While studies on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for youth have recently emerged, there is a shortage of research on how adolescents from clinical populations experience MBSR. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the impact of MBSR from the subjective perspective of adolescents with serious mental health concerns.
Adolescents (n = 28) from a residential treatment center participated in an adapted 8-week MBSR program in which they learned a range of mindfulness skills and were encouraged to apply the skills to their everyday lives. At the end of the program and at a 3-month follow-up, the youth participated in semistructured interviews in which they were asked to describe the impact of the program from their perspectives. Basic interpretive qualitative analysis methods were used to code the data and to group the codes into higher level themes.
Six main themes were found, including improved mood, enhanced relationship to self, increased self-control, improved problem-solving, awareness of the present, and enhanced interpersonal relationships.
Results from this study suggest that the MBSR program was perceived as beneficial both in the short-term and follow-up in several aspects of emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal functioning.
虽然近期出现了关于针对青少年的基于正念减压疗法（MBSR）的研究，但对于临床人群中的青少年如何体验MBSR的研究却很匮乏。这项定性研究的目的是从患有严重心理健康问题的青少年的主观视角探索MBSR的影响。
来自一家住院治疗中心的青少年（n = 28）参与了一个为期8周的适应性MBSR项目，在该项目中他们学习了一系列正念技能，并被鼓励将这些技能应用到日常生活中。在项目结束时以及3个月的随访时，这些青少年参与了半结构化访谈，访谈中他们被要求从自己的视角描述该项目的影响。采用基本的解释性定性分析方法对数据进行编码，并将编码分组为更高层次的主题。
发现了六个主要主题，包括情绪改善、与自我的关系增强、自我控制增加、问题解决能力提高、对当下的觉察以及人际关系增强。
本研究结果表明，MBSR项目在情绪、认知和人际功能的几个方面的短期和随访中都被认为是有益的。
