Abstract:
Introduction Our study aimed to compare meditation and compassion-based group therapy with the standard of care in patients with eating disorders, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and depression, concerning acceptance, mindfulness awareness, self-compassion, and psychological distress. Methods A controlled designed study was performed, comparing meditation and compassion-focused group therapy added to the standard of care with the standard of care alone, on patients with eating disorders, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and mood disorders. Four validated questionnaires were administered: the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), which assesses the ability to be fully in touch with the present moment; the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), which assesses the ability to experience consciously what is happening in the present moment; the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), which assesses self-compassion characteristics, including loving-kindness; and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), which measures psychological distress (anxiety, depression, psychotic behavior, etc.). Results There was a total of 75 subjects, out of which 48 represented the experimental group, and 27 represented the control group. The overall mean age of the subjects was 44.8 ± 13.2 years. There were statistically significant increases in the experimental group (baseline vs. end of study) for the AAQ-II, MAAS, and SCS scores, and a statistically significant decrease in the SCL-90 score. In the control group, there was a statistically significant decrease in the SCL-90 score, but no significant differences for other measurements. The comparisons between the two groups at the end of the study were as follows: AAQ-II: 0.7 (-5.74 to 7.15), p = 0.827; MAAS: 4.78 (-3.19 to 12.75), p = 0.233; SCS: 5.89 (-3.18 to 14.96), p = 0.199; SCL-90: -0.26 (-0.62 to 0.1), p = 0.157. Conclusion Within the experimental group, all scales improved statistically significantly. There were no statistically significant differences at the end of the study concerning the four scales between the groups. The comparison between groups was limited by data availability.
摘要:
介绍我们的研究旨在将冥想和基于同情心的团体治疗与饮食失调患者的护理标准进行比较,毒瘾,酒精成瘾,和抑郁症,关于接受,正念意识,自我同情,和心理困扰。方法采用设计对照研究,将冥想和以同情心为中心的团体疗法与单独的护理标准进行比较,饮食失调患者,毒瘾,酒精成瘾,和情绪障碍。进行了四份经过验证的问卷:接受和行动问卷-II(AAQ-II),评估与当前时刻完全接触的能力;正念注意意识量表(MAAS),它评估有意识地体验当下正在发生的事情的能力;自我同情量表(SCS),评估自我同情的特征,包括爱心;和症状清单-90(SCL-90),衡量心理困扰(焦虑,抑郁症,精神病行为,等。).结果共有75名受试者,其中48人代表实验组,和27代表对照组。受试者的总体平均年龄为44.8±13.2岁。实验组有统计学上的显着增加(基线与研究结束)用于AAQ-II,MAAS,和SCS分数,SCL-90评分有统计学意义的下降。在对照组中,SCL-90评分有统计学上的显著下降,但其他测量没有显著差异。在研究结束时,两组之间的比较如下:AAQ-II:0.7(-5.74至7.15),p=0.827;MAAS:4.78(-3.19至12.75),p=0.233;SCS:5.89(-3.18至14.96),p=0.199;SCL-90:-0.26(-0.62至0.1),p=0.157。结论实验组内,所有量表均有统计学显著改善。在研究结束时,两组之间的四个量表没有统计学上的显着差异。组间比较受数据可用性的限制。
