OBJECTIVE: 

目標

More than one-third of college students reported the desire for stress reduction techniques and education. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 20-week structured self-Reiki program on stress reduction and relaxation in college students.

超過三分之一的大學生想要學習減壓的技巧，這次研究的目的是確定為期20週的自我靈氣減壓放鬆計畫對大學生的影響。

METHODS:

方法

Students were recruited from Stockton University and sessions were conducted in the privacy of their residence. Twenty students completed the entire study consisting of 20 weeks of self-Reiki done twice weekly. Each participant completed a Reiki Baseline Credibility Scale, a Reiki Expectancy Scale, and a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) after acceptance into the study. The PSS was completed every four weeks once the interventions were initiated. A global assessment questionnaire was completed at the end of the study. Logs summarizing the outcome of each session were submitted at the end of the study.

斯托克頓大學學生們，參加了在他們的私人住宅舉行的會議。20個學生完成了為期20週，每週2次的自我靈氣研究計畫。每個參與者都完成了靈氣基準可信度量表、靈氣期望量表、壓力知覺量表（PSS）。PSS必須每4週完成一次。在研究結束時要寫一份全球性的評估問卷，且要對每一次會議的結果做記錄總結。

RESULTS:

結果

With the exception of three participants, participants believed that Reiki is a credible technique for reducing stress levels. Except for two participants, participants agreed that Reiki would be effective in reducing stress levels. All participants experienced stress within the month prior to completing the initial PSS. There was a significant reduction in stress levels from pre-study to post-study. There was a correlation between self-rating of improvement and final PSS scores. With one exception, stress levels at 20 weeks did not return to pre-study stress levels.

除了3個人之外，其他人都相信靈氣是一個可靠的減壓技巧；除了2個人，其他人都同意靈氣可有效地降低壓力等級。所有人在完成初次PSS前都感受到壓力，而研究計畫完成後的壓力等級與研究前相比有了顯著的降低。最終的PSS分數與自我評量改善是有關連的

CONCLUSION:

結論

This study supports the hypothesis that the calming effect of Reiki may be achieved through the use of self-Reiki.

這份研究顯示，靈氣的鎮靜效果可透過對自己使用靈氣來達成。
