摘要

背景：台灣數篇研究顯示，大學生睡眠品質不佳，壓力越大其睡眠品質越不佳，而腹式呼吸可紓緩壓力。目的：探討腹式呼吸體驗課程對大學生睡眠品質之影響。方法：本研究採準實驗研究法，研究對象為台中市某大學20-25歲大學生，分實驗組（39人）和對照組（37人），76人完成前後測問卷。實驗組實施腹式呼吸體驗課程介入共3次，壹週一次，每次90分鐘；對照組沒有實施腹式呼吸體驗課程。研究工具為匹茲堡睡眠品質量表，信度為.77，效度為62%。結果：前測時參加者有63人（83%）睡眠品質差，僅13人（17%）睡眠品質正常。實驗組經腹式呼吸體驗課程介入後，與對照組比較，其腹式呼吸知識之改善上有統計上顯著差異，惟在睡眠品質上，兩組並無顯著差異。結論／實務應用：本研究結果顯示，腹式呼吸體驗課程可改善大學生腹式呼吸知識，此結果能做為大學生在知識教育之參考。

Background: Several studies have shown poor sleep quality among undergraduate students in Taiwan. Abdominal breathing may be an effective approach to relieving school‐anxiety‐related pressures. Purpose: This study examined effect of an abdominal breathing experience class on improving the sleep quality of undergraduate students. Methods: This study used a quasi‐experimental research method. The participants were 20 to 25‐year‐old students enrolled at a university in Taichung. Participants were divided into an experimental group (39 participants) and a control group (37 participants). All participants completed the developed questionnaire once before and once after the intervention. All participants submitted written informed consent. The experimental group participated in three, once‐weekly abdominal breathing course sessions that lasted for 90 minutes per session. The control group received no intervention. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index gave the research model a reliability of .77 and validity of 62%. Results: Pretest findings found that 63 participants (83%) reported ”poor” sleep quality and 13 participants (17%) reported ”normal” sleep quality. Post‐intervention results found a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of abdominal breathing knowledge and no significant difference in terms of sleep quality. Conclusion / Implications for Practice: The main conclusion from this study was that abdominal breathing training is an effective approach to improving the abdominal breathing knowledge of undergraduate students. The results of this study may be used as educational reference in programs designed to improve the sleep quality of undergraduate students.
