Resumen

Gambling addiction may lead to stressful situations for the gambler and their proximal social environment. 33 close relatives of disordered gamblers volunteered to attend a self-help group; afterwards, they participated in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for 8 weeks. The participants' perceived stress was assessed before and after each treatment condition, and at 1-month, 3-months, and 6-months follow-ups. Participating in the self-help group did not significantly reduce the stress levels of pathological gamblers' relatives, whereas the MBSR training produced changes of great magnitude (2 = 0.88), decreasing stress levels from initially moderate scores to low values. Changes in stress levels were maintained at low levels throughout follow-ups, with participants reporting overall strong engagement with the practice of mindfulness. However, a decrease in practice (number of individuals practicing, frequency and time of exercises) was observed at 6-months follow-up, which suggest that including sessions to strengthen practice could be advisable. The MBSR program may be a useful protocol to reduce stress in pathological gamblers' families.

Este estudio contribuye, además, a visibilizar las dificultades de los familiares de jugadores patológicos que, de forma indirecta, también se ven envueltos en las consecuencias que esta problemática genera en varias áreas de funcionamiento, entre ellas la psicológica. Finalmente, el uso del programa REBAP para familiares y personas significativas de jugadores patológicos puede ser una aproximación novedosa a la intervención en un grupo de afectados por esta problemática que hasta el momento ha recibido una atención limitada y para la que existen escasos tratamientos específicos (Nayoski y Hodgins, 2016).
