Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship of cognitive flexibility with perceived stress and life satisfaction in new recruits,construct a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention program,and investigate the impact of this program on cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction in the participants.Methods Cluster sampling was applied to select new recruits from a unit,and 965 participants were surveyed with questionnaires.The assessment instruments included Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS),Cognitive Flexibility Inventory(CFI),and Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS).Among them,61 new recruits were divided into a training group(n=31)and a control group(n=30).The training group received a mindfulness-based cognitive intervention for 6 weeks,and the control group only received mental health education every week.The training efficacy were evaluated with questionnaires and behavioral experiment(cued task-switching paradigm).Results ① Perceived stress was significantly negatively correlated with cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction(r=-0.78,P＜0.01;r=-0.64,P＜0.01),and cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction were positively correlated(r=0.59,P＜0.01);(2)The mediating effect was observed in cognitive flexibility between recruits'perceived stress affecting life satisfaction,with a mediating effect size of-0.12,accounting for 29.27％of the total effect;(3)After intervention,there were significant differences between the 2 groups of new recruits in terms of cognitive flexibility,life satisfaction,accuracy and reaction time in the cued task-switching paradigm,with those of the training group obviously better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The training group obtained notably improvements in above scores after intervention(P＜0.05),but no such changes were observed in the control group.Conclusion Mindfulness-based cognitive intervention can effectively improve cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction for new recruits.
