A Qualitative Exploration into Experiences and Attitudes Regarding Psychosocial Challenges, Self-compassion, and Mindfulness in a Population of Adults with Cystic Fibrosis
Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings(2022)
摘要
To investigate the current psychosocial challenges faced by adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), while exploring attitudes and experiences of mindfulness and self-compassion. Mindfulness and self-compassion are important resources for supporting psychological and physical well-being, yet there is limited research exploring these positive psychology concepts in CF literature. Twenty UK domiciled adults with a diagnosis of CF, took part in a semi-structured interview. Using a thematic analysis approach, four themes were developed: (a) “I didn’t expect to be here”: Surpassing the CF life expectancy, (b) “Am I psychologically bringing this upon myself?”: Psychological complexities of CF, (c) “I’ve had to really learn to be kind to myself”: The importance of compassion and being self-compassionate, (d) “I think it’s a great tool”: The benefits of practising mindfulness. This research demonstrates a robust need for increased integration of accessible psychological practices into routine CF-care and self-care for adults with CF. Particularly, practises and interventions that draw on the concepts of mindfulness and self-compassion, which may benefit patient’s health and wellbeing profoundly.
