Objectives : We assessed the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention in improving positive psychological resources in older people who were affected by the Jeju 4·3 incident.
Methods : This study included 25 older people recruited from the Jeju 4·3 Trauma Center. The intervention
was conducted on a once-a-week basis for six weeks. All participants completed self-report questionnaires, including the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form (FFMQ) and Positive Resources Test (POREST).
Results : This intervention significantly improved the total score and the nonreactivity, observing, acting
with awareness, describing, and nonjudging of inner experience FFMQ scores. The interventions also significantly improved the POREST subscale scores.
Conclusions : The mindfulness-based intervention significantly improved positive psychological resources in older people exposed to the Jeju 4·3 incident. (Anxiety and Mood 2023;19(2):94-99)
