人员进行超过12个月的跟踪,且很少有研究分析干预后的家庭练习情况。
我们对247名自行报名的成年人组成的社区样本进行了跟踪,在他们完成为期8周的MBSR课程后持续观察2年。在课程前后以及之后每6个月测量相关因变量,包括自我报告的焦虑、抑郁、感知到的健康状况、正念以及持续家庭练习的时长和频率。
与干预前报告相比,参与者报告称在为期8周的干预后,抑郁和焦虑症状显著改善,感知到的健康状况增强,正念增加。这些改善持续了2年。干预后家庭练习与正念之间的相关性表明,持续练习者培养出了更强的正念水平,并与心理健康和幸福感增强相关。
完成MBSR课程的参与者报告称在课程期间焦虑、抑郁、感知到的健康状况和正念均有显著改善。
