Objective ： The purpose of this study is to measure mindfulness in alcohol- dependent patients and examine its correlation with psychiatric symptoms, alcohol use. and personality traits.
Method ： We enrolled 180 alcohol-dependent patients (164males, 16 females) by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) criteria. This study was a crosssectional design, and used the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ), Symptom Checklist-90-Revision (SCL-90-R), Alcohol Use Inventory (AUI). And a Korean version of
the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (K-EPQ) as the self-reported questionnaires. The scores of these questionnaires were evaluated with Pearson Correlation Analysis in order to compare the relationship of mindfulness and psychiatric symptoms, alcohol use. and personality traits.
Results ： 1) The FFMQ sum score had a negative correlation with the SCL-90-R symptom scale. In particular, ‘somatization’, obsessive-compulsive’, ‘interpersonal sensitivity’, ‘depression’, ‘anxiety’, ‘hostility’, and ‘psychoticism’ were strong negative correlation with the FFMQ sum score. 2) The FFMQ sum score had a negative correlation
with the 2nd-level scale and 3rd-level scale of AUI (except for ‘ENHANCED’ of the 2nd-level scale). In particular, ‘DISRUPT2’, ‘ANXCONCN’, and ‘ANCINVOL’ were strong negative correlations with the FFMQ sum score. 3) The FFMQ sum score had a strong negative correlation with ‘psychotisim’, ‘neuroticism’, ‘addiction’, and ‘criminality’ of K-EPQ, whereas ‘extraversion-intraversion’ and, ‘lie’ of K-EPQ had strong positive correlation with the FFMQ sum score.
