Design and intervention: Before-and-after evaluation of web-based mindfulness trainingfor staff caring for people living with dementia in care homes. Stepped-wedge clusterrandomised design.Setting and participants: Random sample of 31 care homes for people living with dementia.Homes started mindfulness training at a random time over 35 weeks. From thesehomes 172 staff volunteered, 151 (88%) started training, and 111 (67%) completedquestionnaires after 20 weeks.Methods: Questionnaires completed at baseline, 8 and 20 weeks included job stress (WSI)and health and well-being (SF-12).Results: There were significant reductions in job stress of 0.07 (95% confidence interval[CI]: 0.02, 0.13) at 8 weeks and 0.06 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.11) at 20 weeks; and improvementsof 2.49 points (95% CI: 0.81, 4.17) in the SF-12 Mental Component Score at 8 weeksand 3.41 (95% CI: 1.88, 4.94) at 20 weeks.Conclusions: Web-based mindfulness training improved the psychological well-beingof care home staff and reduced their stress with small to moderate effects in both shortand medium term

为威尔士老年痴呆症护理院的工作人员开设的网络正念课程

设计与干预：对护理院中痴呆症患者的员工进行基于网络的正念培训的前后评估。阶梯式分组随机设计：31家痴呆症患者护理院的随机抽样。护理院在随机时间开始正念训练，为期35周。其中有 172 名员工自愿报名，151 人（88%）开始接受培训，111 人（67%）在 20 周后完成了问卷调查：方法：在基线、8 周和 20 周完成的问卷包括工作压力（WSI）和健康与幸福感（SF-12）：结果：工作压力在 8 周时明显降低了 0.07 分（95% 置信区间[CI]：0.02, 0.13），在 20 周时明显降低了 0.06 分（95% 置信区间：0.01, 0.11）；SF-12 心理成分得分在 8 周时提高了 2.49 分（95% 置信区间：0.81, 4.17），在 20 周时提高了 3.41 分（95% 置信区间：1.88, 4.94）：基于网络的正念培训改善了疗养院员工的心理健康并减轻了他们的压力，在短期和中期都有小到中等的效果。
