RUIZ DE OCENDA ARMENTIA, Manuel Ignacio y PARDO DOMINGUEZ, Idoia. Implementation of a program to improve emotional well-being based on mindfulness in a rural population. Comunidad [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.3, pp.67-72. Epub 15-Ene-2024. ISSN 2339-7896. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/comunidad.250303.
Aim.
To improve the mental well-being of people who take part in the “Mindfulness-based Emotional Well-being Improvement Programme” developed in the town of Ribafrecha (La Rioja).
Methods.
An Emotional Well-Being Improvement Programme Based on Mindfulness was performed in Ribafrecha (La Rioja). This was completed by 100 out of the 780 people aged over 19 years old, residing in the town. The programme, based on MBCT (Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy), consists of eight weekly sessions in groups of about 12-16 people, followed by bi-monthly memory sessions and sending audios every 2 weeks to maintain what they have learned during the eight-week course.
Conclusions.
For the participants in the programme, this activity has led to improved management of stressful life situations. Moreover, it enables the family physician to have a warmer and more personal approach to situations of emotional distress reported by patients, which appeal to their own strengths that they have acquired during the course.
