论文摘要
目的：Falun Gong（FLG）是一种精神和身体的实践，专注于道德特征以及冥想练习。这项2002年的试点研究探讨了台湾FLG从业人员的健康状况，医疗资源利用和相关因素，与2001年国家健康访谈调查（NHIS）估计的一般台湾规范相比。方法：这项横断面的观察性研究是基于2002年10月至2003年2月的自愿，基于纸张的调查，该调查使用了NHIS采用的同一台湾SF-36仪器。主要结果包括八个SF-36领域评分和医疗访问的数量。进行了单样式t检验，单向方差分析和多元线性回归分析。结果：响应率为75.6％（1,210/1,600）。与规范相比，研究队列在性别和年龄的八个SF-36领域中的六个中的得分明显更高（p <0.05）。在患有慢性疾病的患者中，有70％至89％的人报告其病情改善或治愈。 74.2％，79.2％，83.3％和85.6％的人退出饮酒，吸烟，咀嚼槟榔和赌博。 62.7％的人报告医疗访问数量减少（平均值= 13.53；平均值= 5.87之后）。结论：与规范相比，在这个学科队列中，实践FLG导致了更高的健康评分和降低的健康资源利用。
Objective: Falun Gong (FLG) is a practice of mind and body focusing on moral character improvement along with meditative exercises. This 2002 pilot study explored perceived health status, medical resource utilization and related factors among Taiwanese FLG practitioners, compared to the general Taiwanese norm estimated by the 2001 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was based on a voluntary, paper-based survey conducted from October 2002 to February 2003 using the same Taiwanese SF-36 instrument employed by the NHIS. Primary outcomes included eight SF-36 domain scores and the number of medical visits. One-sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed. Results: The response rate was 75.6% (1,210/1,600). Compared to the norm, the study cohort had significantly higher scores in six of eight SF-36 domains across gender and age (p<0.05). Among those with chronic diseases, 70% to 89% reported their conditions either improved or cured. 74.2%, 79.2%, 83.3%, and 85.6% quitted alcohol drinking, smoking, chewing betel nuts, and gambling. 62.7% reported a reduced number of medical visits (mean=13.53 before; mean=5.87 after). Conclusions: In this subject cohort, practicing FLG led to higher perceived health scores and reduced health resource utilization compared to the norm.
