Suffering is a common experience in palliative care. In our study, we aimed to determine the effect of 5-min mindfulness of love on suffering and the spiritual quality of life of palliative care patients.
We conducted a parallel-group, blinded, randomized controlled study at the University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Malaysia from February 2019 to April 2019. Sixty adult palliative care patients with an overall suffering score of 4/10 or above based on the Suffering Pictogram were recruited and randomly assigned to either the 5-min mindfulness of love group (N = 30) or the 5-min supportive listening group (N = 30).
There were statistically significant improvements in the overall suffering score (mean difference = -2.9, CI = -3.7 to -2.1, t = -7.268, p = 0.000) and the total FACIT-Sp-12 score (mean difference = 2.9, CI = 1.5 to 4.3, t = 4.124, p = 0.000) in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The results provided evidence that 5-min mindfulness of love could affect the actual state of suffering and the spiritual quality of life of palliative care patients.
痛苦是姑息治疗中常见的体验。在我们的研究中，我们旨在确定 5 分钟爱的正念对姑息治疗患者痛苦和精神生活质量的影响。
我们在马来西亚马来亚大学医学中心（UMMC）进行了一项平行组、双盲、随机对照研究，时间为 2019 年 2 月至 2019 年 4 月。招募了 60 名整体痛苦评分（基于痛苦象形图）为 4/10 或以上的成年姑息治疗患者，并将其随机分为 5 分钟爱的正念组（N=30）或 5 分钟支持性倾听组（N=30）。
干预组的整体痛苦评分（平均差值=-2.9，CI=-3.7 至-2.1，t=-7.268，p=0.000）和 FACIT-Sp-12 总分（平均差值=2.9，CI=1.5 至 4.3，t=4.124，p=0.000）均有统计学显著改善，而对照组则无显著改善。
结果提供了证据表明，5 分钟爱的正念可以影响姑息治疗患者的实际痛苦状态和精神生活质量。
