MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 39 I don't think it's going on 6 weeks. Because I think a have to use half a year to be able to connect all the other thoughts than you have on your ears. For Sara, there was not enough time to practice in mindfulness, especially since stress reduction was already a new experience for her. Mindfulness Summarized. Informants and patients had in general a better well-being after doing the mindfulness practice. The sense of well-being differed among the patients, for some it was the sense of being calm, sleeping better, or becoming more conscious about own thoughts and feelings. Some related their experience in doing Yoga with this specific Mindfulness intervention. One practiced inside the light box during their body scan. Overall, motivation to take the time to practice was good and some had clear intentions to keep practicing after the study. Some had issues with being sleepy after doing the intervention. The intervention was a good supplement for light therapy by reducing perceived stress and increasing well-being. Discussion The aim of this pilot study was to: To develop a study design for assessing the effect of Mindfulness intervention combined with Ultraviolet Phototherapy(UVB) in patients with moderate- psoriasis. This pilot study had a significant reduction in perceived stress(PSS), severity (PASI) and improvement of life quality (DLQI) for both groups. There was no significant difference in baseline or follow-up between the intervention and control group for perceived stress, life quality (DLQI), severity (PASI), and the Mindfulness measure (FFMQ-SF). Mindfulness measures in the intervention group showed no significant difference between baseline and follow-up. Light therapy explained the effect size with 80 % between T0-T2 for severity(PASI). There was a non-significant tendency of lower PASI, whenever traveling to warmer climate during the last 3 months. Research has emphasized the importance of controlling for warm climates (Vedhara et al., 2007).
