富于表现的书写作为一种辅助疗法减轻因戒烟增加的体重
2009/07/30
目的：评价富于表现力的书写对因戒烟体重增加的作用。
方法：这一研究从2001年7月～2005年6月。志愿者（N = 196)年龄18～24岁(M = 20.8, SD = 2.0 years),来自美国东南的大城市被随机分到简单的办公室干预或富于表现力的书写加简单的办公室干预。这一样本中56%为女性，93%为白种人，平均吸烟量为18.1支每天(SD = 6.1),平均BMI为24.9(SD = 5.6)。从第3～24周接受富于表现力的书写加简单的办公室干预的志愿者增加的体重明显低于接受简单的办公室干预的志愿者增加的体重，但是在第52周区别不明显。这一富于表现力的书写作用于体重的研究的局限性是未曾预料到的治疗效果在事后分析中得到评价。
结论：虽然这些数据表明富于表现力的书写可以作为一种辅助疗法来减掉因戒烟而增加的体重，但需进一步研究来保证。

This investigation evaluated the effect of expressive writing on weight gain in young adults being treated for smoking cessation. This study was conducted between July 2001 and June 2005. Participants (N = 196) ages 18-24 years (M = 20.8, SD = 2.0 years), who were recruited from a large city in the southeastern United States were randomized to brief office intervention or expressive writing plus brief office intervention. The sample was 56% female, 93% Caucasian, smoked a mean of 18.1 cigarettes per day (SD = 6.1), and had a mean body mass index of 24.9 (SD = 5.6). Participants who received the expressive writing plus brief office intervention gained significantly less weight than those receiving the brief office interventions from week 3 to 24, but did not significantly differ at week 52. A limitation of this investigation relates to the fact that the impact of expressive writing on weight was an unanticipated treatment effect that was evaluated in post-hoc analyses. Although the findings suggest that expressive writing holds promise as a treatment adjunct to decrease weight gain associated with smoking cessation, further research is warranted.
