以慈悲冥想音檔介入提升健康保健專業人員自我慈悲之成效研究

Abstract

目標：慈悲倦怠乃健康保健專業人員常見的情況，不僅導致身心疲勞、情緒痛苦，也可能使病患照護品質下降。本研究旨在探討慈悲冥想音檔介入對健康保健專業人員提升自我慈悲之成效影響。方法：本研究採隨機分派實驗研究，招募自願參與研究之專職醫療專業人員。實驗組接受為期一個月的慈悲冥想音檔聆聽，平均五日提供10-13分鐘的慈悲冥想音檔，共有六支音檔。對照組則不予以任何介入。介入前後，兩組均填寫了臺灣版自我慈憫量表。結果：透過廣義估計方程式(GEE)進行前後測比較，結果顯示，慈悲冥想音檔的介入對提升自我慈悲具顯著成效。結論：本研究支持採用慈悲冥想音檔進行健康保健專業者的自我關懷及照顧，但若要達到整體自我慈悲的效果，在頻率與時間長度上，需更多的實驗研究佐證其效果。Objective: Compassion fatigue is a prevalent issue among healthcare professionals, often resulting in physical and mental exhaustion, emotional distress, and a decline in the quality of patient care. This study aimed to examine the effects of a compassion meditation audio intervention on self-compassion among healthcare professionals.Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted, recruiting healthcare professionals who voluntarily participated in the study. Participants in the experimental group received a one-month intervention consisting of six compassion meditation audio recordings, each lasting 10–13 minutes and delivered approximately every five days. The control group received no intervention. Both groups completed the Taiwan version of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) before and after the intervention.Results: Using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to analyze the pre- and post-intervention data, the results indicated that the compassion meditation audio intervention significantly improved levels of self-compassion in the experimental group compared to the control group.Conclusion: The findings support the use of compassion meditation audio recordings as a feasible and effective method for enhancing self-care and self-compassion among healthcare professionals. However, further empirical research is needed to determine the optimal frequency and duration required to achieve comprehensive improvements in self-compassion.
