RESUMEN
Background Sleep quality is one of the important factors affecting soldiers’ task performance. Objective To explore the effects of mindful attention awareness, burnout, and occupational stress on sleep quality among soldiers in plateau areas. Methods A total of 1090 soldiers were selected from four units in plateau areas by cluster sampling method and were asked to participate a cross-sectional questionnaire survey using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI), Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediated effect test were conducted for the study. Results Of the 1090 soldiers recruited, 1082 soldiers returned valid questionnaires, and the valid recovery rate was 99.26%. The median (P25, P75) score of PSQI was 4.00 (2.00,7.00), the median score of OSI was 26.00 (17.00, 34.00), the median score of MBI-GS was 3.53 (3.13, 4.00), and the median score of MAAS was 71.00 (59.00, 82.00). The burnout and mindful attention awareness levels varied among military personnel of different age groups (P<0.05), so did the burnout and occupational stress levels among military personnel of different length of service groups (P<0.05), and the occupational stress, PSQI, burnout, and mindful attention awareness levels among military personnel with different educational backgrounds and genders (P<0.05). The results of mediated effect test showed that occupational stress and burnout had both a parallel mediated effect and a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality, with effect sizes of 15.3%, 21.5% and 31.8%, respectively. Conclusion There is a mediated effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality by the occupational stress and burnout of military personnel in plateau areas, and sleep quality is also affected by mindful attention awareness through the chain-mediated effect of occupational stress and burnout.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on mindfulness attention awareness, experiential avoidance, and cognitive fusion in individuals with general anxiety disorder(GAD).Methods:A total of 53 patients aged 18-60 years who met the GAD diagnostic criteria of DSM-5 were selected from the Seventh People's Hospital of Hangzhou from May 2021 to September 2022.After receiving routine treatment, patients were randomly assigned to two groups: MBCT group( n=26) for an 8-week mindfulness cognitive therapy and health education group( n=27) for an 8-week health education program. Participants were evaluated using the generalized anxiety disorder scale(GAD-7), acceptance and action questionnaire-2nd edition(AAQ-Ⅱ), cognitive fusion questionnaire(CFQ), and mindful attention awareness scale (MAAS) before and after the intervention.Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software, with the chi-square test, independent sample t-test, and paired sample t-test. Results:(1)There was no significant difference in MAAS score between the two groups before the intervention (42.63±10.18, 47.67±9.52, t=-1.55, P=0.13). However, after the intervention, the MAAS score in MBCT group was significantly higher than that in the health education group(54.42±9.87, 47.83±7.59, t=-2.27, P=0.03). (2) No significant difference was observed in CFQ score between the two groups before the intervention (57.11±15.97, 53.50±12.01, t=-0.77, P=0.45). However, after the intervention, the CFQ score in the MBCT group was significantly lower than that in the health education group(38.32±10.31, 47.11±10.66, t=-2.51, P<0.01). (3) There was no significant difference in AAQ-Ⅱ scores between the two groups before the intervention(33.79±7.90, 30.00±7.23, t=1.52, P=0.14). After the intervention, the AAQ-Ⅱ score in the MBCT group was significantly lower than that in the health education group(21.89±8.69, 30.22±8.68, t=-3.51, P<0.01) . Conclusion:MBCT has a positive effect on enhancing mindfulness attention awareness, reducing cognitive fusion, and mitigating experiential avoidance in GAD patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the factors influencing the quality of life in patients with Crohn′s disease (CD) and their correlation with readiness for hospital discharge and mindful attention awareness.Methods:From January 20, 2016 to May 20, 2021, 216 patients with CD hospitalized in the Department of Gastroenterology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao) were selected. Self-designed general information questionnaire, inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ), readiness for hospital discharge scale (RHDS), mindful attention awareness scale (MAAS), hospital anxiety and depression scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used to conduct questionnaire surveys in patients. Factors influencing the quality of life of CD patients were analyzed. Mann-Whitney U test and independent sample t test were used for the comparison between two groups; Kruskal-Wallis H test and one-way analysis of variance were used for comparison between multiple groups; Pearson analysis was used for correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression method was used for multivariate analysis. Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that the quality of life was poor in CD patients with spouse, primary school education or below, living in cities, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and severe activity. The total IBDQ scores were lower than those with no spouse, junior high school to senior high school and above, living in villages and towns, no sleep disorders, no anxiety, no depression, and in remission and mild to moderate activity (46.23±29.77 vs. 117.45±42.23; 11.00 (6.25, 30.75) vs. 79.00 (56.00, 113.00) and 114.00 (72.50, 157.50); 37.12±30.67 vs. 69.43±24.78 and 126.76±41.54; 42.67±23.18 vs. 124.58±36.52; 50.35±27.23 vs. 122.42±42.41; 51.97±37.29 vs. 113.96±44.18; 11.00 (6.75, 18.00) vs. 154.00 (135.50, 164.50), 97.00(79.00, 112.00) and 49.00(36.75, 62.25)), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-14.40, H=60.56, F=117.61, t=-20.17, -15.20 and -10.87, and H=148.98; all P<0.001). The results of correlation analysis showed that the RHDS score was positively correlated with the scores of each dimension and total scores of IBDQ ( r=0.646 to 0.781, all P<0.001); the MAAS score was positively correlated with the scores of each dimension and total scores of IBDQ ( r=0.331 to 0.382, all P<0.001). The results of multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that readiness for hospital discharge, level of mindful attention awareness, education level, place of residence, sleep disorders, whether with anxiety and disease activity were the influencing factors of the quality of life of CD patients ( t=4.19, 5.38, 2.36, 2.88, 2.85, 3.11 and -7.22, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The quality of life is poor in CD patients with primary school education or below, live in cities, sleep disorders, anxiety, severe activity, low readiness for hospital discharge and low level of mindful attention awareness. Doctors and nurses should pay attention to these patients and improve their quality of life.
RESUMEN
Resumen El presente estudio se planteó como objetivo analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario de Friburgo sobre Atención Plena (Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, FMI-14) en una muestra de adolescentes mexicanos. Participaron 655 alumnos de bachillerato de dos planteles educativos del occidente de México con un rango de edad de 15 a 19 años. Para analizar los datos se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial exploratorio y uno confirmatorio, hallándose un ajuste satisfactorio tanto para un modelo bifactorial como para uno unifactorial, con adecuadas propiedades de validez y confiabilidad. Los resultados muestran que el instrumento posee características adecuadas de validez y confiabilidad para ambos modelos (unifactorial y bifactorial), aunque se sugiere mejorar la confiabilidad de la escala de Presencia para futuros estudios.
Abstract This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, FMI-14 in a sample of 655 high school students from two educational establishments in western Mexico with an age range from 15 to 19 years. To analyze the data, an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was carried out, finding a satisfactory fit for both a two-factor and one-factor model, with adequate validity and reliability properties. These and other results are discussed in the context of contemporary literature on teenage Mindfulness.
