目的研究指导放松常规（身体扫描）对夜间戒烟吸烟者吸烟欲望和烟草戒断症状的急性影响。设计实验。30名报告每天吸烟10支或更多香烟至少3年的人。参与者被随机分配完成10分钟的身体扫描（实验组n = 15）或听10分钟的自然历史段落（对照组n = 15）。在基线、干预后立即、干预后5、10和15分钟评估吸烟欲望和吸烟戒断症状的强度。结果有一个显着的组x时间的相互作用，吸烟的欲望的强度。干预后立即和干预后5分钟，身体扫描组的平均吸烟欲望评分明显低于对照组。与对照组相比，身体扫描组还报告了较低的易怒，紧张和不安等级。结论：短暂的身体扫描干预可以减少暂时戒烟者的吸烟欲望和一些烟草戒断症状。身体扫描作为一种控制吸烟欲望和戒断的技术可能是有益的。
Aims To examine the acute effects of a guided relaxation routine (body scan) on desire to smoke and tobacco withdrawal symptoms in overnight abstinent smokers. Design Experimental. Participants Thirty individuals reporting to smoke 10 or more cigarettes daily for at least 3 years. Intervention Participants were assigned randomly to complete a 10-minute body scan (experimental group n = 15) or listen to a natural history passage for 10 minutes (control group n = 15). Measurement Ratings of strength of desire to smoke and smoking withdrawal symptoms were assessed at baseline, immediately after the interventions, and 5, 10 and 15 minutes post-intervention. Findings There was a significant group x time interaction for strength of desire to smoke. The mean desire to smoke rating was significantly lower in the body scan group relative to the control group immediately after the intervention, and 5 minutes post-intervention. The body scan group also reported lower ratings of irritability, tension and restlessness, relative to the controls. Conclusions A brief body scan intervention reduces strength of desire to smoke and some tobacco withdrawal symptoms in temporarily abstaining smokers. The body scan may be beneficial as a technique for managing cigarette cravings and withdrawal.
