ABSTRACT Family caregivers can be at risk for emotional, mental, and physical health problems. The purpose of this study was to determine if brief mindfulness training was effective in reducing stress levels of family caregivers and to compare the ways that this treatment is studied. Family caregivers (N = 12) were randomly assigned to 5 hours of mindfulness training either all in one day (“all day” treatment) or in weekly installments of 75 minutes over 4 weeks (“4-week” treatment). In both groups, family caregivers experienced increased mindfulness and stress reduction. Implications and recommendations for group leaders are offered in this article.

一项随机对照试验研究，比较了针对家庭照料者的基于正念的一天和四周的团体干预

摘要 家庭照顾者可能面临情绪、心理和身体健康问题的风险。本研究的目的是确定简短的正念训练是否能有效降低家庭照顾者的压力水平，并比较研究这种治疗的方法。家庭照顾者（N = 12）被随机分配到 5 小时的正念训练，要么全部在一天内（“全天”治疗），要么在 4 周内每周分期进行 75 分钟（“4 周”治疗）。在这两组中，家庭照顾者都经历了更多的正念和减压。本文提供了对组长的启示和建议。
