dc.description.abstract	En los últimos años la intervención centrada en mindfulness ha cobrado atención en el área de los familiares de personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo (PDID). Además, el rasgo mindfulness ha sido relacionado con mayor bienestar, menores niveles de ansiedad y depresión y mejor calidad de vida en este colectivo. Por ello, disponer de herramien- tas que evalúen mindfulness en este grupo es relevante. El objetivo de este estudio fue la validación del Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire -Short Form (FFMQ-SF; Bohlmeijer, Ten Klooster, Fledderus, Veehof y Baer, 2011) en una muestra española de cuidadores. Doscientos sesenta y cinco familiares de PDID (84.5% mujeres y 15.5 % hombres) con edades com- prendidas entre 18 y 80 años participaron en esta investigación, comple- tando el FFMQ-SF junto con medidas de malestar psicológico y calidad de vida. Los resultados confirmaron la estructura factorial del FFMQ-SF con- sistente en cinco facetas (Observar, Describir, Actuar consciente, No reac- cionar y No juzgar) y mostraron consistencia interna adecuada. Se observa- ron relaciones significativas entre la mayoría de las facetas de mindfulness y menor malestar psicológico así como mejor calidad de vida. Los resultados sugieren que el FFMQ-SF puede ser utilizado adecuadamente con familia- res de PDID.	es
dc.description.abstract	n recent years, mindfulness-focused interventions have gar- nered attention in the area of family members of people with an intellectu- al and developmental disability (IDD). The mindfulness trait has been re- lated to a greater well-being, lower levels of anxiety and depression and a better quality of life in this group. Therefore, developing tools that assess mindfulness is relevant. The aim of this study was to adapt the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form (FFMQ-SF; Bohlmeijer, ten Klooster, Fledderus, Veehof, & Baer, 2011) to Spanish caregivers of peo- ple with IDD. Two hundred sixty-five relatives of people with IDD (84.5% women and 15.5 % men) aged between 18 and 80 years participat- ed in the research, completing this questionnaire along with measures of psychological distress and quality of life. The results confirmed the factor structure of the FFMQ-SF, consisting of five correlated factors (Observe, Describe, Act with awareness, Nonreact to inner experience, and Non- judge inner experience). The factors showed adequate internal consistency. In addition, significant relationships were observed between the most of the mindfulness facets and less psychological distress as well as with better quality of life. The results suggest that the FFMQ-SF can be used ade- quately with relatives of people with IDD.	es
