Social and healthcare problems associated with dementia not only affect those who suffer from this disease, but their caregivers as well. The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of mindfulness intervention on psychological variables of caregivers of persons with dementia. A search for scientific articles published from 2000 to 2019 in the PubMed, Web of Science and PsycINFO databases found a total of 282 articles. After screening with preestablished inclusion criteria, ten studies with participation of 161 caregivers remained for the meta-analysis. The results were significant in favor of mindfulness intervention for the variables studied with a standardized difference of mean of 0.71 at a 95% CI, 0.71 (0.52, 0.89); ≤ 0.00001. Heterogeneity of the studies included was moderate ( = 40%). The main conclusion suggested by empirical evidence was that mindfulness intervention seems to be effective for the variables analyzed. However, continued in-depth study of this subject is recommended.
与痴呆症相关的社会和医疗问题不仅影响患有这种疾病的人,也影响他们的照顾者。本研究的目的是分析正念干预对痴呆症患者照顾者心理变量的疗效。在PubMed、科学网和PsycINFO数据库中检索2000年至2019年发表的科学文章,共找到282篇文章。根据预先设定的纳入标准进行筛选后,有10项研究共161名照顾者参与了荟萃分析。对于所研究的变量,结果显著支持正念干预,标准化平均差异为0.71,95%置信区间为0.71(0.52, 0.89);P≤0.00001。纳入研究的异质性为中等程度(I² = 40%)。实证证据表明的主要结论是,正念干预似乎对所分析的变量有效。然而,建议继续对该主题进行深入研究。
