Meditation is widely used as a therapeutic measure because it can effectively reduce stress, pain, and improve the mental health, but there are many unclear points about the psychological effects of meditation.
The purpose of this study is to verify the psychological effects of meditation.
The short version of Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) were conducted to compare 97 Myanmar people practicing Vipassana contemplation training with 81 Myanmar nurses who did not have any experience with meditation.
The results of our study revealed that meditation mitigated depressive mood, anger, hostility, and fatigue and increased vigor. The enhancement of psychological flexibility occurred only after practicing meditation for more than a year.
It can be considered that meditation mitigates anger, hostility and fatigue and increases vigor at a relatively early stage after starting meditation practice, and if meditation practice is continued for more than a year, enhancement of psychological flexibility can also be expected.
冥想作为一种治疗手段被广泛应用，因为它能有效减轻压力、缓解疼痛并改善心理健康，但冥想的心理效应仍存在许多不明确之处。
本研究旨在验证冥想的心理效应。
采用简版情绪状态剖面图（POMS-SF）和接受与行动问卷第二版（AAQ-II），对97名进行内观禅修训练的缅甸人与81名无冥想经验的缅甸护士进行比较。
我们的研究结果显示，冥想可减轻抑郁情绪、愤怒、敌意和疲劳，并增强活力。心理灵活性的增强仅在冥想一年以上后出现。
可以认为，冥想在开始练习后的相对早期阶段就能减轻愤怒、敌意和疲劳并增强活力，若持续冥想一年以上，还可预期心理灵活性得到增强。
