Trait mindfulness could function as a protective factor against distress. The current study investigated the relationship of the five distinct facets of mindfulness and COVID-19 related distress.
An online self-report study was conducted in a Dutch sample (N = 811; M = 49 ± 17; 54.5 % female) in February 2021. Dispositional mindfulness was assessed with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the COVID Stress Scale was used to assess COVID-19 related distress.
Multivariate regression analyses showed that describing and non-judging were inversely related to COVID-19 related distress. Specifically, describing was related to fewer socioeconomic worries, while describing and non-judging were negatively associated with traumatic stress symptoms. Non-judging was negatively associated with COVID-19-related compulsive checking.
The results indicate that individuals high in mindfulness traits describing and non-judging, experience less distress during the pandemic. Teaching mindfulness skills and practice could be helpful in global situations like pandemics.
特质正念可以作为应对困扰的保护因素。本研究调查了正念的五个不同方面与 COVID-19 相关困扰之间的关系。
2021 年 2 月,在荷兰样本中进行了一项在线自我报告研究(N=811;M=49±17;54.5%为女性)。特质正念采用五因素正念问卷进行评估,COVID-19 应激量表评估 COVID-19 相关困扰。
多变量回归分析表明,描述和不评判与 COVID-19 相关困扰呈负相关。具体来说,描述与较少的社会经济担忧有关,而描述和不评判与创伤后应激症状呈负相关。不评判与 COVID-19 相关的强迫检查呈负相关。
研究结果表明,在大流行期间,描述和不评判特质正念较高的个体,体验到的困扰较少。在像大流行这样的全球情况下,教授正念技能和实践可能会有所帮助。
