ABSTRACT

There is growing literature to support the use of hypnosis as an evidence-based behavioral medicine intervention to manage a wide variety of symptoms and side effects associated with cancer and its treatment (e.g., pain, nausea, fatigue). However, formal training in hypnosis is often lacking among cancer care providers. The purpose of this study is to identify common paraverbal errors among hypnosis trainees in order to inform future training efforts. In a sample of 196 hypnosis trainees, paraverbal errors (i.e., tone, pacing, and phrasing) were tracked across hypnotic intervention components. Results revealed that trainees had most difficulty with hypnotic tone, particularly during the Induction, Deepening, and Alerting components. Individual trainee characteristics were unrelated to paraverbal errors.

摘要

越来越多的文献支持使用催眠作为一种循证行为医学干预措施，以管理与癌症及其治疗相关的各种症状和副作用（例如，疼痛、恶心、疲劳）。然而，癌症护理人员往往缺乏正式的催眠培训。本研究的目的是确定催眠学员中常见的语言错误，以便为未来的培训工作提供信息。在 196 名催眠受训者的样本中，跨催眠干预组件跟踪了语言错误（即语气、步调和措辞）。结果显示，受训者最难使用催眠语气，尤其是在诱导、深化和提醒部分。个别受训者的特征与语言错误无关。
