The current study aimed to examine whether brief online stress reduction exercises supplemented with sleep improvement strategies would reduce stress, arousal, and sleep difficulties in college students who were not required to use the sleep improvement strategies for participation.
A sample of 114 college student participants were enrolled because they were experiencing stress and/or wanted to improve their sleep.
Participants were randomized into an abbreviated progressive muscle relaxation, a mindful breathing, or a self-monitoring control condition for the 4-week intervention. Measures of physical relaxation, mindfulness, perceived stress, pre-sleep arousal, and insomnia symptom severity were collected.
The APMR group improved on five of the six dependent measures and was significantly different than the SM group at posttest, but not different than the MB group.
The results suggests promise for brief, online, scaled back stress reduction interventions to reduce stress, arousal, and sleep difficulties in college students.
本研究旨在考察在不要求学生使用睡眠改善策略参与的情况下，补充睡眠改善策略的简短在线减压练习是否会减轻大学生的压力、觉醒和睡眠困难。
招募了 114 名有压力和/或希望改善睡眠的大学生作为样本。
参与者在 4 周的干预中随机分为缩短的渐进性肌肉松弛组、正念呼吸组或自我监测对照组。收集身体放松、正念、感知压力、睡前觉醒和失眠症状严重程度的测量值。
APMR 组在六项依赖测量中有五项得到改善，与 SM 组在测试后显著不同，但与 MB 组无差异。
结果表明，简短的在线减压干预措施有希望减轻大学生的压力、觉醒和睡眠困难。
