Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Sailors undergo anxiety and sleep disturbances due to prolonged journeys and the nature of their work on ships. Earlier studies indicate Cyclic Meditation (CM) being beneficial for managing anxiety and improving sleep quality. Thus, the current study was designed to investigate the effect of CM on anxiety and sleep quality among sailors.
UNASSIGNED: Fifty sailors were assigned to experimental (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups. The experimental group received 45 min of CM, 7 days a week for 3 weeks. Control group continued with their routine activities and were offered CM practice the following 3 weeks. Hamilton Anxiety Scale for anxiety (HAM-A) and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep along with blood pressure and pulse rate were taken at baseline and by the end of 3 weeks. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (RM ANOVA) for within and between group effects.
UNASSIGNED: Significant differences were found between the groups following 3 weeks for all the variables. Experimental group demonstrated reduced anxiety (p < 0.001) and improved sleep (p < 0.001) along with improvements in blood pressure and pulse rate. The control group did not show any significant changes following 3 weeks.
UNASSIGNED: CM could be incorporated as a routine for sailors to manage their anxiety and improve sleep quality during the period on board ships.

摘要：
■由于长时间的旅程以及他们在船上的工作性质，水手们会感到焦虑和睡眠障碍。早期的研究表明，循环冥想（CM）有利于管理焦虑和改善睡眠质量。因此，本研究旨在调查CM对水手焦虑和睡眠质量的影响。
■将50名水手分配到实验组（n=25）和对照组（n=25）。实验组接受45minCM，每周7天，共3周。对照组继续进行常规活动，并在接下来的3周内进行CM练习。在基线和3周结束时，采用汉密尔顿焦虑量表（HAM-A）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）进行睡眠以及血压和脉搏率。使用重复测量方差分析(RMANOVA)分析组内和组间效应的数据。
■在3周后，两组之间的所有变量均存在显着差异。实验组显示出减少的焦虑（p<0.001）和改善的睡眠（p<0.001）以及血压和脉搏率的改善。对照组在3周后未显示任何显著变化。
■CM可以作为水手在船上期间管理焦虑和改善睡眠质量的例行公事。
