Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of biofeedback therapy on metabolic syndrome (MS) and the effect of different levels of job stress on the outcome.
Methods:The physicians in tertiary hospitals who were diagnosed with MS from January to December, 2016 were divided into biofeedback group and health education group according to different intervention methods, and moderate group, medium group, and high group according to different levels of job stress. A 6-month intervention was implemented from May to October, 2017. A two-way factorial design was used to analyze the main effect of biofeedback on physical and biochemical parameters and the interaction of biofeedback and job stress.
Results:After 6 months of intervention, the patients in both the biofeedback group and the moderate group had significantly decreased waist circumference, body mass index, systolic blood pressure (SBP) , diastolic blood pressure (DBP) , and levels of triglyceride (TG) , total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and a significantly increased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (all P<0.05) ; the patients in both the health education group and the moderate group had significantly decreased SBP, DBP, and levels of TG, LDL-C, and FPG (P<0.05) . The factorial analysis of variance showed that there was a synergistic interaction between the intervention method and job stress level in SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and FPG among MS patients (P<0.05) . The high group had significantly more improvements in all indices compared with the medium group and the moderate group (P<0.05) .
Conclusion:Biofeedback therapy can effectively improve blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose in MS patients, and is more effective for patients with high job stress level.
