|
Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of a mindfulness-based Body-Mind Intervention Pro- gram using marine resources on the improvement of quality of sleep, mood symptoms, and cognitive function in Korean female emotional labor workers.
Methods: Twelve female workers who experienced excess emotional labor participated at the training camp program for ve days in Danghangpo-ocean park, Goseung-gun, Gyeongnam Province in South Korea. Participant sleep quality, mood symp- toms, and cognitive functioning before, after, and 1.5 months later were evaluated and analyzed.
Results: After participating in the marine resource program, participants reported signi cantly decreased sleep latency. Global sleep quality, cognitive functions (attention, exibility, and inhibition control), and mood states, including depression, tension, an- ger, fatigue, were also improved. These effects were generally maintained after 1. 5 months (PSQI t = 2.63, p = 0.02 ; HAM-D t = 5.92, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: A Body-Mind Intervention Program using marine resources was effective in relaxing emotion-related tension and improving cognitive function. To advance this pilot study, it is necessary to carry out further research to investigate the use of ma- rine resources in mental health interventions.
