Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Main objectives are mindfulness capabilities such as, observation, describing,
performing with attention, not judging and non-reactive, self-compassion and
personal aims of the participants. Furthermore, the feasibility of the
Mindfulness training will be studied.
Secondary outcome
There are no secundary parameters
Background summary
Despite good medical health care, people with burns can be hampered by stress,
tensions, guilt feelings, anxiety, depression, and physical complaints such as
pain, fatigue, and itch on the long term. Also parents of children with burns
can continue to have post-traumatic stress symptoms and other psychological
problems long after the burn accident. At the moment there is not an evidence
based psychosocial group intervention for people with burns and for parents of
children with burns. Mindfulness trainings, who stimulate attention for the
present moment on a not-judging way, show positive effects on the quality of
life and well-being of people with diverse diseases, such as Multiple
Sclerosis, chronic pain, cancer, depression, and anxiety. It is not clear if a
Mindfulness training is feasible and effective for people with burns and
parents of children with burns.
Study objective
Aim of the study is exploring the feasibility and potential effect of a
Mindfulness training for people with burns and parents of children with burns.
Study design
This is a prospective observational design. There will be 4 measurement
moments: two times before the start of the training, directly after the
training, and three months after the training.
Intervention
A Mindfulness training includes 8 sessions of 2,5 hours, a practice day of 6
hours, in which meditation, yoga, attention for body, feelings, and emotions
are the most important ingredients. Participants will receive homework
exercises for 1 hour a day.
Study burden and risks
The Mindfulness training will take a session of 2,5 each week, one practice day
of 6 hours, and an 1 hour of practice each day at home. Furthermore, the
participants have to fill out questionnaires at four moments, one intake before
the training, and one interview by telephone after the training. The
Mindfulness training could lead to extra tension at the beginning of the
training, because participants have to pay attention to body sensations,
cognitions, and feelings. After a few sessions we expect that tensions will
decrease and that participants will benefit of this free Mindfulness training.
