The Impact of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy Intervention on Mindfulness Thinking,Perceived Stress,and Sleep Quality in Middle-aged and Elderly Patients at an Internet Hospital in Guangzhou
Objective:To investigate the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy(MBCT)intervention on mindfulness thinking,perceived stress,and sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly patients at an internet hospital in Guangzhou,so as to pro-vide reference for improving sleep quality of middle-aged and elderly people.Methods:From June to August 2023,136 middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing sleep management at an internet hospital in Guangzhou were randomly assigned to either an experimental group(68 patients)or a control group(68 patients).The control group received routine health education,while the experimental group underwent MBCT in addition to health education.The differences in mindfulness thinking,perceived stress,and sleep quality between the two groups before and after the intervention were compared.Results:After the intervention,the experi-mental group showed a significant improvement in mindfulness thinking compared to pre-intervention levels(P<0.05).Perceived stress significantly decreased in the experimental group post-intervention(P<0.001),but no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups(P>0.05).Sleep quality in the experimental group was improved significantly compared to both pre-intervention levels(P<0.05)and the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion:MBCT can enhance mindfulness thinking,re-duce perceived stress,and improve sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly patients.It is recommended that MBCT be further pro-moted,with increased training efforts to help more middle-aged and elderly patients with sleep management needs.
