Abstract

Purpose/objective: Since the prevalence and cost of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are high in the United States, research on affordable preventative and treatment approaches is needed. While meditation shows promise for heart-health promotion, there is little knowledge about its use among people with CVD and factors that may influence its usage. In response, the purposes of the current research are to (a) shed light on the proportion of people with CVD who practice meditation; and (b) reveal variables that predict the use of meditation among them.

Research method: A secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey. A total of 4,197 data entries (respondents with CVD) were included for analysis, and both descriptive and logistic regression analysis results were reported.

Results: Approximately 16% of respondents with CVD practiced meditation. Among them, many used spiritual (82.5%) meditation, followed by mindfulness (29.9%), and mantra (24.9%) meditation. Females (odds ratio [OR] = 1.69), those advised to increase physical activity (OR = 1.34), and email users (OR = 1.63) had higher odds; and those able to afford medication (OR = 0.70) or mental health care/counseling (OR = 0.46) had lower odds to use meditation compared to respective counterparts.

Conclusions/implications: There is a significant proportion of people with CVD who used meditation practices, especially spiritual meditations. However, more research is needed to reveal the determinants of meditation use among people with CVD to facilitate their heart-health-self-care.

预测心血管疾病患者的冥想习惯：逻辑回归分析

目的/目标：在美国，心血管疾病（CVD）的发病率很高，费用也很高，因此需要对经济实惠的预防和治疗方法进行研究。虽然冥想有望促进心脏健康，但人们对其在心血管疾病患者中的使用情况以及可能影响其使用的因素知之甚少。因此，当前研究的目的是：（a）揭示心血管疾病患者中练习冥想的比例；（b）揭示预测心血管疾病患者使用冥想的变量：利用 2017 年全国健康访谈调查的数据进行了二次数据分析。共纳入 4197 个数据条目（患有心血管疾病的受访者）进行分析，并报告了描述性分析和逻辑回归分析结果：约 16% 的心血管疾病受访者练习冥想。结果显示：约有 16% 的心血管疾病受访者练习冥想，其中许多人使用心灵冥想（82.5%），其次是正念冥想（29.9%）和咒语冥想（24.9%）。女性（几率比 [OR] = 1.69）、被建议增加体育锻炼的人（OR = 1.34）和电子邮件用户（OR = 1.63）的几率更高；而那些能够负担得起药物治疗（OR = 0.70）或心理保健/咨询（OR = 0.46）的人与相应的人相比，使用冥想的几率更低：有相当一部分心血管疾病患者使用冥想方法，尤其是精神冥想。然而，还需要更多的研究来揭示心血管疾病患者使用冥想的决定因素，以促进他们的心脏健康-自我保健。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
