Summary

This randomized controlled experimental study investigates the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based psychoeducation program on mindfulness, self-compassion, and forgiveness among individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric condition characterized by fluctuations in mood, energy, and functional capacity, often accompanied by emotional dysregulation, impaired insight, and challenges in interpersonal relationships. Psychosocial interventions that cultivate emotional awareness and adaptive coping may support recovery and enhance long-term functioning.

In this study, 40 clinically stable patients with bipolar disorder were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n=20) or a control group (n=20). The experimental group received a structured mindfulness-based psychoeducation program, while the control group received no additional intervention beyond usual care. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention assessments using a personal information form, the Mindfulness Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale.

Findings demonstrated that individuals who participated in the mindfulness-based psychoeducation program showed significantly greater improvements in mindfulness, self-compassion, and forgiveness compared with the control group. These results suggest that integrating mindfulness-based psychoeducation into routine care may promote emotional resilience, enhance illness insight, support symptom management, and strengthen interpersonal functioning in individuals with bipolar disorder.
