English abstract:

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） is a common chronic respiratory disease， and patients with COPD often experience substantially emotional difficulties， such as anxiety and depression， all of which may cause serious detriment to the prognosis of patients. As a non-pharmacological intervention in clinical practice， group mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy （MBSR） is beginning to emerge， while has rarely been studied in COPD patients with concurrent emotional difficulties.Objective To evaluate the effects of group MBSR on depression， state of mindfulness and pulmonary function in stable COPD patients， so as to provide references for the application of group MBSR in patients with COPD.Methods A total of 97 patients with stable COPD who were followed up in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Mianyang Third People's Hospital from January to October 2019 were selected as the study objects， and they were assigned into study group （n=50） and control group （n=47） by random number table method. All individuals received routine medication therapy and an 8-week health education， based on this， participants in study group partook an 8-week intervention comprising group MBSR. At the baseline， 4 weeks and 8 weeks of intervention， participants were assessed with Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）， Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire （FFMQ） and COPD Assessment Test （CAT）， as well as the pulmonary function testing.Results There were 41 patients in study group and 42 cases in control group completed the study. The group * time interaction was interpreted as significant between two groups for SDS， FFMQ and CAT scores （F=54.858， 86.161， 69.862， P<0.01）. Baseline SDS， FFMQ and CAT scores of the two groups yielded no statistical difference between two groups （F=0.240， 0.052， 0.019， P>0.05）， while study group scored lower on SDS and CAT （F=12.900， 38.511， 7.797， 28.824， P<0.01） and higher on FFMQ （F=27.324， 82.412， P<0.01） than those of the control group after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention. With the prolongation of intervention time in study group， participants demonstrated an overall reduction in SDS and CAT scores （F=109.753， 124.144， P<0.01）， and an increase in FFMQ scores （F=228.194， P<0.01）. There were no between-group differences in forced expiratory volume in one second as percentage of predicted volume （FEV1%pred） after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention （F=0.104， P=0.748）， and the within-group changes in FEV1%pred value over the intervention period in study group was not statistical （F=0.561， P=0.458）.Conclusion Group MBSR may help relieve depressive symptoms， enhance mindfulness level， and alleviate clinical symptoms in stable COPD patients， but has no effect on pulmonary function. ［Funded by Mianyang Health and Health Commission Scientific Research Project （number， 201916）］
