- 소개/요약Mindfulness is the ability or practice of maintaining a non-judgmental state of heightened awareness of one's thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.1, 2 The last fifteen years have seen a surging interest in mindfulness as a therapeutic modality that may foster improved health outcomes for patients with chronic pain.3-10 Previous studies have found that higher levels of mindfulness in chronic pain patients were associated with lower self-reported pain7, 9, 11-13 and better pain coping perceptions.3, 14-20 In addition, a recent meta-analysis revealed that interventions promoting mindfulness significantly reduced pain intensity and pain disability in chronic pain patients.3 Mindfulness has recently been characterized as a multidimensional construct of five distinct facets: Observing, Describing, Acting with awareness, Non-judging, and Non-reacting. By analyzing mindfulness at the singular facet level, researchers attempt to further examine psychological mechanisms through which mindfulness specifically contributes to improved health.2, 14, 21 In chronic pain patients, however, only a few studies have utilized this multidimensional approach to assess mindfulness.22-24
