This study examined whether distinct mindfulness profiles explain physical health complaints common among college students. Participants were 535 college students. : Participants completed the Five Facet Mindfulness and Physical Health Questionnaires. Latent profile analysis and the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars method examined whether mindfulness profiles uniquely explained sleep disturbances, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory illness symptoms. Three mindfulness profiles were identified: Judgmentally Observing, Average Mindfulness, and High Mindfulness/Nonjudgmentally Aware. The High Mindfulness/Nonjudgmentally Aware profile students tended to report having the best physical health (i.e., fewer sleep disturbances, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory illness symptoms). Conversely, students with the Judgmentally Observing profile reported the worst physical health outcomes (i.e., more sleep disturbances, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, and respiratory illness symptoms). By exploring the associations between mindfulness profiles and physical health outcomes, this study offers a deeper understanding of the impact targeting specific mindfulness skills can have for promoting college student health.
本研究探讨了不同的正念特征是否能解释大学生中常见的身体健康问题。参与者为535名大学生。参与者完成了五因素正念问卷和身体健康问卷。潜在类别分析以及博尔克 - 克鲁恩 - 哈格纳尔斯方法检验了正念特征是否能独特地解释睡眠障碍、头痛、胃肠道问题和呼吸道疾病症状。确定了三种正念特征:评判性观察型、平均正念型和高正念/非评判性觉察型。高正念/非评判性觉察型特征的学生往往报告身体健康状况最佳(即睡眠障碍、头痛、胃肠道问题和呼吸道疾病症状较少)。相反,评判性观察型特征的学生报告的身体健康结果最差(即睡眠障碍、头痛、胃肠道问题和呼吸道疾病症状较多)。通过探索正念特征与身体健康结果之间的关联,本研究更深入地了解了针对特定正念技能对促进大学生健康可能产生的影响。
