| Summary: | Background: To assess the mediator effect of dispositional mindfulness on the relationship between psychotic symptoms and psychological quality of life of people experiencing psychosis. Method: One hundred thirty-eight participants with psychosis were recruited. Psychotic symptoms were assessed through the PANSS scale, dispositional mindfulness was assessed using the MAAS questionnaire, and psychological quality of life was tapped with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Mediational analysis was performed setting PANSS factors as independent variables, MAAS scores as mediator, and WHOQOL-BREF Psychological as dependent variable. Results: MAAS scores mediated the relationship between WHOQOL-BREF Psychological scores and PANSS Positive (b = -.246, BCa CI [-.345, -.153]), PANSS Negative (b = -.173, BCa CI [-.251, -.096]), and PANSS Depressed scores (b = -.227, BCa CI [-.31, -.148]). Conclusions: Dispositional mindfulness can ameliorate the negative impact of hallucinations, delusions, negative symptoms, and depression feelings on psychological quality of life of people experiencing psychosis. |
