This 40-weeks intervention study evaluates the effects on self-reported health status, emotional wellbeing, general self-efficacy and sleep problems among female hospital employees.
107 employees were cluster-randomized into three groups; football (FG), Zumba (ZG) and control (CG). Outcome measurements were conducted at baseline, 12 and 40 weeks. Weekly training frequencies in the first 12 and next 28 weeks were 2.4 ± 0.3 and 0.8 ± 0.2 in FG and 2.3 ± 0.3 and 0.9 ± 0.2 in ZG.
Compared to the CG, the ZG showed significant improvement in self-reported health status ( = 0.025), a reduced frequency of poor and restless sleep (on a 0-4 scale) ( = 0.004), as well as a tendency for reduction in the frequency of problems falling asleep ( = 0.055) and overall sleep problems ( = 0.051). Between baseline and 12 weeks, both the FG ( = 0.017) and the ZG ( = 0.017) showed within-group improvements in emotional wellbeing, whereas this improvement was maintained only in the ZG between baseline and 40 weeks ( = 0.002). The FG showed a significant within-group improvement in general self-efficacy ( = 0.012) between baseline and 12 weeks follow-up, with no such improvements in the other groups.
The present findings revealed that a physical activity intervention with Zumba as well as football training may improve mental health and sleep outcomes in female hospital staff.
本 40 周干预研究评估了足球和尊巴运动对女性医院员工自报健康状况、情绪健康、一般自我效能感和睡眠问题的影响。
107 名员工被聚类随机分为三组；足球（FG）、尊巴（ZG）和对照组（CG）。在基线、12 周和 40 周时进行了结果测量。在最初的 12 周和接下来的 28 周内，每周的训练频率分别为 2.4 ± 0.3 和 0.8 ± 0.2，在 FG 和 2.3 ± 0.3 和 0.9 ± 0.2。
与 CG 相比，ZG 在自报健康状况方面有显著改善（ = 0.025），睡眠质量差和睡眠不安（0-4 分）的频率降低（ = 0.004），入睡困难（ = 0.055）和总体睡眠问题（ = 0.051）的频率也有降低的趋势。在基线和 12 周之间，FG（ = 0.017）和 ZG（ = 0.017）均显示出情绪健康的组内改善，而只有 ZG 在基线和 40 周之间保持了这种改善（ = 0.002）。FG 在基线和 12 周随访期间显示出一般自我效能感的显著组内改善（ = 0.012），而其他组没有这种改善。
本研究结果表明，足球和尊巴运动等身体活动干预可能改善女性医院员工的心理健康和睡眠结果。
