The present study examines the impact of Mindfulness intervention focused on emotions for outpatients with schizophrenia who were registered in Community Mental Health Centers and Psychosocial Rehabilitation Centers. Trait Meta-Mood Scale(TMMS), Berkeley Expressivity Questionnaire(BEQ), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(RSES), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS), Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale(SQLS-R4K), Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS) and Life Satisfaction Expectancy Scale(LSES) were used for measurements. Only BPRS for symptom evaluation was an objective scale, while the others were self-report measures. The Mindfulness program group received 8 weekly sessions of 90 minutes mindfulness training over 8 weeks, while control group received usual psychiatric care. The data analysis revealed that participants in experimental group(n=28) significantly improved on depression, symptoms and on quality of life which was measured by SQLS-R4K in comparison with those of control group(n=28). In conclusion, this study discussed helpfulness of Mindfulness intervention focused on emotions and suggested considerations for future studies and psychosocial rehabilitation programs for outpatients with schizophrenia.
