我们调查了通过智能手机应用程序（app）提供的正念冥想计划是否可以改善心理健康，减少工作压力，并降低工作日的动态血压。参与者是来自英国两家大型公司的238名健康员工，他们被随机分配到正念冥想练习应用程序或等待列表控制条件。该应用程序提供了45个预先录制的10-20分钟的指导音频冥想。参与者被要求每天完成一次冥想。在基线和8周后测量了一个工作日的心理社会指标和血压;在干预开始后16周，还通过电子邮件向参与者发送了一份随访调查。使用数据显示，在8周的干预期间，随机分配到干预组的参与者平均完成了17次冥想（范围从0到45次）。与对照组相比，干预组在幸福感、痛苦、工作压力和对工作场所社会支持的看法方面有显着改善。此外，干预组从干预前到干预后的自测工作日收缩压略有显着下降。在16周的随访评估中，发现干预组的幸福感和工作压力有持续的积极影响。这项试验表明，通过智能手机进行的短期引导正念冥想，每周练习多次，可以改善与工作压力和幸福感相关的结果，并可能产生持久的影响。
We investigated whether a mindfulness meditation program delivered via a smartphone application (app) could improve psychological well-being, reduce job strain, and reduce ambulatory blood pressure during the workday. Participants were 238 healthy employees from two large UK companies that were randomized to a mindfulness meditation practice app or a wait-list control condition. The app offered 45 pre-recorded 10–20 minute guided audio meditations. Participants were asked to complete one meditation per day. Psychosocial measures, and blood pressure throughout one working day, were measured at baseline and 8 weeks later; a follow-up survey was also emailed to participants 16 weeks after the intervention start. Usage data showed that during the 8-week intervention period, participants randomized to the intervention completed an average of 17 meditation sessions (range 0 to 45 sessions). The intervention group reported significant improvement in well-being, distress, job strain, and perceptions of workplace social support compared to the control group. In addition, the intervention group had a marginally significant decrease in self-measured workday systolic blood pressure from pre to post intervention. Sustained positive effects in the intervention group were found for well-being and job strain at the 16-week follow-up assessment. This trial suggests that short guided mindfulness meditations delivered via smartphone and practiced multiple times per week can improve outcomes related to work stress and well-being, with potentially lasting effects.
