Journal Title: International Journal of Emergency Mental Health and Human Resilience - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
For the last 10 years or more, mindfulness meditation based on Buddhist practice has been widely spreading in the medical field including psychology in Korea. Until now, if psychological programs based on mindfulness meditation have been applied, recently, attention has been focused on the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program combining mindfulness and self-compassion. There are a few people who have the qualifications and training to conduct this program. In this paper, we discuss our pilot study on a MSC Teacher Training Program developed. 51 participants (41 women, 10 men) were involved in this program. Qualitative thematic analysis confirmed 5 themes and 18 subthemes. Participants reported positive changes in cognition, emotion, professional work, spiritual area, and interpersonal areas after the program. The meaning and the mechanism of this program were discussed.
