目的：本研究旨在探索太極氣功團體改善住院精神病人憂鬱、焦慮之效果。 方法：採兩组前後測之類實驗研究設計，以方便取樣，樣本取自臺北某醫學中心精神科 急性病房診斷思覺失調症或憂鬱症之病人，本研究先予對照组收案完成後，再進 行實驗組資料收集，兩組各收54名，合計108名。對照组為接受常規性照護，實 驗組除常規照護外，另介入每日30分鐘的太極氣功團體；研究工具採醫院焦慮憂 鬱量表，並每日監測血壓、心跳及睡眠時數等生理數值，兩組於入院3天内和出 院前收集醫院焦慮憂鬱量表及生理數值。 結果：實驗組以女性4〇人（741%)、憂鬱症35人（64.8%)為多，平均年齡46.65歲， 平均每人參加氣功團體23.8次；實驗组與對照组的基本資料之性別變項達統計上 明顯不同（p=.〇3)，顯示實驗組女性較對照组為多，其餘變項均屬同質性。兩组 前後測資料進一步以廣義推估方程式（GEE)分析，發現實驗組焦慮得分較對照 组有明顯差異情形（p=.〇3)，憂鬱則無顯著差異；而血壓、心跳及睡眠時數等生 理數值，亦未達顯著差異。質性分析描述如某位病人說：「活在#7"……，思绪 較通暢，使心情平穩，有助於精神病的治療，放鬆心情，也為自己多一份安全感， 免除恐懼，建立自信心...」 結論：本研究結果太極氣功有助於改善急性住院精神病人之焦慮症狀，精神科護理人員 若能持續加以推動，對病人而言，不啻是一項良好的健康促進活動，對其功能的 復元會有所助益。
