Efecto mediacional de la conciencia plena entre el tiempo de tratamiento en terapia dialéctica conductual y la desregulación emocional en personas con trastorno límite de personalidad de Lima Metropolitana
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex pathology that affects 2% of the world’s population. Mindfulness is a central skill within dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) that has scientific evidence to treat this diagnosis. This cross-sectional study aimed at analyzing the mediational effect of mindfulness between the time of the treatment in DBT and emotional dysregulation in people diagnosed with BPD aged between 18 and 50 from Lima Metropolitana. As a previous step, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) was adapted linguistically, and evidences of validity associated to the internal structure, the content and the relationship between other variables were obtained in a sample of 367 adults whose ages range between 18 and 50 years (M = 26.35, SD = 6.68, 61.8% women). Followed by this, 68 individuals diagnosed with BPD (M = 25.51, SD = 6.64, 82.35% women) were assessed using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Time of treatment in DBT was collected using a sociodemographic record. Mediational analysis couldn’t be processed, because the findings didn’t reveal a significant statistical correlation between the time of treatment and emotional dysregulation. However, a negative significant statistical association between emotional dysregulation and mindfulness was found, as well as a positive significant statistical association between time of treatment in DBT and the Non react facet (belonging to the FFMQ). Further experimental studies are needed to explore the possible variables that mediate the results of the treatment.
