Assessment of the impact of Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on depression-anxiety-stress symptoms, sense of coherence, health-related quality of life and well-being in long-term unemployed people with anxiety disorders.
An intervention study was conducted at a relevant Organization, in Athens, Greece.
50 long-term unemployed individuals suffering from anxiety disorders participated in the study. Participants were separated into two groups: (a) the intervention group (30 individuals) that was trained on an 8-week on Progressive Muscle Relaxation program and also received counseling services and (b) the control group (20 individuals) that received only counseling services.
Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale, Sense of Coherence, Health-Related Quality of Life and Well-being were evaluated at baseline and after the intervention.
Significant changes were noted in the studied variables between the two groups, with improved outcomes in the intervention group. The intervention group showed a decrease in the symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress (p < 0.001) [depression (p < 0.001), anxiety (p < 0.001), stress (p < 0.001)], a higher score of sense of coherence (p < 0.001), improved health-related quality of life regarding the mental health domain (p < 0.001), and improvement in well-being (p < 0.001). No significant change was observed in the control group during the follow-up period.
评估雅各布森渐进性肌肉松弛法（PMR）对患有焦虑症的长期失业者的抑郁-焦虑-压力症状、连贯感、健康相关生活质量和幸福感的影响。
在希腊雅典的一个相关组织进行了一项干预研究。
50名患有焦虑症的长期失业者参与了该研究。参与者被分为两组：（a）干预组（30人），接受了为期8周的渐进性肌肉松弛训练，并接受了咨询服务；（b）对照组（20人），仅接受咨询服务。
在基线和干预后评估抑郁、焦虑、压力量表、连贯感、健康相关生活质量和幸福感。
两组之间在研究变量上有显著变化，干预组的结果有所改善。干预组的抑郁、焦虑、压力症状有所减轻（p<0.001）[抑郁（p<0.001）、焦虑（p<0.001）、压力（p<0.001）]，连贯感得分更高（p<0.001），心理健康领域的健康相关生活质量有所改善（p<0.001），幸福感也有所提高（p<0.001）。在随访期间，对照组未观察到显著变化。
