ABSTRACT

Objectives

To review current quantitative and qualitative evidence on the physical and mental health outcomes and participant experiences following mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for couples over the age of 65.

Methods

The search strategy used PubMed; Web of Science; PsycInfo; The Dementia Evidence Toolkit; NIH RePORTER; NIH Clinical Trials.gov and Scopus databases and followed the JBI framework.

Results

Four studies were included, of these, three were described as patient-carer dyads. Overall, the studies suggested that standardized, eight-week mindfulness interventions may be feasible for older adult independent couples and caregiving dyads, including people with cognitive decline, but the available evidence should be considered with caution.

Conclusions

Further high-quality studies investigating specific older adult dyads with sensitive and appropriate outcome measures are needed.

Clinical Implications

Whilst older adult mindfulness groups delivered to couples are feasible, conclusions about the effects of mindfulness on older adult caregiving and/or romantic couples are impossible to establish.

基于正念的干预对晚年夫妻的影响。混合方法系统评价

摘要

目标

回顾当前关于 65 岁以上夫妇在基于正念的干预 (MBI) 后身心健康结果和参与者体验的定量和定性证据。

方法

搜索策略使用 PubMed；科学网；心理信息；痴呆症证据工具包；美国国立卫生研究院记者；NIH Clinical Trials.gov 和 Scopus 数据库并遵循 JBI 框架。

结果

包括四项研究，其中三项被描述为患者-护理人员二元组。总的来说，这些研究表明，标准化的、为期八周的正念干预对于年长的成年独立夫妇和照顾夫妻（包括认知能力下降的人）可能是可行的，但应谨慎考虑现有证据。

结论

需要进一步的高质量研究来调查具有敏感和适当结果测量的特定老年人二元组。

临床意义

虽然向夫妻提供的老年人正念小组是可行的，但不可能得出关于正念对老年人照料和/或浪漫夫妻的影响的结论。
