Abstract

V zadnjih letih v psihološki literaturi zasledimo vse več študij, vezanih na preverjanje učinkov intervencij čuječnosti. Prevladujejo predvsem takšne, ki nakazujejo učinke omenjenih intervencij na zmanjšanje ravni depresivnosti, stresa in anksioznosti. Študij, vezanih na preverjanje učinkov intervencij na subjektivno blagostanje, je manj, njihovi rezultati pa so nekonsistentni. Večina raziskav je izvedenih na kliničnih vzorcih, od katerih je le manjše število izvedenih na vzorcu oseb v pozni odraslosti. Namen magistrskega dela je preveriti učinke delavnic čuječnosti na spretnosti čuječnosti oseb v pozni odraslosti. Prav tako smo želeli preveriti učinke delavnic čuječnosti na posamezne spremenljivke psihičnega blagostanja - depresivnost, stres, anksioznost in subjektivno blagostanje. Naš končni vzorec je sestavljalo 24 udeležencev iz dveh domov za upokojence, s povprečno starostjo 79 let. Udeleženci so bili razdeljeni v eksperimentalno (N = 12) in kontrolno skupino (N = 12). Eksperimentalna skupina je bila deležna 7-tedenskih delavnic čuječnosti, medtem ko za kontrolno skupino ni bila predvidena nobena posebna aktivnost. Vsi udeleženci so teden pred pričetkom delavnic eksperimentalne skupine in teden po koncu, rešili predviden sklop vprašalnikov. Rezultati ANOVE za mešan načrt so pokazali statistično pomembno interakcijo čas x skupina za depresivnost, stres, anksioznost in čuječnost. Na osnovi tega smo potrdili učinke delavnic na merjene spremenljivke psihičnega blagostanja. Omenjenega nismo potrdili za subjektivno blagostanje, kjer pri negativnem afektu emocij in zadovoljstvu z življenjem, ni prišlo do statistično pomembne interakcije čas x skupina. Kljub določenim pomanjkljivostim (pasivna kontrolna skupina, majhen vzorec udeležencev), naša študija predstavlja dobro izhodišče za nadaljnje preučevanje učinkov intervencij na vzorcu zdravih starostnikov.

Secondary title: ǂThe ǂeffect of mindfulness-based workshops on well-being in older adults
Secondary abstract: In recent years it is possible to find more and more studies in psychological literature, based on testing the effects of mindfulness interventions. Among the prevailing ones are those which signal the effects of previously mentioned interventions on reducing levels of depression, stress and anxiety. Results of the study, based on testing the effects of interventions on the subjective's well-being, are not that many and have proven to be inconsistent as well. Most of the research is carried out by clinical samples, of which only a few are performed on the sample of older adults. The purpose of this master's thesis was to check the effects of mindfulness workshops on skills of mindfullness in older adults. We also wanted to research the effects of mindfulness workshops on individual variables of mental well-being - depression, stress, anxiety and the subjective's well-being. Our final sample consisted of 24 participants from two retirement homes with the average age being 79 years. The participants were divided into experimental (N = 12) and control group (N = 12). The experimental group participated in 7-weeks mindfulness workshops, meanwhile the control group did not have a special activity in plan. A week before the begining and a week after the end of workshops presumed for the experimental group, all participants were given complex questionnaires to fill in. The mixed-design ANOVA results have shown a statistically significant interaction time x group for depression, stress, anxiety and mindfulness. Based on this, we were able to confirm the effects of workshops on measuring the variable of mental well-being. Yet the aformentioned had not been confirmed for the subjective's well-being, where at the negative effect of emotions and satisfaction with life, statistically significant interaction time x group did not occur. Despite certain inadequacies (passive control group, small sample of participants), our study represents a valuable basis for further research of interventions' effects on the sample of older adults.
