Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation on depression, anxiety, and quality of life in patients with severe Alopecia Areata (AA). Thirty AA outpatient individuals (14 men and 16 women, 25-43 years old) from four local Korean traditional medical clinics in Seoul, South Korea, were recruited for this through preliminary evaluation. All participants suffered from severe forms of AA for at least one year and did not respond well to conventional AA treatments. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The groups did not differ with respect to AA severity, depression, or anxiety. The first group received treatments as usual (TAU), which included Korean traditional medical treatment, such as Korean herbal medicine and acupuncture. The other group received both TAU and a Mindfulness Meditation program (TAU+MM). In addition to receiving TAU, the participants in the meditation group attended 8 weekly Mindfulness Meditation sessions lasting 60-70 minutes. Both groups completed the Beck Depression Inventory, State Trait Anxiety, and Quality of Life in Patients with Hair Disease (Hairdex) measures to assess the effectiveness of the Mindfulness Meditation program on psychological factors. We also examined whether psychological acceptance(AAQ-16) and mindfulness(MAAS) were related process variables. The data of 20 participants (10 in each group) were analyzed and the results revealed that the TAU+MM group showed significantly more change than the TAU-only group with respect to depression, anxiety, Quality of Life (i.e., total score, Emotion and Stigmatization subscales). These results demonstrated that the Mindfulness Meditation program is capable of reducing the negative psychological impact of AA on patients and improving the general quality of life of patients. Limitations and implications of the present study were also discussed, including areas of needed future research.
