We also thought that the mind/body approach of a mindfulness intervention would be appropriate for, and acceptable to, Aboriginal people whose healing traditions incorporate aspects of mind, body, and spirit. Stress is known to be an integral part of life for commonly disadvantaged Aboriginal people and we hypothesized that, due to its known stress reduction effects, a mindfulness intervention could lead to health improvements for those with T2DM.
Stress is understood to play a role in both the development and maintenance of diabetes, which makes stress reduction an avenue for health improvement in these patients. Canada’s Aboriginal population experiences rates of T2DM that are 2.5 5.3 times higher than the non-Aboriginal population. more Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is recognized as a worldwide epidemic and the health concern is particularly problematic among indigenous populations. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is recognized as a worldwide epidemic and the health concern is p. Overall, the results indicate that the Aboriginal participants valued the lessons, practices, and perceived benefits of the program and they found the MBI culturally acceptable and suitable to their needs. Data obtained through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using the framework analytic approach and revealed several salient categories and subcategories under the main themes of factors related to participation, including motivating factors and barriers outcome, including perceived benefits and evaluations of the program and its practices and directions for future programs.
In this qualitative study, we set out to determine the acceptability, suitability, and perceived value of the MBI through the reported subjective experiences of these participants. Our previous quantitative investigation revealed both statistically and clinically significant health improvements in Aboriginal participants (N = 11) recruited from urban and rural centers in Manitoba, Canada. Previous research indicates that mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) can improve health outcomes for diabetes patients, and we hypothesized that the mind/body approach of MBIs would be appropriate for, and acceptable to, indigenous people whose healing traditions incorporate aspects of mind, body, and spirit. Stress is a factor in both the development and maintenance of T2DM, and stress is common in the lives of indigenous people.
