Mindfulness to Improve Elders' Immune and Health Status
The purpose of the study is to better understand effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction (MBSR) program on the physical and emotional health and well-being of adults ages 65 and older.
The effects MBSR may have on the immune system is investigated, including how these effects relate to factors such as perceived health, psychological well-being, age, personality, and mood.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This study investigates the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on immune responses to multiple concentrations of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) in elderly volunteers. The research design thus capitalizes on the antibody response to a novel, benign antigen to which our subjects will be immunologically naïve. The use of a range of antigen concentrations will provide a sensitive indicator for the effects of intervention.
The Aims of the study are the following:
- To examine the effects of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on immunological outcomes, perceived health, and psychological well-being in a sample of seniors 65 years of age and older.
- To examine whether treatment effects are moderated by age, personality traits, physical health status, or depression.
- To examine the effects of behavioral, psychological, and physiological mediators of immune outcome.

標準化されたマインドフルネス ベースのストレス軽減 (MBSR) プログラムは、マインドフルネスを強化するために使用される主要なトレーニング ツールです。
8 週間にわたる MBSR プログラムは、被験者が自分自身をよりよくケアするために内なる資源を開発する方法を教えるように設計されています。
MBSR トレーニングには、身体症状、感情、思考に関連する身体経験や感覚のリラクゼーションと意識の向上を目的とした、さまざまなスキルの学習と洗練が含まれます。
動き、瞑想、呼吸に特に重点が置かれます。

IgG Anti-KLH Antibody Response Post-treatment
時間枠:Immediate post-treatment (time 2)
|
Immune function--specifically, antibody response to a novel, benign antigen (an antigen to which subjects are immunologically naïve); in this case, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
|
Immediate post-treatment (time 2)
|
Trail Making Test
時間枠:immediate post-treatment (Time 2)
|
The Trail Making Test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of visual attention and task-switching.
In two timed tasks, subjects are asked to first connect numbers (Test A), then alternating numbers and letters (Test B), in sequential order as quickly as possible.
Completion times, relating to cognitive processing speed and executive function (respectively), may be utilized individually, and as a difference (B-A) or ratio (B/A) score.
The Trails B/A ratio was used as an index of improvement in executive control throughout the trial, with lower scores indicating better performance.

immediate post-treatment (Time 2)
|
Electroencephalography Measurement
時間枠:post-treatment (time 2)
|
Measurement of alpha asymmetry at the F3/4 (frontal) electrode.
Left prefrontal activation has been associated with positive affect, and with higher levels of antibody responses and natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
