瑜珈對更年期婦女的自尊及身體意象和主觀幸福感之影響

本研究目的為探討從事瑜珈運動的更年期婦女是否能提升身體意象與自尊，本研究以107名參與瑜珈課程與沒有規律運動的更年期女性為研究對象。研究工具為王正松與王建興（2004）所修定的多向度身體關係問卷，加上與Rosenberg（1965）發展的羅森伯格自尊量表，和陸洛(2008)主觀幸福感量表進行測試，問卷內並無填及有關受試者個人資訊之項目，以無記名方式進行填答。以分析結果探討長期從事瑜珈運動的更年期婦女是否在自尊感、身體意象與幸福感上與未從事規律運動習慣的婦女間產生差異。結果發現從事瑜珈的更年期婦女比起沒有規律運動的更年期婦女，在外型評估AE、體適能評估FE、健康評估HE、健康適應HO、過重關注OP有顯著的正面影響，也就是從事瑜珈的更年期婦女在以上這四個向量中有比沒有規律運動的更年期婦女更正面的身體意象；而在自尊和主觀幸福感上沒有顯著差異。相關研究的結果分別加以討論並提出實際建議，提供相關從業人員與研究者參考。
