The current study aimed to examine the effects of a mindfulness group intervention on self-compassion, psychological resilience, and mental health of children from single-parent families in Tibetan areas.
A total of 64 children from single-parent families in Tibetan areas were randomly allocated to a control group (n = 32) and an intervention group (n = 32). Participants in the control group received conventional education, while participants in the intervention group received 6-week mindfulness intervention in addition to the conventional education. Both groups completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Self-compassion Scale (SCS), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent (RSCA), and the Mental Health Test (MHT) before and after the intervention.
After the intervention, the levels of mindfulness and self-compassion in the intervention group were significantly improved in relative to the control group. The positive cognition in the RSCA was significantly increased in the intervention group, whereas no significant change was observed in the control group. There was a trend towards lower self-blame in the MHT, but no significant impact of the intervention on the overall level of mental health was found.
Results suggest that a 6-week mindfulness training effectively improve self-compassion and resilience of single-parent children. Thus, mindfulness training as a cost-effective approach can be arranged in the curriculum, which helps students develop high level of self-compassion and resilience. In addition, there may be a need to improve emotional control in order to improve mental health.
本研究旨在探讨正念团体干预对藏区单亲家庭儿童的自我同情、心理弹性和心理健康的影响。
共有 64 名藏区单亲家庭的儿童被随机分配到对照组（n=32）和干预组（n=32）。对照组接受常规教育，干预组在接受常规教育的同时接受 6 周的正念干预。两组在干预前后均完成了五因素正念问卷（FFMQ）、自我同情量表（SCS）、中国青少年韧性量表（RSCA）和心理健康测试（MHT）。
干预后，干预组的正念和自我同情水平明显高于对照组。干预组 RSCA 的积极认知明显增加，而对照组则没有明显变化。MHT 中的自责倾向呈下降趋势，但干预对整体心理健康水平没有显著影响。
结果表明，6 周的正念训练可以有效提高单亲家庭儿童的自我同情和韧性。因此，正念训练作为一种具有成本效益的方法，可以纳入课程，帮助学生培养高度的自我同情和韧性。此外，可能需要改善情绪控制，以提高心理健康水平。
