Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) therapy combined with intensive education on the effectiveness of the care and the awareness rate in patients with diabetes and arthritis. METHODS: A total of 94 patients with diabetes and arthritis admitted to our hospital were recruited as the study cohort and randomly divided into two groups, with 47 patients in each group. Both groups underwent routine nursing interventions. The control group underwent an eight-week-long intensive education program, while the observation group was additionally cared for with MBSR for 8 weeks. The two groups were assessed using the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14), the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17), the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), the diabetes specificity quality of life scale (DSQL), and their cortisol levels and awareness/satisfaction rates. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSION: MBSR therapy combined with intensive education can improve patients' symptoms, reduce their anxiety/depression, improve their coping levels, quality of life, and cortisol levels as well as their satisfaction/awareness rates in diabetic patients with arthritis.
