Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the essence of the lived experiences of palliative care professionals in cultivating mindfulness, with a focus on the meaning of mindfulness in their lives and how mindfulness is experienced throughout their process of caring for others. Design: This was a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. Methods: Eleven palliative care professionals (three physicians, four nurses, three psychologists, and one spiritual care provider) partook in in-depth interviews. Data were collected from the in-depth interviews and analyzed according to the method of Giorgi. Findings: Two major themes emerged from this study. First, the palliative care professionals realized the need for self-care amid emotional burden, including recognizing their feelings of guilt and self-doubt, emotional contagion of grief, reflections of others' fragility on themself, and their self-imposed limitations. Second, they noticed the transformative impact of mindfulness on them, including detecting reconnection with their body, changes in their personal values, self-acceptance, and liberation. Conclusion: Palliative care professionals can cultivate self-acceptance and facilitate entirely new life experiences through the practice of mindfulness. For them, mindfulness is not merely a self-regulation technique but an existential epiphany, offering hope for self-care and empowerment.

姑息关怀专业人员在培养正念过程中的生活体验:现象学研究。
目的:本研究旨在探索姑息关怀专业人员在培养正念过程中的生活体验的本质,重点是正念在他们生活中的意义,以及他们在关怀他人的整个过程中是如何体验到正念的。设计:这是一项采用现象学方法的定性研究。方法11 名姑息关怀专业人员(3 名医生、4 名护士、3 名心理学家和 1 名心灵关怀提供者)参加了深度访谈。从深度访谈中收集数据,并按照乔吉的方法进行分析。研究结果本研究提出了两大主题。首先,姑息关怀专业人员意识到在情绪负担中自我关怀的必要性,包括认识到自己的内疚感和自我怀疑、悲伤情绪的传染、他人对自己脆弱的反思以及自我设限。其次,他们注意到正念对他们产生的变革性影响,包括发现与身体的重新连接、个人价值观的改变、自我接纳和解放。结论:姑息关怀专业人员可以通过正念练习培养自我接纳,并促进全新的生命体验。对他们来说,正念不仅仅是一种自我调节技巧,更是一种存在主义的顿悟,为自我关怀和赋权提供了希望。

期刊介绍: Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
