Abstract

This pilot 2-week, randomized controlled trial examined integrating digital storytelling (DST) with heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) to enhance psycho-emotional well-being of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) patients. HCT patients (N = 25; M _age = 51.9 years) were randomly assigned: (1) DST + HRVB intervention, or (2) DST-only control. Both groups viewed four emotionally-rich digital stories. The DST + HRVB group practiced HRVB at home for ten minutes/day. DST + HRVB participants decreased anger, depression, fatigue (d = 0.53) and increased emotional processing (d = 0.20), and HRV-assessed autonomic nervous system balance (3.5 vs. 0.9). This study supports feasibility of integrating DST with HRVB, and effect sizes indicate superiority of combining DST with HRVB.

在造血细胞移植患者中测试数字故事干预结合心率变异性生物反馈的可行性。

这项为期2周的试点随机对照试验研究了将数字叙事（DST）与心率变异性生物反馈（HRVB）相结合，以增强造血细胞移植（HCT）患者的心理情绪健康。HCT患者(N = 25；(1) DST + HRVB干预组，或(2)仅DST对照组。两组人都观看了四个情感丰富的数字故事。DST + HRVB组每天在家练习HRVB 10分钟。DST + HRVB的参与者减少了愤怒、抑郁、疲劳（d = 0.53），增加了情绪处理（d = 0.20）， hrv评估的自主神经系统平衡（3.5 vs 0.9）。本研究支持夏令时与HRVB结合的可行性，效应量显示夏令时与HRVB结合的优势。
