Psychological inflexibility explains distress in parents whose children have chronic conditions
2018
Experiential avoidance, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness have all been associated with psychological disorders and well-being. This study investigates whether they predict psychological distress, i.e., symptoms of burnout, depression, stress and anxiety, in parents of children with chronic conditions. We hypothesized that these factors would exhibit a large degree of common variance, and that when compared to mindfulness and defusion, experiential avoidance on its own would predict a larger proportion of unique variance. 75 parents of children with chronic conditions having burnout symptoms who participated in an intervention study completed measures of burnout, stress, anxiety, depressi…
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…
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…
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 …
The Profiles of Body Image Associate With Changes in Depression Among Participants in Dance Movement Therapy Group
2020
This mixed-methods study analyzed the body image quality of 143 patients with depression. The participants received a 20 × 75 min dance movement therapy (DMT) group treatment, sessions twice a week. Body Image Assessment (BIA) was the data collection tool, with pre-, post-, and 3-mos follow-up assessments. Pre-intervention body image quality characteristics were low energy and activity levels, discomfort, shame and disgust toward the body, tension in social interactions. On the BIA scores, a statistical method of Latent Profile Analysis was utilized to identify participant profiles in the data. The two identified profiles were participant with initial negative body image and participant wit…
Dance movement therapy for depressed clients : Profiles of the level and changes in depression
2021
This research identified participant profiles in level and changes in depression among working age (18–64 years old) clients (N = 137) diagnosed with depression, who participated in a 20-session dance movement therapy (DMT) intervention. Using Latent Profile Analysis Mild, sharply reducing depression (9%), Mild, reducing depression (58%) and Severe, reducing depression (33%) profiles were established, using Beck Depression Inventory scores gathered at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up points. At the pre-intervention point, being in full-time work was related to the Mild, sharply reducing depression profile. Being on a disability pension, having a history of one's own or a c…
Change in body image among depressed adult outpatients after a dance movement therapy group treatment
2018
This study reports on the body image of depressed psychiatric outpatients, and the impact thereon of a dance movement therapy (DMT) group. Body image is perceived as a tri-partite construct consisting of image-properties, body-self, and body memory. Depressed patients in an outpatient mental health service participated in a DMT group treatment consisting of twelve 90-min long sessions in groups of 4–7 patients. Patients (N = 18) responded to a structured Body Image Assessment (BIA) before and after the treatment. Initially, the depressed patients’ body image was characterized by fragmentation, distortions, and shallowness of body awareness. The DMT group treatment aimed to offer the patient…
Behavioral and psychological flexibility in eating regulation among overweight adults
2016
Weight-loss programs are often based on self-control techniques and they commonly fail in long-term weight management. Identifying psychological processes that explain eating behaviors can help to develop more effective interventions for long-term weight management. This research examined how behavioral and psychological flexibility are related to eating regulation and weight management in overweight adults. The first goal was to study the effects of flexible vs. rigid restraint of eating on weight-loss maintenance and well-being. The second goal was to examine whether psychological flexibility and mindfulness, independently and together, explain intuitive eating regulation. The third goal …
Mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisen intervention vaikutukset työn imuun ja sen ulottuvuuksiin sekä psykologinen joustavuus välittävänä tekijänä
2016
Mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisten interventioiden käytöstä on saatu lupaavia tuloksia työhyvinvoinnin parantamisessa, mutta työn imun yhteydessä niitä ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia mindfulness-, hyväksyntä- ja arvopohjaisen (MIHA) -intervention vaikuttavuutta työn imuun ja erikseen sen kolmeen ulottuvuuteen, tarmokkuuteen, omistautumiseen ja uppoutumiseen, sekä psykologiseen joustavuuteen. Lisäksi selvitettiin, välittääkö psykologisen joustavuuden muutos mahdollisia intervention aikaisia muutoksia tarmokkuudessa, omistautumisessa tai uppoutumisessa. Tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston Muupu-tutkimushanketta. Tämän tutkimuksen tutkimusjoukk…
