Differential Effects of Two Contemplative Practice-based Programs for Health Care Professionals
2019
The aim of the study was testing the differential effectiveness of two interventions to improve Majorcan primary care professionals' quality of life: Mindful-Based Stress Reduction Training (MBSRT) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT). 50 professionals participated in the study; 81% were women. We evaluated mindfulness, empathy, self-compassion, and professional quality of life. Results showed statistically significant effects of the programs on the improvement of mindfulness, self-compassion, and professional quality of life, and differential effects on two dimensions of mindfulness, acting with awareness and non-reacting to inner experience, and on the dimension of burnout of the pro…

Exploring EEG recordings of Focused Attention Meditation with Fourier-ICA
2017
Meditaation harjoittamiseen liitetään usein useita terveyshyötyjä. Elektroenkefalografia (EEG)-menetelmällä on mahdollista seurata hermostossa meditaatioistunnon aikana tapahtuvia ajallisia muutoksia. Löydöt tällä alueella antaisivat lisää tietoa erityisesti meditaation aivovasteista, mutta myös yleisempää tietoa aivojen toiminnasta luonnollisissa olosuhteissa. Tässä tutkielmassa käytetään Fourier-ICA:ksi kutsuttua itsenäisten komponenttien analyysin muunnelmaa meditaatioistunnoista saatujen EEG-aineistojen analyysiin ja näytetään että itsenäisten komponenttien analyysiä voi käyttää muuhunkin kuin vain häiriöiden poistamiseen, mikä on sen tavallisin käyttötapaus EEG-tutkimuksissa. Erityises…
Negausīgas ēšanas saistība ar emociju regulāciju un apzinātību
2016
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas savstarpējas saistības pastāv starp negausīgas ēšanas, emociju regulācijas un apzinātības fenomeniem. Pētījumā piedalījās 106 respondenti. Lai noteiktu šīs saistības, tika pielietotas trīs aptaujas: Negausīgas ēšanas skala (The Binge Eating Scale); Emociju regulācijas aptauja (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire); Apzinātības piecu aspektu aptauja (Five Facet Mindfulness Scale). Veiktā pētījuma dati apstiprina, ka pastāv statistiski nozīmīga saistība starp negausīgas ēšanas tendenci un grūtībām emociju regulācijā, kā arī saistība starp augstu apzinātības līmeni un negausīgas ēšanas tieksmes trūkumu.
Apzinātības saistība ar perfekcionismu pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu mātēm
2019
Šī pētījuma mērķis bija atklāt vai pastāv sakarība starp apzinātību un perfekcionismu pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu mātēm. Kopumā pētījumā piedalījas 155 respondenti : pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu mātes vecumā no 21- 49 gadiem (M=34,62, SD= 5,49). Pētījumā tika izmantotas Apzinātības piecu aspektu aptauja un Frosta multidimensionālā perfekcionisma aptauja. Pētījuma uzdevums bija apkopot un analizēt jaunākos pētījumus no datu bāzēm, iepazīties ar zinātnisko literatūru, apkopot un analizēt pētījumā iegūtos rezultātus, kas tika darīts Microsoft Exel programmā un analizēts ar SPSS, 24 Version programmu. Pētījuma rezultāti uzrāda statistiski nozīmīgu, negatīvu, vērā ņemamu korelāciju (sakarību) starp apz…
Ansiedad de ejecución, atención plena, autocompasión, rendimiento y satisfacción académica en estudiantes de música de la Universidad Autónoma de San…
2015
La ansiedad de ejecución musical suele ser un problema significativo en los estudiantes de música universitarios. Esta ansiedad generada en el músico, ya sea profesional o estudiante, se ha explicado y tratado desde diversas perspectivas teóricas (farmacológica, conductual, cognitivo-conductual). Sin embargo, en este momento, ya se empieza a consolidar la perspectiva contemplativa que surge de las denominadas, en psicología clínica, terapias de tercera generación. En este estudio, nos hemos centrado en una de ellas, el mindfulness o atención plena –atención o conciencia deliberada en el momento presente y sin juzgar- y un constructo básico en ella: la autocompasión –relación con nosotros mi…
Cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness for stress and burnout : a waiting list controlled pilot study comparing treatments for parents of chil…
2018
Background Parents of children with chronic conditions often experience a crisis with serious mental health problems for themselves as a consequence. The healthcare focus is on the children; however, the parents often worry about their children's health and future but are seldom offered any counselling or guidance. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two group-based behavioural interventions on stress and burnout among parents of children with chronic conditions. Design, participants and setting After a waiting list control period (n = 28), parents were offered either a cognitive behavioural (CBT, n = 10) or a mindfulness program (MF, n = 9). Results Both inter…
Long-Term Efficacy of Psychosocial Treatments for Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Meta-Analytic Review
2018
Background: Recent evidence suggests that psychosocial treatments, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are effective interventions for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objective of this review was to determine the long-term efficacy of psychosocial interventions in improving clinically relevant variables, including ADHD core symptoms, clinical global impression (CGI), and global functioning. Methods: In total, nine randomized controlled trials and three uncontrolled single-group pretest-posttest studies were included. The data from these studies were combined using the inverse variance method. Heterogeneity and risk of bias were assessed. Subgroup anal…
Exploring the relationships between flow, mindfulness, & self-talk : a correlational study
2013
Flow (peak performance) and mindfulness (nonjudgemental present-moment awareness) appear to be conceptually closely related to one another (e.g., Gardner & Moore, 2004). Theoretically, self-talk can be reasoned to play a key role in influencing the afore mentioned constructs. The interconnectivity of these three key variables of interest is illustrated and explained in a proposed overarching theoretical framework. Therefore, the main purpose of the current correlational study was to explore the relationships between flow, mindfulness, and self-talk, at the dispositional level. 212 international participants with experience in competitive sports completed an on-line questionnaire comprising …
Decentering, Acceptance, and Non-Attachment : Challenging the Question "Is It Me?"
2021
Among mindfulness measures the three constructs acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment are psychometrically closely related, despite their apparent semantic differences. These three facets present robust psychometric features and can be considered core themes in most “third wave” clinical models. The aim of the present study was to explore the apparently different content domains (acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment) by administering various psychometric scales in a large sample of 608 volunteers. Resilience and depression were also assessed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses performed in two randomly selected subsamples showed a bifactor approximation. The explained…
