Abstract

Mindfulness-based interventions have recently been applied to grief-related distress. However, little is known about how bereaved participants experience them. This study explored bereaved parents’ experiences of a mindfulness-based grief retreat through semi-structured interviews with 19 participants. Interview transcripts were thematically analyzed to gain an understanding of how participants experienced the retreat and its perceived effect on their lives. Four themes representing the perceived benefits of the retreat emerged: psychoeducation, mindfulness, mutual support and understanding, and relationships. The mindfulness-based retreat was generally experienced as beneficial in coping with the death of a child.

摘要

基于正念的干预措施最近已应用于与悲伤相关的困扰。但是，对于丧亲者如何体验他们却知之甚少。这项研究通过对19名参与者的半结构化访谈，探讨了丧亲者父母基于正念的悲伤退缩的经历。对访谈记录进行了专题分析，以了解参与者如何体验这种静修方式及其对生活的影响。出现了四个代表务虚会的好处的主题：心理教育，正念，相互支持和理解以及人际关系。一般认为，以正念为基础的务虚会有助于应对儿童的死亡。
