Abstract(s)
As intervenções baseadas em mindfulness (IBM) tem demonstrado um aumento de estudos realizados, bem como um grande interesse por parte da comunidade científica. Neste sentido, os resultados têm mostrado a sua efetividade no tratamento de diversos problemas tanto físicos como psicológicos e no aumento do bem-estar. Sendo os contextos de intervenção mindfulness diversificados, o contexto prisional tem demonstrado comprovados benefícios no aumento do bem-estar físico e psicológico dos reclusos. Neste sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo principal avaliar o impacto de um programa do tipo Redução de Stresse Baseado em Mindfulness (MBSR) em reclusos, testando a sua eficácia na diminuição de sintomas depressivos, ansiedade, stresse e afeto negativos, e no aumento de afetos positivos, autoestima, capacidade e estado mindfulness. A amostra foi constituída por 44 indivíduos do sexo masculino, a cumprir pena legal no Estabelecimento Prisional de Faro. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo experimental (N=22) que foi alvo de intervenção (programa MBSR adaptado), no qual participaram durante 20 semanas, em sessões com duração de aproximadamente 90 minutos, permanecendo o grupo de controlo (N=22) em lista de espera. Os resultados apontam diferenças significativas, entre os grupos, na variável autoestima, apresentando o grupo experimental uma média mais elevada. O grupo experimental, registou também diferenças significativas, entre os dois momentos, na capacidade mindfulness, acompanhado por um aumento das médias na capacidade de observar, descrever e não reagir. A análise qualitativa dos participantes aponta para uma avaliação positiva da utilidade do programa, tanto no dia-a-dia prisional, como no futuro em liberdade, destacando o sentimento de bem-estar e a capacidade em relaxar.
Mindfulness-based interventions have shown an increase interest in studies from the scientific community. In this sense, the results have shown the effectiveness in treating various physical and psychological problems and increasing well-being. As the contexts of mindfulness intervention are diverse, the prison context has shown positive benefits in prisoners physical and psychological well-being. In this sense, the objective of this study is to verify the impact of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on prisoners, which aims to decrease depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress and negative affect, and increase positive affects, self-esteem, and mindfulness capacity. The sample for data analysis consists of 44 male individuals, serving a legal penalty at the Faro Prison. Participants were divided into two groups, the experimental group (N = 22) being the target of an intervention of a mindfulness-based program, in which they participated for 20 weeks in sessions lasting approximately one and a half hours, remaining the group control (N = 22) on the waiting list. The results indicate significant differences between the groups, in the self-esteem variable, with the experimental group presenting a higher average. The experimental group also recorded significant differences between the two moments of study in mindfulness capacity, accompanied by an increase in averages in the ability to observe, describe and not react. The qualitative analysis points to a positive assessment of program participants, both in their day-to-day in prison and in the future in freedom, highlighting their sense of well-being and their ability to relax.
