- 소개/요약Mindfulness has been described as a non-elaborative, non-judgmental, present-centred awareness in which each thought, feeling, or sensation is acknowledged and accepted. The aim of the present study was to systematically search and synthesise qualitative evidence of cancer patients’ attitudes to mindfulness. A systematic review of qualitative evidence was conducted following the SPICE framework. All cancers were included. Medline, Cinahl, Science Direct, O-Alster and New Bank were searched from the first available year to August 2016 using the search terms; wellbeing, mindfulness, qualitative. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts; potentially relevant articles were retrieved and assessed independently by two reviewers. Data was extracted and quality assessed using Critical appraisal skills programme qualitative research checklist. In total 620 studies, conducted between 2005-2015 were identified with seven included in the final analysis. Thirteen themes were identified: Group identification/shared experience; acceptance; change; regaining and sustaining mindful control; personal growth; spirituality; acceptability/benefits; acceptability/challenges; spirit of openness and connectedness; improved communication and personal relationships; coping better with stress; anxiety and panic; making time and creating space and barriers to participation and recruitment. The current evidence supports the view that mindfulness is an effective intervention however more qualitative work is needed in this area.
