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.
■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。
