Abstract

Prior research suggests mindfulness-based interventions effectively reduce stress in trainee psychologists, enhance wellbeing and cultivate clinical skills and competencies. This study explored how trainee school psychologists perceived the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on their development as psychologists. Forty trainee school psychologists participated in a 6-week online mindfulness-based intervention. They completed weekly written reflective journals throughout the programme which were later analysed using thematic analysis. Four core themes were identified: (1) changes in awareness and attention; (2) enhanced wellbeing; (3) commitment to ongoing personal practice and (4) cultivation and enhancement of professional development. Participants ( n = 24) who completed the mindfulness workshop during the COVID-19 pandemic indicated that mindfulness practice was particularly useful for managing uncertainty and other related stressors. It was concluded that practicing mindfulness supported trainee school psychologists’ personal and professional development, particularly related to compassion, resilience and therapeutic presence.
关于受训学校心理学家体验在线正念干预的定性研究
先前的研究表明,以正念为基础的干预有效地减轻了实习心理学家的压力,增强了他们的幸福感,培养了他们的临床技能和能力。本研究探讨了实习学校心理学家如何感知基于正念的干预对他们作为心理学家的发展的影响。40名实习学校心理学家参加了为期6周的在线正念干预。他们在整个项目期间每周完成书面的反思日志,这些日志后来用主题分析进行分析。确定了四个核心主题:(1)意识和注意力的变化;(2)幸福感增强;(3)致力于持续的个人实践;(4)培养和加强专业发展。在COVID-19大流行期间完成正念讲习班的参与者(n = 24)表示,正念练习对于管理不确定性和其他相关压力源特别有用。研究得出结论,练习正念有助于学校实习心理学家的个人和职业发展,特别是在同情心、适应力和治疗存在方面。
