The use of mindfulness as a tool to improve mental health has received increased attention. Schools provide ideal environments for short-term prevention and skill development for mental health. Further, teachers can promote and reinforce students’ daily use of mindfulness. This study explored the effects of a short-term group mindfulness-based intervention on the mental health of adolescents who have experienced trauma. A total of 49 high school students received a mindfulness-based intervention session followed by homework and teacher reinforcement. The results suggest that a short-term group intervention for mindfulness can potentially improve mindfulness attention awareness and reduce depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. As there was no control group, additional research examining the effectiveness of the intervention is essential.

利用学校环境对有创伤的日本青少年进行短期基于正念的团体干预的效果

使用正念作为改善心理健康的工具已受到越来越多的关注。学校为心理健康的短期预防和技能发展提供了理想的环境。此外，教师可以促进和加强学生对正念的日常使用。本研究探讨了短期团体正念干预对经历过创伤的青少年心理健康的影响。共有 49 名高中生接受了基于正念的干预课程，然后是家庭作业和教师强化课程。结果表明，正念的短期集体干预可以潜在地提高正念注意力意识并减少青少年的抑郁和焦虑症状。由于没有对照组，因此必须进行额外的研究来检查干预的有效性。
