| 摘要: | 本研究旨在探討佛教禪修與高血壓患者血壓值、自律神經與生活品質變化的關係，採立意取樣法，由58位禪修參與者中，搜集了47位連續參與實驗者，其中高血壓族群有25位，非高血壓患者有22位。每位受測者均在相同時間、地點參加21日的禪修體驗課程，並分別於禪修前、中、後接受五分鐘的心率變異分析儀檢測，並搜集全體受測者禪修前、後主觀問卷表，結果發現：收縮壓、舒張壓、心跳速率、壓力指數均名顯降低，SDNN、RMSSD、總能量、高頻、低頻皆達顯著性差異（p<.05）。證明禪修確有改善高血壓患者之血壓值、生活品質，以及平穩自律神經。 此外，也發現經過三星期的禪修訓練後，高血壓族群疾病改善以情感疾病改善幅度最大達100％，其次是消化系統疾病改善82％以及運動免疫系統疾病改善64％，呼吸系統與泌尿系統改善幅度均為50％。在健康愉快感方面輕鬆舒適感上升21％、精力充沛上升19％、情緒穩定上升18％，其餘各項也有相對的進步。 這些顯著的差異性，呈現出禪修對於高血壓患者具有正面意義的指標。本研究建議對於服用藥物有不良反應或尋求非藥物治療及自然療法來治療高血壓的患者，使用禪修當成藥物以外之輔助療法是具有相對療效與助益。
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of “Zen” meditation on treatments of hypertension toward the hypertensive patients. Forty-seven testers have participated in this research experiment. Among them, twenty-five hypertensive patients were selected, while the rest of the twenty-two testers were served as control. All the subjects took a twenty-one-day of Zen meditation course at the same period of time and same location. During the course, every one of them received a five-minute HRV test before, between and after the meditations sessions. Meanwhile, the questionnaires were collected from testers before and after the meditations to get their subjective perceptions. The statistics analyses were conducted. Obviously, “Zen” meditation training has remarkable influence on the changes of hypertension patients’ systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as well as their heartbeat rate (HRT) and pressure index (PSI) were dropped down, Particularly, on the hypertension patients, the measuring index for SDNN, RMSSD, total power(TP), high frequency(HF), low frequency(HF) all reach significant (p<.05) decreased. In addition, the data indicated that hypertension patients who received meditations have apparent shown improvement on their illness conditions after taking a twenty-one-day “Zen” meditation training. Among them, emotional and stress had hundred percents improved, where as their digestive systems were eighty-two percents improved while sport immune system was sixty-four percents improved, and respiratory system and urinary system were fifty percents improved.It is pleasing that the patients have comfortable feeling of healthy and happiness feeling as risen at a range of twenty-one percents, the feeling of being energetic rose nineteen percents, and emotion stability rose eighteen percents. There were also obvious differences on other factors examined. These data strongly indicated that “Zen” meditation has provided a significant improvement in lowering blood pressure and other important circulation and other parameters, such as balancing the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems of the hypertensive patients. The data also indicated that it could to be used as anti-hypertensive effects and an adherence to the western medicines and eastern herbals for the treatments of hypertension. The “Zen” meditation also can be recommended as a potential natural healing of hypertension if the patients continuously practice through out their cultivations. |
