2.4.2. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
By consulting each patient’s case, the intervener learned about the patient’s physical and mental condition, completed pre-class communication, gained trust, built confidence in rehabilitation, and established effective contact between the psychological counselor and the patient or caregiver. The intervener taught the first three courses and the pilot course on the second level of the rehabilitation hall. The remaining three lessons were implemented at the Tencent conference. The patient was required to finish the related homework after each class. The assigned task was to follow the audio and spend at least 20 min practicing mindfulness, six times weekly. Patients who participated in fewer than four sessions were considered to have withdrawn from the study.The MBSR intervention was led by a trained instructor who had obtained an MBSR certificate of completion and had over two years of background experience in MBSR. In addition, the patient’s treatment time (28 days) and physical impairment may also complicate the MBSR curriculum’s execution. This study abolished retreat days and adopted Gray’s Modified MBSR Curriculum, the adaptations of which were developed using the 2017 MBSR Authorized Curriculum Guide [
