幫助放鬆身心 冥想app真的有用嗎? Are meditation apps really useful?

 
Many people nowadays use meditation apps such as Calm and Headspace, which provide users with soothing audio, guided meditations, and breathing exercises, to improve mental well-being. A new study suggests that their impact could be comparable to in-person therapy. The authors found that, after four weeks, access to the app reduced the share of participants with moderate or severe anxiety by 13%.

However, it is still unclear whether such apps have any long-term effects. Most users lose interest in mental-health apps after only a few weeks. The study found that 80% of users logged into Headspace at least once during the first two weeks, but by the fourth week, usage declined rapidly.

友善讓你懂 │ 解說:

 
近期,許多人使用 Calm 或 Headspace 等冥想 app,它們提供舒緩的語音、引導式的冥想和呼吸練習,希望能改善心理健康。一項新的研究指出,這些 app 的影響可以與面對面的諮商治療相媲美。該研究的作者發現,使用該 app 四個星期後,中度或重度焦慮症參與者的焦慮程度,降低了 13 個百分點。

 
然而,目前還不清楚此類 app 是否具有任何長期影響,因為大多數用戶在使用幾週後,就失去了興趣。這份研究就發現,80 % 的用戶在前兩周,至少每天會登錄一次 Headspace,但到了第四周,使用量就迅速下降。
