Abstract

BACKGROUND Increasing levels of distress and barriers to healthcare have coincided with increasing use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). While mindfulness and movement interventions may improve wellbeing, little research has compared the effectiveness of these two approaches. OBJECTIVE This single intervention study aimed to (1) explore the effects of two brief, online, self-administered mindfulness and movement interventions on affect and vitality, and (2) establish whether changes in affect and vitality could be predicted by age, gender, general distress, previous CAM experience and enjoyment of the intervention. METHODS Participants (n = 62) were randomly allocated to follow a brief online mindfulness or movement intervention. Levels of affect (using PANAS) and subjective vitality (using the Subjective Vitality Scale) were measured pre and post intervention. Demographics, experience with CAM and general distress (using the DASS-21) were collected pre intervention, while level of enjoyment (using the ENJOY scale) was measured post intervention. Open-text responses gathered qualitative data on participant experience. RESULTS Participants completing the mindfulness intervention reported increased vitality and decreased positive and negative affect. Those completing the movement intervention reported increased vitality and positive affect and decreased negative affect. Higher DASS-21 levels were predictive of greater reductions in negative affect. Higher levels of enjoyment were predictive of greater increases in positive affect and vitality. CONCLUSIONS Differences between mindfulness and movement interventions may indicate that they could have targeted applications. While further research is necessary, these brief, online interventions may provide a sustainable, accessible self-management and wellbeing intervention.
正念和运动对情感和活力的影响。
背景随着人们对补充和替代医学(CAM)的使用越来越多,医疗保健方面的困扰和障碍也越来越多。这项单一干预研究旨在:(1)探索两种简短、在线、自我管理的正念和运动干预对情感和活力的影响;(2)确定情感和活力的变化是否可以通过年龄、性别、一般困扰、以前的 CAM 经验和对干预的喜爱程度来预测。方法将参与者(n = 62)随机分配到简短的在线正念或运动干预中。测量干预前后的情绪水平(使用 PANAS)和主观活力水平(使用主观活力量表)。干预前收集了人口统计数据、使用 CAM 的经验和一般困扰(使用 DASS-21),干预后测量了享受程度(使用 ENJOY 量表)。结果完成正念干预的参与者表示活力增强,积极和消极情绪减少。完成运动干预的参与者表示活力和积极情绪增加,消极情绪减少。较高的 DASS-21 水平预示着消极情绪的降低幅度更大。结论正念干预和运动干预之间的差异可能表明它们可以有针对性地应用。虽然还需要进一步的研究,但这些简短的在线干预措施可能会提供一种可持续的、可获得的自我管理和健康干预措施。
