  • 소개/요약Solid organ and stem cell transplant patients and their caregivers report a substantial level of distress. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction has been shown to alleviate distress associated with transplant, but there is limited experience in this population with other mindfulness-based interventions, or with combined transplant patient and caregiver interventions. We evaluated a novel, 6-week Mindfulness Based Resilience Training (MBRT) class for transplant patients and their caregivers that incorporates mindfulness practice, yoga, and neuroscience of stress and resilience. 31 heart, liver, kidney/pancreas, and stem cell transplant patients and 18 caregivers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona participated. Measures of stress, resilience, depression, anxiety, health-related quality of life, positive and negative affect, and sleep were completed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3 months post-intervention. At 6 weeks and 3 months, patients demonstrated significant (P<0.005) improvements from baseline in measures of perceived stress, depression, anxiety, and negative affect. Quality of life mental component (P=0.006) and positive affect (P=0.02) also improved at follow-up. Most participants adhered to the program, were satisfied with class length and frequency, and reported improved well-being as a result of the class. MBRT holds promise as an intervention to enhance resilience and manage stress for transplant patients and their caregivers. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
