Abstract
Objetivo: investigar os efeitos de uma intervenção baseadas em mindfulness nas funções neuropsicológicas de estudantes universitários saudáveis e correlacionar níveis de mindfulness, impulsividade e medidas cognitivas. Métodos: foram feitos dois estudos, baseline, no qual foram realizadas correlações entre as variáveis de mindfulness, impulsividade e medidas neuropsicológicas de 84 participantes sem terem sofrido nenhuma intervenção, e ensaio controlado e randomizado, no qual 51 participantes foram divididos aleatoriamente em um grupo de intervenção de mindfulness e um grupo controle passivo, e foram investigados efeitos da intervenção nas medidas neuropsicológicas. Resultados: fortes correlações entre níveis de mindfulness e impulsividade foram encontradas no estudo baseline, e foram encontradas associações importantes entre melhoras nas medidas cognitivas (atenção e memória) e a intervenção direta de mindfulness, sem serem intermediadas por outras variáveis. Conclusão: há evidências de forte correlação entre os constructos de mindfulness e impulsividade, e evidências de benefícios cognitivos associados a intervenção de mindfulness.
Objective: to investigate the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on the neuropsychological functions of healthy university students, and to investigate possible correlations between the levels of mindfulness, impulsivity, and cognitive measures. Methods: two studies were made. The baseline study had 84 students and investigated the correlations between the levels of mindfulness, impulsivity and cognitive measures without any interventions. The controlled and randomized study counted with 51 participants, divided between mindfulness intervention group and control group. The effects of the mindfulness intervention were investigated on the neuropsychological functions. Results: there were strong negative correlations between the levels of mindfulness and impulsivity on the baseline study, and important associations between the mindfulness intervention and better cognitive results on the controlled and randomized study. Conclusion: there are strong correlation evidences between the mindfulness and impulsivity constructs, and evidence of cognitive benefits associated with the mindfulness intervention.
