  • 소개/요약This study examines the validity of the factor structure of the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. The first, focused attention, contained items representing a person's capacity to be easily distracted and differed from the second facet, which included the remaining “act with awareness” items reflecting a person's tendency to operate on auto‐pilot. This finding converges with cognitive psychological research in which awareness and attention are proposed as different mental processes (a person can be aware of a stimulus, but it may not have their full attention). One implication of this finding is that mindfulness interventions may need to target these distinct variables. Better understanding of the relationship between mindfulness skills and cancer‐related distress is needed, and well‐validated measurement is critical to achieve this. Further research validating the FFMQ structure in cancer populations will enable researchers and clinicians to confidently and accurately assess the mechanisms underpinning the effects of mindfulness interventions.
