Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of Qigong training of elderly single women on their pain consciousness and depression. To achieve the goal of this study, 102 female elder's were randomly placed into three groups of Health Qigong such as YiJinJing training group, LiuZiJue training group and control group with no training. They were trained for 12 weeks and the changes in their pain consciousness and depression were observed. After identifying the difference among three groups, the following conclusions were made. First, pain consciousness and depression were significantly improved in YiJinJing training group and LiuZiJue training group in pre and post assessments, while there was no difference in the control group. Second, in one-way ANOVA analysis of three groups on pain consciousness, there was significant difference between control group and YiJinJing training group, between control group and LiuZiJue training group, and between YiJinJing training group and LiuZiJue training group. Third, in ANOVA analysis of three groups on depression, there was significant difference between control group and YiJinJing training group, and between control group and LiuZiJue training group.
The results show that YiJinJing training and LiuZiJue training of Health Qigong made effects on pain consciousness and depression of elderly single women, in particular YiJinJing training was more effective than LiuZiJue on pain consciousness.
