Mindfulness interventions have been shown to ameliorate stress in support staff working with people with intellectual disabilities. This review aimed to explore what impact mindfulness interventions for staff have on their care and support behaviours, and on the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities receiving support.
A systematic search of PsycINFO, Web of Science, ASSIA, and PubMed identified nine studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Outcomes were collated and a quality assessment tool was used to inform the critical analysis of the studies.
Despite identified methodological issues, positive results were consistently reported. These included reduced use of restrictive practices by staff, increased positive interactions between staff and people with intellectual disabilities, and reduced aggression displayed by people with intellectual disabilities.
Further research in this area is required; however, this review supports the benefits of mindfulness on staff behaviour and the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities.
正念干预已被证明可以减轻从事智障人士相关工作的支持人员的压力。本综述旨在探讨正念干预对工作人员的护理和支持行为，以及对接受支持的智障人士的体验有何影响。
系统检索 PsycINFO、Web of Science、ASSIA 和 PubMed，确定了符合纳入标准的九项研究。对结果进行了汇总，并使用质量评估工具对研究进行了批判性分析。
尽管存在已确定的方法学问题，但始终报告了积极的结果。这些结果包括工作人员减少使用限制性行为、工作人员与智障人士之间的积极互动增加，以及智障人士表现出的攻击行为减少。
需要在该领域进行进一步的研究；然而，本综述支持正念对工作人员行为和智障人士生活质量的益处。
