简要总结
Hypothesis:
Women affected by large-scale disasters who participate in an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program will experience significantly lower perceived stress levels compared to those in the control group without intervention.
详细描述
Objective
This study aims to describe the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSRP) administered in relation to post-disaster stress.
Material and Method: The present study was carried out by using a quasi-experimental design with 35 participants in the intervention group and 33 in the control group. Personal Information Form, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were employed in the data collection process. The women in the intervention group underwent an 8-week Mindfulness Stress Reduction Program. Data were collected through pretests and posttests.
Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Independent samples t-test and dependent samples t-test were utilized for the control and intervention groups. The relationship between continuous variables was analyzed by using Pearson Correlation analysis.

结局指标
主要结局
Primary Outcome Measure: Change in perceived stress level measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) from baseline to week 8
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0) - before the start of the intervention Post-intervention (Week 8) - immediately after completion of the 8-week MBSR program Follow-up (Week 12 or Week 16) - four to eight weeks after the intervention to assess maintenance of effects
Primary Outcome Title: Perceived Stress Level Description: The primary outcome will be the change in perceived stress levels from baseline to 8 weeks after the intervention. Measurement Tool: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), a validated 10-item self-report questionnaire that measures the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8) Scoring and Interpretation: Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress. A decrease in the mean PSS-10 score from baseline to week 8 in the intervention group compared to the control group will indicate a positive treatment effect. Type of Outcome: Continuous variable (mean score difference between groups)
