Abstract

ABSTRACT Family caregivers can be at risk for emotional, mental, and physical health problems. The purpose of this study was to determine if brief mindfulness training was effective in reducing stress levels of family caregivers and to compare the ways that this treatment is studied. Family caregivers (N = 12) were randomly assigned to 5 hours of mindfulness training either all in one day (“all day” treatment) or in weekly installments of 75 minutes over 4 weeks (“4-week” treatment). In both groups, family caregivers experienced increased mindfulness and stress reduction. Implications and recommendations for group leaders are offered in this article.

一项随机对照先导研究，比较为期一天和四周的以正念为基础的家庭照顾者群体干预

家庭照顾者可能面临情绪、精神和身体健康问题的风险。本研究的目的是确定简短的正念训练是否能有效地减轻家庭照顾者的压力水平，并比较这种治疗方法的研究方式。家庭照顾者(N = 12)被随机分配到5小时的正念训练，要么在一天内全部进行(“全天”治疗)，要么在4周内每周进行75分钟的训练(“4周”治疗)。在两组中，家庭照顾者的注意力都有所增加，压力也有所减轻。本文提供了对小组领导的启示和建议。
