MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 15 from 1 (never or very rarely true) to 5 (very often or always true). FFMQ-SF scores ranges from 5-25(except for Observe 4-20). Higher scores are associated with greater degree of mindfulness. Low scores of Mindfulness is related with higher distress (Bohlmeijer, ten Klooster, Fledderus, Veehof, & Baer, 2011; Montgomery, Norman, Messenger, & Thompson, 2016). The instrument(FFMQ-SF) contains the following core characteristics of Mindfulness: Observe, Describe Actaware, Nonjudge and Nonreact. Baer et al.,2008 has combined the characteristics of several self-report measures of mindfulness into one instrument (Bohlmeijer et al., 2011). FFMQ has demonstrated acceptable internal reliability between the characteristics of Observe, Describe, Actaware, Nonreact, and Nonjudge. The author Baer et al., 2008 examined the construct validity through confirmatory factor analyses and by comparing FFMQ to measures of psychological symptoms, well-being, experiential avoidance and other personality factors (Baer et al., 2008; Bohlmeijer et al., 2011). Both the FFMQ and FFMQ-SF (short version) are reliable and valid for comparing FFMQ scores between meditators and non-meditators, in depressed adults and non-depressed (Baer et al., 2008; Montgomery et al., 2016). FFMQ has recently been used in psoriasis population (Montgomery et al., 2016). The outcome variables were FFMQ, PSS, PASI and DLQI. The expected results for the intervention group were larger FFMQ scores and reduced PSS. The decreased PSS for the intervention group was expected to lead to greater reduction in PASI and DLQI. The patients were invited to write a comment at the end of the study. Analysis The data was made anonymous with an ID code to SPSS file. SPSS 24 was used to analyze the material. Demographical variables were all tested with independent -sample t-test for any differences at baseline, and levenes test variance. Paired-sample t-test were performed to check differences between baseline and follow-up for PSS, DLQI, and FFMQ-SF. Independent T-test was conducted for PSS, DLQI, and FFMQ-SF to check differences at baseline and follow-up. We analyzed PASI with mixed ANOVA repeated measures. Assumptions of the mixed ANOVA repeated measures was checked with Levenes test of variance, Mauchly's Test of Sphericity, and test of homogeneity.PDF Image | Combining Mindfulness and Ultraviolet Phototherapy (UVB
