UNASSIGNED: Participants were drawn from a randomized trial testing the effects of 5- versus 15-min daily meditation practice in a 4-week smartphone-delivered meditation training. Qualitative interviews on informal practice were conducted with 17 participants (mean age: 37.12 years; 82.35% female; 52.94% non-Latinx White) following the intervention. Given that prior knowledge on this topic is limited, inductive content analysis was utilized to characterize participants\' experiences in relation to implementing informal practice.
UNASSIGNED: Four overarching categories emerged from the data, namely (a) reported benefits of informal practice, (b) integration of informal practice, (c) perceived barriers to informal practice, and (d) recommended facilitators of informal practice.
UNASSIGNED: This study underscores the importance of addressing barriers and facilitators (e.g., providing personalized app features, reminders, social support, and repeating intervention content) to encourage individuals\' informal practice. Findings provide suggestions for methods to increase engagement in informal practice, which may, in turn, increase the accessibility and effectiveness of MedBIs.
UNASSIGNED: The larger trial from which the qualitative interview participants were drawn was preregistered through clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05229406) and the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/fszvj/?view_only=039b14ccbf8848bd99808c983070b635). The qualitative analyses reported here were not preregistered.
■参与者来自一项随机试验,该试验在为期4周的智能手机提供的冥想训练中测试了每天5分钟和15分钟的冥想练习的效果。干预后,对17名参与者(平均年龄:37.12岁;82.35%的女性;52.94%的非拉丁裔白人)进行了非正式实践的定性访谈。鉴于有关此主题的先验知识有限,归纳内容分析被用来描述参与者在实施非正式实践方面的经历。
■数据中出现了四个总体类别,即(A)报告的非正式做法的好处,(b)整合非正式做法,(c)对非正式实践的感知障碍,(d)建议非正式做法的促进者。
■这项研究强调了解决障碍和促进者的重要性(例如,提供个性化的应用程序功能,提醒,社会支持,和重复干预内容),以鼓励个人非正式实践。调查结果为增加非正式实践参与的方法提供了建议,可能,反过来,提高MedBI的可及性和有效性。
■通过clinicaltrials.gov(NCT05229406)和OpenScienceFramework(https://osf.io/fszvj/?view_only=039b14ccbf8848bd99808c983070b635)预先注册了定性访谈参与者。这里报告的定性分析没有预先登记。
