UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this research was to compare pre/post self-compassion for three interventions; Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction delivered in-person (IP), mindfulness meditation training delivered via a Virtual World (VW), and a wait-list Control Group (CG) among active duty and veteran U.S. military.
UNASSIGNED: A 2 (pre/post)×3 (group) factorial design was conducted with 250 active duty and veteran U.S. Military service members, with self-compassion measures as dependent variables.
UNASSIGNED: Self Compassion improved 10% for the IP group and 14% for the VW group, while the CG group did not improve. Combined treatment groups yielded a 10.3% improvement in self-compassion compared with no change in the CG and with a group×time interaction effect (p < 0.01). Participants with lower initial self-compassion experienced greater benefits than those with higher baseline self-compassion (p < 0.01).
UNASSIGNED: IP and VW Mindfulness Meditation training were equally effective in increasing self-compassion. Adding effective on-line mindfulness delivery will promote self-compassion among a more extensive audience, likely yielding improved coping, confidence, connectedness, cheerfulness, steadiness, and self-satisfaction, while lessening anxiety, fear-of-failure, and stress among participants.
■这项研究的目的是比较三种干预措施的前/后自我同情;基于正念的减压术(IP),通过虚拟世界(VW)提供正念冥想训练,以及现役军人和退伍军人中的候补控制小组(CG)。
■A2(前/后)×3(组)阶乘设计是由250名现役和退伍军人组成的,以自我同情措施为因变量。
■IP组的自我同情心提高了10%,大众组提高了14%,而CG组没有改善。联合治疗组的自我同情心改善了10.3%,而CG没有变化,并且具有组×时间交互作用(p<0.01)。初始自我同情较低的参与者比基线自我同情较高的参与者获得更大的益处(p<0.01)。
■IP和大众正念冥想训练在增加自我同情方面同样有效。添加有效的在线正念传递将促进更广泛的受众的自我同情,可能会产生更好的应对,信心,连通性,快乐,稳定,和自我满足,在减轻焦虑的同时,对失败的恐惧,参与者之间的压力。
