An Experimental Study Of Meditation To Improve Immune Function Of College Students

Purpose:Testing the subject’s immune parameters of natural killer cells(NK),a-interferon (IFN-a), saliva immunoglobulin A(SIgA)study meditation training on individual immune function.Object:This study used random experimental design, and90participants were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, each group of45. Due to the loss of the subjects, remaining69subjects, of whom34were in the experimental group,of whom35were in the control group.Methods:The experimental group were taken the intervention of a period of six weeks,30minutes each time, the control group without intervention. Measure the two groups before,and after,using "SRHMS","PANAS " and detecting NK、FN-a、SIgA、Cor SC and HR. Use of methods such as T-sample analysis and correlation analysis for statistical analysis of the data.Results:The results show:(1)PA score is increased(p<0.05) and NA score is reduced(p<0.001) after meditation training; SRHMS scores are increased after meditation training(p<0.05).(2) Cor concentration is reduced (p<0.001) and SIgA concentration is increased (p<0.001)(3) Heart rate and SC scoreis decreased after meditation training (p<0.05) Conclusion:(1) Meditation training can relieve stress response and improve individual emotions. First, meditation training can reduce cortisol levels, thereby reducing individual stress levels. Secondly, meditation training can improve the individual’s positive emotion, reducing the individual’s negative emotions. Finally, meditation training can make the mood turning relatively mild state into calm and relaxed state.(2) Meditation training can improve the immune function. Meditation training can improve SIgA, NK concentration while reducing the concentration of IFN-α. In summary, meditation training can improve mood, reduce stress levels and improve immune function.
