详细描述
MBSR for staff in inpatient psychiatric units
The challenges for staff working at an inpatient unit for psychotic people are many, and still more where the patients also have addiction problems. The patients are seriously ill and in need of extensive support and treatment. It is needed for the staff to be continuously aware and present, stand all kind of situations and hold out (contain) a lot of critique and threatening from the patients. Often they are too exhausted to take care of themselves and their own stress. The risk for burnout is high. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a mindfulness based 8-week course for stress reduction, known as MBSR course, given to all staff at an inpatient psychiatric ward influences the psychosocial atmosphere at the ward.
The design of the study is an intervention trial with repeated measures and control group. The intervention consists of 8 weekly group meetings where the participants learn different ways of practicing mindfulness; sitting, walking, yoga exercises,and body scan.They are asked to practice between the group-meetings and get a workbook and cds as support.
This is a prospective intervention study with control group and repeated measures over one year follow up. The focus is the interaction between unit and individuals.
To more closely study the specific effect of mindfulness practice the control group receive an active intervention which has similarities to mindfulness practice: workshops in affect - consciousness of same amount as the MBSR-course.
