MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 23 Mindfulness(FFMQ-SF) The time practicing mindfulness in hours (M= 8.25, SD=3.4 Min= 3.08, Max= 13.20) were satisfactory with an average of 12 minutes each day. The patients performed most frequently the body-scan and sitting meditation. The baseline measures of Mindfulness(FFMQ-SF) was not significantly different between the control and the intervention group on any of the five Mindfulness measures. The difference between baseline and follow-up was non-significant for the five Mindfulness measures. See Table 2. The inter- item-reliability at baseline was acceptable. The low number of participants should lead to caution in analyzing these results. See Table 3. Stress(PSS), Life Quality(DLQI) DLQI and PSS was significantly different on Follow-up compared to baseline for the intervention and control group. There was no significant difference among the groups at either baseline or follow-up. The control group had a slightly higher baseline for PSS, but not significant. Results should be analyzed with caution. See table 2. Clinical assessment(PASI) The intervention group PASI was at T0 ( M = 5.65, SD = 3.13), T1( M = 2.28, SD= 1.44), T2 (M = 0.85, SD = 0.6). The control group PASI resulted inT0 ( M = 4.12, SD = 2.21), T1 ( M = 2.5, SD = 1.7), T2( M = 1, SD = 0.6). PASI was nonsignificant in terms of the differences between intervention and the control (F(1) = 0.00, p = .943, 𝜂2 = .0). The light therapy had a significant difference on PASI (F (1) = 48.72, p = .001, 𝜂2 = .80) for both groups. The plot describes the overall effect of light therapy with the reduction of PASI. The tests of assumptions were made with Levenes test of variance, Mauchly's Test of Sphericity, and test of homogeneity. None of the test assumptions were violated. See figure 2.
