Abstract

Burn survivors, spouses, and parents of children with burns may experience psychological distress for a prolonged period. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an intervention that can improve psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an MBSR group intervention in a convenience sample. An MBSR group intervention was conducted for burn survivors (n = 8) and parents of children with burns (n = 9), each comprising eight sessions. The participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II-NL, PTSS Checklist DSM-5, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form, Self-Compassion Scale-Short form, and evaluation questions at baseline, immediately after, and three months post-intervention. All participants completed the intervention. The intervention was rated very useful (M = 8.8), and the participants were very satisfied (M = 8.8). The highest effect was observed in the parents’ group on mindfulness skills and self-compassion. For both groups, there was an increase in personal goal scores immediately after the intervention. Qualitative data show that the participants in both groups experienced more inner peace, more awareness of thoughts and emotions, and more self-compassion. This exploratory study suggests that a mindfulness intervention is feasible and can be effective in improving mindfulness skills and self-compassion, particularly in parents of children with burns.

正念对烧伤幸存者和烧伤儿童父母的可行性

烧伤幸存者、配偶和烧伤儿童的父母可能会经历长时间的心理困扰。正念减压(MBSR)是一种可以改善心理健康的干预方法。本研究旨在检验正念减压小组干预在方便样本中的有效性。对烧伤幸存者(n = 8)和烧伤儿童的父母(n = 9)进行正念减压疗法小组干预，每组包括8个疗程。受试者分别在干预后、干预后即刻和干预后3个月完成了贝克抑郁量表(ii - nl)、ptsd检查表(DSM-5)、正念五面问卷(短表)、自我同情量表(短表)和评估问卷。所有参与者都完成了干预。干预被评为非常有用(M = 8.8)，参与者非常满意(M = 8.8)。观察到，父母组在正念技能和自我同情方面的效果最高。对于两组，在干预后，个人目标得分立即增加。定性数据显示，两组参与者都经历了更多的内心平静，更多的思想和情绪意识，更多的自我同情。这项探索性研究表明，正念干预是可行的，可以有效地提高正念技能和自我同情，特别是对烧伤儿童的父母。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
