Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of mindfulness behavior training on negative emotions and quality of life for the elderly with retirement syndrome. Methods A total of 89 elderly people with retirement syndrome was divided into experimental group (45 cases, regular exercise) and control group (44 cases, regular exercise + mindfulness behavior training) according to single blind random number table grouping method. The effect was evaluated by mindful attention awareness scale ( MAAS) , profile of mood states ( POMS) and SF-36 before and after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, there were no significant differences in scores of MAAS, POMS and SF-36 (P>0. 05). After the intervention, scores of MAAS, POMS and SF-36 were all higher than those before training (P<0. 05). The score of MAAS (59. 26 ± 9. 32) in experimental group was higher than that in control group (54. 32 ± 9. 44), (t=2. 48; P<0. 05); Scores of POMS in tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia and vigor-activity were (17. 84 ± 2. 36), (17. 10 ± 2. 24), (16. 20 ± 2. 81) and (27. 30 ± 2. 66) in the experimental group were better than those in the control group (21. 90 ± 2. 28), (20.20±3.42),(21.24±2.88),(21.43±3.20),(t =6.48,3.99,6.56and7.41; P<0.05); average scores of SF-36 in experimental group were higher than that in control group (P<0. 05). Scores of SF-36 were higher than those in control group except for the item of social function (P<0. 05). Conclusions Mindfulness behavior training can improve negative emotions and quality of life for the elderly with retirement syndrome.
