This study describes the implementation of a mind-body intervention to reduce the perceived level of stress in a nonclinical group of university students. We used a novel approach including a single session of a mind-body technique known as the brain wave modulation (BWM) as an adjunct to a single information session on stress management.
Three hundred and six students participated in the study. A quasi-experimental design was adopted: Students in the experimental group were exposed to an information session on stress management followed by a single session of the BWM, while the other students were exposed to the information session alone.
A 2 × 2 mixed factor analysis of variance demonstrated that the single session of the BWM was effective in reducing the perceived level of stress in the experimental group as compared to the control group.
The BWM is a very easy-to-learn technique that presents certain advantages over traditional mind-body methods.
本研究描述了一种身心干预措施的实施情况,该措施旨在降低非临床组大学生所感知到的压力水平。我们采用了一种新颖的方法,包括单次使用一种名为脑波调制(BWM)的身心技术,作为压力管理单次信息讲座的辅助手段。
306名学生参与了该研究。采用了准实验设计:实验组的学生先参加压力管理信息讲座,随后进行单次BWM,而其他学生仅参加信息讲座。
一项2×2混合因素方差分析表明,与对照组相比,单次BWM能有效降低实验组学生所感知到的压力水平。
BWM是一种非常容易学习的技术,与传统的身心方法相比具有一定优势。
