Mindfulness-based Intervention Improves The Physical Function Of Female Drug Abusers:The Mediating Role Of Selfcontrol

Drug abuse seriously threatens people's physical and mental health.The physical function of drug abusers is generally poor.There are many female drug abusers,and their health is lower than the average person.They would get more serious injuries than men.Based on the harm of drug,seeking effective methods to improve the physical function of drug abusers has received much attention.Mindfulness focuses on the awareness and acceptance of the present experience without judgment.Mindfulness-based intervention enables individuals to pay attention to the present moment by meditation and focusing on the breathe which can promote the perception of our state,and improve the physical function by adopting appropriate self-regulation and management methods.However,there are few studies exploring the effect of mindfulness-based intervention on the physical function of drug abusers.The relationship between them was neglected.To sum up,this study combined foreign mindfulness-based relapse prevention and mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention to revise the eight-week mindfulness-based intervention for domestic drug abusers.Then we explored the effect of mindfulness-based intervention on physical health and the mechanism between them.The results showed that after eight weeks,the mindfulness level and physical function of the female abusers in the intervention group were obviously higher than those in the control group.Mindfulness-based intervention can improve the physical function of female drug abusers,and the effect of mindfulness-based intervention on physical function were mediated by self-control.The results of this study suggested that mindfulness-based intervention has a good effect on female drug abusers.By non-judgmental awareness of the present,they can perceive their own physical state,then enhance self-control to adjust psychological behavior resources,and improve the level of physical function.The results of this study can provide an empirical basis for clarifying the relationship between mindfulness-based intervention and physical function of female drug abusers,and the internal mechanism of them.At the same time,the results also indicated that mindfulness-based intervention should be further popularized in compulsory drug rehabilitation centers to promote the physical health of drug abusers.
