Abstract

Abstract: To explore the effect of mindfulness training on mindfulness awareness and inhibitory control ability of convalescent schizophrenic inpatients. A total of 54 convalescent schizophrenic inpatients in rehabilitation period were selected and randomly divided into two groups, mindfulness group and control group. Rehabilitation treatment was carried out on both groups. In addition, the mindfulness group received 8 weeks of mindfulness training. The results showed that: 1) The post-test score of mindfulness awareness in mindfulness group was significantly higher than that of pre-test, while there was no significant difference between the post-test and pre-test in the control group regarding the mindfulness awareness. The post-test score of mindfulness awareness in the mindfulness group was significantly higher than that in the control group. 2) The response time in Stroop task in the post-test was significantly shorter than that in the pre-test in the mindfulness group, while there was no significant difference in the response time in Stroop task between the post-test and pre-test in the control group. After the treatment, the response time in Stroop task in the mindfulness group was significantly shorter than that in the control group. In conclusion, mindfulness training can improve the mindfulness awareness and inhibitory control ability of the convalescent schizophrenic inpatients.

Key words: mindfulness training, convalescent schizophrenia, inhibitory control

摘要： 探究正念训练对康复期精神分裂症患者正念觉知水平和抑制控制能力的影响。选取54名康复期精神分裂症住院患者随机分为正念组和对照组。对照组予以常规康复治疗，正念组在常规康复治疗基础上进行8周正念训练。结果发现：（1）在正念觉知方面，正念组后测得分显著高于前测，对照组前后测得分无显著差异；正念组后测得分显著高于对照组。（2）在抑制控制方面，正念组后测Stroop任务反应时显著低于前测，对照组前后测反应时无显著差异；正念组后测反应时显著低于对照组。结果表明，正念训练有助于提高康复期精神分裂症患者正念觉知水平和改善其抑制控制能力。
