Although mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can improve health and well-being, less is known about factors that predict outcomes. This prospective observational study examined gender and baseline anxiety and sleep quality as predictors of change in emotion regulation and stress symptoms following an 8-week MBSR program. Women and men reported similar improvement in stress symptoms and cognitive reappraisal, whereas men improved more in emotion suppression. Individuals with higher anxiety and worse sleep pre-treatment benefited most in terms of decreased stress. Evaluating pre-treatment characteristics could help determine optimal candidates for MBSR training, and could optimize outcomes for both women and men.
尽管基于正念的压力减轻（MBSR）可以改善健康和幸福感，但对于预测结果的因素知之甚少。这项前瞻性观察研究考察了性别以及基线焦虑和睡眠质量作为 8 周 MBSR 计划后情绪调节和压力症状变化的预测因素。女性和男性在压力症状和认知重评方面报告了类似的改善，而男性在情绪抑制方面的改善更多。治疗前焦虑和睡眠质量较差的个体在降低压力方面获益最大。评估治疗前特征有助于确定 MBSR 训练的最佳人选，并优化男女的结果。
