This eight-week study examined the feasibility of offering weekly classes in Integrative Restoration (iRest), a form of mindfulness meditation, to military combat veterans at a community mental health agency in the San Francisco Bay Area. Participants were 16 male combat veterans (15 Vietnam War and 1 Iraq War) of mixed ethnicity, aged 41 to 66 years, suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The 11 participants who completed the study reported reduced rage, anxiety, and emotional reactivity, and increased feelings of relaxation, peace, self-awareness, and self-efficacy, despite challenges with mental focus, intrusive memories, and other concerns. All participants reported they would have attended ongoing iRest classes at the agency approximately once per week.
这项为期八周的研究考察了在旧金山湾区的一家社区心理健康机构为退伍军人提供每周一次综合修复疗法（iRest，一种正念冥想形式）课程的可行性。参与者为16名男性退伍军人（15名越战退伍军人和1名伊拉克战争退伍军人），种族混合，年龄在41至66岁之间，患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。完成研究的11名参与者报告称，尽管在注意力集中、侵扰性记忆及其他方面存在问题，但他们的愤怒、焦虑和情绪反应有所减少，而放松感、平和感、自我意识和自我效能感有所增强。所有参与者均表示他们愿意在该机构继续参加iRest课程，频率约为每周一次。
