The existing literature shows dance to be an innovative and successful form of stress management. Previous research indicates that Biodanza is able to increase well-being and personal resources and prevent stress. However, Biodanza has not yet been empirically tested as a possible therapy for application outside the clinical context in young adults with perceived stress.
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Biodanza in reducing symptoms of perceived stress and depression and in promoting sleep quality in young adults, comparing the changes with those observed in a control group.
Randomized controlled trial.
SETTINGS/LOCATION: This study was carried out at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Almería.
One hundred and twenty-one university students with perceived stress were randomly placed into either a Biodanza group or a wait-list control group.
Study participants attended Biodanza sessions for 90 min a week, over a period of 4 weeks.
Depression, perceived stress, and sleep quality were assessed both before and after intervention.
Ninety-five participants completed the program and were included in the statistical analysis. Significant differences in perceived stress [t (93) = 2.136; p = 0.015] and depression [t (93) = 2.738; p = 0.000] were observed after the Biodanza period. Pre/post analysis found that Biodanza also had a significant effect on depression (Cohen d = 1.88; p < 0.05) and perceived stress (Cohen d = 0.79; p < 0.05).
The Biodanza program is an effective stress management strategy for students. The results of this study showed Biodanza to have a positive effect on perceived stress and depression in young adults. This demonstrates how artistic, collaborative, and psychophysical interventions are an effective means of preventing and managing these problems in university students.
现有文献表明舞蹈是一种创新且成功的压力管理形式。先前的研究表明，生物舞蹈疗法（Biodanza）能够提升幸福感和个人资源，并预防压力。然而，生物舞蹈疗法尚未在有感知压力的年轻成年人的临床环境之外作为一种可能的治疗方法进行实证测试。
本研究旨在确定生物舞蹈疗法在减轻年轻成年人感知压力和抑郁症状以及促进睡眠质量方面的有效性，并将这些变化与对照组观察到的变化进行比较。
随机对照试验。
本研究在阿尔梅里亚大学健康科学学院进行。
121名有感知压力的大学生被随机分为生物舞蹈疗法组或候补对照组。
研究参与者每周参加90分钟的生物舞蹈疗法课程，为期4周。
在干预前后评估抑郁、感知压力和睡眠质量。
95名参与者完成了该项目并纳入统计分析。在生物舞蹈疗法课程结束后，观察到感知压力[t(93)=2.136；p=0.015]和抑郁[t(93)=2.738；p=0.000]有显著差异。前后分析发现，生物舞蹈疗法对抑郁（科恩d=1.88；p<0.05）和感知压力（科恩d=0.79；p<0.05）也有显著影响。
生物舞蹈疗法项目是一种有效的学生压力管理策略。本研究结果表明，生物舞蹈疗法对年轻成年人的感知压力和抑郁有积极影响。这表明艺术、协作和身心干预是预防和管理大学生这些问题的有效手段。
