As a part of the therapeutic relationship, a significant, well-established predictor of outcomes in psychiatric healthcare, healthcare professionals' emotional reactions to patients may affect treatment outcomes.
The aim of our study was to explore and describe healthcare professionals' experiences with managing countertransference using skills from a training program on self-guided imagery in meditation (SIM).
Following an exploratory descriptive design, we conducted qualitative interviews with 10 healthcare professionals who care for patients with mental illness and subjected the collected data to thematic content analysis.
Participants reported that SIM had helped them to manage countertransference and had prompted changes that we categorized into three themes: managing personal vulnerability, setting clearer boundaries, and practicing self-care.
The results suggest that by cultivating wellbeing and dealing with unresolved inner conflicts, SIM can help healthcare professionals to manage countertransference.
作为治疗关系的一部分,在精神卫生保健中,一个重要且已确立的结果预测因素是医疗保健专业人员对患者的情绪反应,这可能会影响治疗结果。
我们研究的目的是探索和描述医疗保健专业人员运用冥想中自我引导意象训练计划(SIM)的技能来管理反移情的经历。
采用探索性描述性设计,我们对10名照顾精神疾病患者的医疗保健专业人员进行了定性访谈,并对收集到的数据进行了主题内容分析。
参与者报告说,SIM帮助他们管理反移情,并促使了一些变化,我们将这些变化分为三个主题:管理个人脆弱性、设定更清晰的界限和进行自我护理。
结果表明,通过培养幸福感和处理未解决的内心冲突,SIM可以帮助医疗保健专业人员管理反移情。
