Analysis of the Efficacy of Mindfulness Meditation in a Mutual Aid Group for Bipolar Disorder

Background: The bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe, disabling mental disorder characterized by phases of mania, hypomania, or depression. The present quasi-experimental study of 21 BD patients (Mage = 44 years, SD = 11.45, 6% women) compared the efficacy of a mutual aid group (MAG) with a MAG that fo...

The present quasi-experimental study of 21 BD patients (Mage = 44 years, SD = 11.45, 6% women) compared the efficacy of a mutual aid group (MAG) with a MAG that followed a mindfulness-based intervention (MAG+M) over 6 weeks. Method: Both groups were evaluated pre-test and post-test with the following variables: depression, mania, anxiety, mindfulness, and psychological acceptance. Results: Pretest and post-test intragroup analyses showed that MAG+M improved significantly in measures of depression (z = -2.31, p = .02) and trait anxiety (z = -2.43, p = .01), while MAG did not improve in any of the measures. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in the post-test. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may improve symptoms of depression and anxiety in a MAG for BD patientsAntecedentes: El trastorno bipolar (TB) es un trastorno mental grave e incapacitante caracterizado por la presencia de fases de manía, hipomanía o depresión. Este estudio cuasi-experimental con 21 pacientes con TB (Medad = 44 años, DT = 11.45, 6% mujeres) compara la eficacia de un grupo de ayuda mutua simple (GAM) con otro grupo de ayuda mutua que siguió una intervención con mindfulness (GAM+M) durante seis semanas. Método: Ambos grupos fueron evaluados pretest y post test con las siguientes variables: depresión, manía, ansiedad, mindfulness y aceptación psicológica. Resultados: Los análisis intragrupo pretest-postest mostraron que GAM+M mejoró significativamente en las medidas de depresión (z = -2.31, p = .02) y ansiedad rasgo (z = -2.43, p = .01), mientras que el GAM simple no mejoró en ninguna de las medidas evaluadas. No obstante, no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos en el post-test. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos sugieren un papel potencial de la inclusión de la meditación mindfulness en los GAM de pacientes con TB para mejorar los síntomas de depresión y ansiedad.2024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12412/6189reponame:Brújulainstname:Universidad Loyola AndalucíaIngléshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.uloyola.es:20.500.12412/61892026-06-24T12:48:37Z
