The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the influence of HeartMath® on female college athletes' abilities to holistically care for self as assessed through resiliency and power.
The descriptive design used mixed methods and was approved by the university's institutional review board. The purposive sample was female college student athletes who were currently enrolled in a university program of study and played in a National Collegiate Athletic Association sanctioned sport.
There were eight weekly sessions where the holistic intervention HeartMath® was taught and reinforced. Participants completed two tools to measure resilience and power Weeks 1, 4, and 8: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Power as Knowing Participation in Change Tool. At Session 8, a focus group interview was conducted to explore perception of how HeartMath® influenced caring for self as a student athlete.
Although no statistical significance, emergent themes support that with HeartMath®, participants experienced an increase in resilience and power influencing their holistic caring for self.
Findings support the need for additional research on the influence of HeartMath® on student athlete resilience and power in any team on and off the playing field.
本初步研究旨在探讨 HeartMath® 对女性大学生运动员整体自我照顾能力的影响，这种能力通过弹性和力量来评估。
该描述性设计采用混合方法，并获得了大学机构审查委员会的批准。目的抽样是指目前正在参加大学学习计划并参加全国大学生体育协会认可的运动的女性大学生运动员。
每周进行 8 次全面干预 HeartMath® 的教学和强化课程。参与者在第 1、4 和 8 周完成了两个衡量弹性和力量的工具：Connor-Davidson 弹性量表和 Power as Knowing Participation in Change Tool。在第 8 节课上，进行了焦点小组访谈，以探讨参与者对 HeartMath® 如何影响他们作为学生运动员自我照顾的看法。
尽管没有统计学意义，但出现的主题支持这样一种观点，即通过 HeartMath®，参与者在弹性和力量方面的体验有所增加，从而影响他们的整体自我照顾。
研究结果支持需要进一步研究 HeartMath® 对学生运动员弹性和力量的影响，无论是在场上还是场下的任何团队中。
