“…It is reasonable to think that improvements in decentering may be specific to psychotherapy. Surprisingly, only few studies have addressed decentering changes, measured with EQ-Decentering, related to mindfulness interventions (Carmody, Baer, Lykins, & Olendzki, 2009, Fresco et al, 2007bTanay, Lotan, & Bernstein, 2012).…”

“…NAS scores were highly associated with decentering, rather than with FFMQ facets, both in the meditative and the nonmeditative samples. Decentering may be considered as a by-product of mindfulness practice (Tanay et al 2012) and a psychological quality that can also be enhanced through other psychotherapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (Teasdale et al 2002). It also seems to be fostered by life processes (such as aging and schooling; Soler et al 2014b).…”

Nonattachment is a Buddhism-rooted construct, which can be defined as the relative absence of fixation on ideas, images, or sensory objects, as well as an absence of internal pressure to get, hold, avoid, or change circumstances or experiences. The present study was aimed at exploring the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Nonattachment Scale (NAS) and at delimitating the relationship between the NAS and measures of mindfulness, decentering, and negative emotional symptoms. Pooling the NAS data from Spanish meditators (n = 335) and nonmeditators (n = 270), we performed an exploratory factor analysis and then estimated the fit of two competing models (one-factor model vs. one-factor model + method effects) via confirmatory factor analysis. Data analyses showed that the Spanish version of the NAS is unifactorial in nature and has excellent internal consistency. As expected, high (positive) significant correlations were found between NAS and mindfulness and decentering measures, as well as high significant (negative) relations between NAS and depression, anxiety, and stress scores. Positive relations were also observed between NAS and variables of meditation practice. Large differences among the meditative, nonmeditative, and clinical groups (n = 39 patients with borderline personality disorder) were observed regarding NAS scores. Scores on the NAS were significant predictors of negative emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety, and stress) and, especially, resilience. Furthermore, NAS provided a unique contribution in the regression models, going beyond mindfulness facets and decentering. In conclusion, the Spanish version of the NAS is a psychometrically sound instrument with a promising future in the field of mindfulness and meditation research and in clinical settings.

“…Pargancar et al (2015) in a study reported that stress reduction-based mindfulness program leads to reduction of heart pain (angina) and physical constraints due to heart pain (angina); it also leads to increased mental health, decreased stress and anxiety, and increased mindfulness (18). Tanay et al (2012) in a study reported that training mindfulness skills significantly reduces signs of vulnerability and anxiety statistically and clinically (19). Moreover, Motahari et al (2012) in their study found that mindfulness training significantly influences marital stress of the mothers with hyperactive children.…”

Background: Nursing is one of the stressful jobs and working in an intensive care unit is inherently stressful due to its active and dynamic features and complexity. One of the appropriate methods for decreasing stress is mindfulness training, therefore, this study aimed at assessing the effect of mindfulness training on nurses' job stress level. Methods: The present study was conducted in intensive care unit of Imam Hussein hospital (SA), a subspecialty hospital in Kermanshah in 2016. This was a pre-and posttest study with a control group in which 60 nurses were randomly and equally placed into 2 groups (control and experimental). Eight 90-minute mindfulness training sessions, one session per week, were provided to the experimental group. After the training sessions, the scale-revised questionnaire on nursing job stress was given to both control and experimental groups; and then, the effect of intervention was measured and compared between the 2 groups. Data analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistical tests using SPSS 16 software.
