8주간의 절명상 프로그램이 여성의 스트레스, 우울 및 심혈관 위험인자에 미치는 효과

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구에서는 절명상 프로그램이 가진 보완대체의학으로서의 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 성인 여성을 대상으로 8주 간의 절명상 프로그램을 시행하고 스트레스, 우울 및 심혈관계 위험 인자에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
일개 요양병원에 근무하는 성인여성 60명 중 탈락기준을 통과한 57명을 대상으로 무작위대조군 실험을 진행하였다. 연구대상자들은 실험 전후에 자기기입식 설문을 통해 스트레스, 우울을 단축형 사회심리적 건강 측정도구(PWI-SF), Beck 우울척도(BDI)로 각각 조사하였고, 체질량지수, 허리둘레, 혈압, 당화혈색소, 항상성 모델 평가(homeostasis model assessment, HOMA), 저밀도지단백 콜레스테롤, 고밀도지단백 콜레스테롤, 중성지방을 측정하였다. 실험군에게 스트레칭, 절명상, 정좌명상으로 구성된 절명상 프로그램을 8주간 시행하였으며, 대조군에는 아무런 중재를 하지 않았다.
제외기준을 통과한 57명 중, 실험군 26명, 대조군 27명이 실험을 완주하였고, 실험군은 일주일에 평균 5.16회 절명상 프로그램을 시행하였다. 8주간의 실험 후, 실험군은 스트레스(t=5.102, p<0.01), 우울(t=5.259, p<0.01), 체질량지수(t=2.942, p=007)와 허리둘레(t=2.582, p=0.016)가 유의미하게 감소하였으나, 대조군은 유의한 변화가 없었다. 그 외의 변수에서는 실험군과 대조군 사이에 유의미한 차이가 없었다.
8주 간의 절명상 프로그램 시행 후, 시행 전에 비하여 실험군에서 스트레스, 우울 및 체질량지수, 허리둘레가 유의하게 감소되었고, 변화량의 차이는 대조군과의 비교에서도 유의하였다. 이는 절명상이 심신의학의 한 방법이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Objectives: There has been an increase in the use of mind?body therapies to control cardiovascular risk factors recently. This trial was designed to determine whether the ‘jeol’(Korean Buddhists’ prostration) meditation program, as a new mind-body intervention, was effective in managing stress, depression and controlling cardiovascular risk factors in women working at a geriatric hospital.
Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the ‘jeol’ meditation program could improve stress, anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular risk factors in women. We randomly assigned 57 participants to the intervention(29 participants) or control(28 participants) group. The subjects in the intervention group participated in a group Jeol meditation program once weekly, and practiced at home. The following variables were assessed: stress(Psychosocial Wellbeing Index), depression(Beck’s Depression Inventory), body mass index(BMI), waist circumference, hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment(HOMA), low-density lipoprotein(LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride were assessed.
Results: After the 8-week program, 2 participants from the intervention group and 1 from the control group dropped out. The subjects in the intervention group exhibited decreased scores for stress(t=5.102, p<0.01), depression(t=5.259, p<0.01), BMI(t=2.942, p=0.007), and waist circumference(t=2.582, p=0.016); however these scores did not demonstrate a significant decrease in participants of the control group. The other variables showed no significant difference between the groups.
Conclusion: The ‘jeol’ meditation program evidently reduced stress, anxiety, depression, body weight, and waist circumference in women, which suggests that this program could be employed as a mind-body therapies.
