Nowadays,spinal cord injury(SCI)has become a relatively common lesion that can cause severe disability.In postoperative rehabilitation,spinal cord injury not only suffer the pain from medical treatment and physical therapy,but also feel helpless due to paralysis of the limbs.they misunderstand themselves and then the symptoms of anxiety appear.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in relieving anxiety in spinal cord injury patients.Taking spinal cord injury patients in a rehabilitation branch of a hospital in Nanjing as the research object and based on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy theory,this study combines the mindfulness cognitive therapy with the group work and developed a practical and feasible group plan:Mindfulness Intervention Program for Reducing Spinal Cord Injury Patients’ Anxiety Levels.The group intervention makes the comparison between pre-and post-test design of the control group and the experimental group and employs the Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS),in order to analyze the effect of the mindfulness intervention group on reducing anxiety levels in patients with spinal cord injury from a quantitative perspective.According to the statistical analysis,the study found that there is a significant difference between the pre-test scores and post-test scores,post-test scores and post-delay scores,pre-test scores and post-delay scores on the righteous awareness level,and anxiety level of the control group and the experimental group.The difference between scores of control group is more remarkable than that of experimental group.Thus,we can draw the conclusion that group intervention can effectively increase the righteous awareness level and self-acceptance level of patients with spinal cord injury as well as reduce their anxiety level.Specific performances are as below:(1)mindfulness training enables spinal cord injury patients to perceive themselves,calm their thoughts,release internal pressure,and comprehensively improve their physical and mental health,improve the level of mindfulness awareness and attention.(2)After the mindfulness training,the attitude of the patients with spinal cord injury in the mindfulness cognition group tends to be positive,they re-accept themselves in the interaction of the group members,then their the wrong self-cognition will be promoted and the negative emotions will be alleviated,thus the anxiety level should be reduced effectively.(3)The effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has certain continuity.
