背景:工人的心理健康问题给日本的公司造成了巨大的损失。然而,由于时间限制,工人被认为获得心理支持的机会有限,这使得他们很难进行面对面的心理支持干预。
目的:这项研究旨在提出一项干预方案,该方案描述了一项随机对照试验,以检查智能手机应用程序提供的简短指导正念冥想(MM)或自我同情冥想(SCM)是否对工人的心理健康和与工作相关的结果有效。
方法:这是一个开放标签,3臂随机对照试验。参与者将通过相关网站的公开电话会议招募,纳入标准如下:(1)每周工作超过20小时的员工,(2)年龄在18至54岁之间,(3)没有请假,(4)不是企业主或学生,(5)目前未被诊断患有精神障碍,并且Kessler心理困扰量表-6评分低于13分。我们将包括200名参与者,并将他们随机分配到SCM课程(n=67),MM课程(n=67),和一个等待名单组(n=66)。将指示干预组(SCM和MM)进行日常指导自助,自我同情,MMs每天持续6-12分钟,超过4周。主要结果将包括心理困扰和工作表现,次要结果将包括躯体症状,认知灵活性,自尊,自我同情,感知压力,幸福,情绪调节,工作参与,愤怒,心理安全,和创造力。所有程序均由东京大学伦理委员会批准(22-326)。所有参与者将通过网站被告知研究,书面知情同意书将通过基于网络的表格收集。
结果:参与者的招募始于2022年12月,干预始于2023年1月。截至2023年9月,共有375名参与者注册。干预和数据收集于2023年10月下旬完成。
结论:这项研究将有助于开发有效的自我护理干预内容,从而改善心理健康,工作表现,和相关的结果,并在面对痛苦时促进正念和自我同情的态度。

BACKGROUND: Mental health problems among
workers cause enormous losses to companies in Japan. However,
workers have been considered to have limited access to psychological support because of time constraints, which makes it difficult for them to engage in face-to-face psychological support interventions.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to present an intervention protocol that describes a randomized controlled trial to examine whether brief guided mindfulness meditation (MM) or self-compassion meditation (SCM) provided by a smartphone app is effective for mental health and work-related outcomes among
workers.
METHODS: This is an open-label, 3-arm randomized controlled trial. The participants will be recruited through an open call on relevant websites with the following inclusion criteria: (1) employees who are working more than 20 hours per week, (2) between the ages of 18 and 54 years, (3) not on a leave of absence, (4) not business owners or students, and (5) not currently diagnosed with a mental disorder and have a Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-6 score below 13 points. We will include 200 participants and randomly assign them to an SCM course (n=67), an MM course (n=67), and a waitlist group (n=66). The intervention groups (SCM and MM) will be instructed to engage in daily guided self-help, self-compassion, and MMs lasting 6-12 minutes per day over 4 weeks. Primary outcomes will include psychological distress and job performance, and secondary outcomes will include somatic symptoms, cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, self-compassion, perceived stress, well-being, emotion regulation, work engagement, anger, psychological safety, and creativity. All procedures were approved by the ethics committee of the University of Tokyo (22-326). All participants will be informed of the study via the websites, and written informed consent will be collected via web-based forms.
RESULTS: The recruitment of participants began in December 2022, and the intervention began in January 2023. As of September 2023, a total of 375 participants have been enrolled. The intervention and data collection were completed in late October 2023.
CONCLUSIONS: This study will contribute to the development of effective self-care intervention content that will improve mental health, work performance, and related outcomes and promote mindful and self-compassionate attitudes when faced with distress.
