Benefits of heart rate variability biofeedback training on medical students' mental health

Gepubliceerd op: 14-07-2025

Background: Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF) has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention for stress and emotional regulation. This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal effects of HRV-BF on perceived stress, depression, and anxiety among international medical students over 12 weeks. 
Methods: A total of 47 international medical students participated in the study, with psychological assessments conducted at two time points

Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Intervention Programme to Improve Attention in Primary Schools

Gepubliceerd op: 23-08-2024

The importance of attentional capacity for academic performance is highlighted by the increasing demands placed on students during primary school. Between the ages of 7 and 12, there is an evolutionary improvement in attentional capacity and the school environment is considered an appropriate setting in which to develop programmes to improve attention. Heartrate variability is an appropriate indicator of attentional capacity. For all these reasons, a heart rate variability biofeedback intervention focused on breathing was developed and

HRV Biofeedback Training for Children with Behavioural Disorders in New Zealand: Three Case Studies

Although treatments exist for children with behavioural disorders, they often require significant time and are costly. The current pilot study aimed to conduct a preliminary investigation to examine the feasibility of a brief heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback intervention for children with behavioural disorders in New Zealand (NZ). Participants included 10 children aged between 6 and 11 years who were referred to secondary mental healthcare services in NZ to treat non compliant and aggressive behaviours. Participants included in the study had at

Emotional Self-Regulation in Primary Education: A Heart Rate-Variability Biofeedback Intervention Programme

Abstract: This study investigated the benefits of using a biofeedback intervention programme to train children in controlling their heart rate variability (HRV) through slow-paced breathing in real time. HRVbiofeedback interventions focused on showing subjects to breathe such that their HRV numbers rise, improving their self-regulation. The HRV biofeedback intervention, focused on breathing, was conducted with primary education students aged between 7 and 11 years. The programme consisted of five biofeedback sessions, where students were

Does Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Enhance Executive Functions Across the Lifespan? A Systematic Review

Abstract
The scope of this systematic review was to summarize the existing literature on the effects of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BF) on executive functions (EFs) across the lifespan. Specifically, it aimed to investigate the factors that may affect the efficacy of HRV-BF interventions, such as the study population, duration and intensity of the intervention, or the technical equipment. This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies that

Is heart rate variability biofeedback useful in children and adolescents? A systematic review

Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is considered as an index of both physical and emotional health, and biofeedback aiming to increase the level of HRV has demonstrated extensive beneficial effects. Although HRV biofeedback is commonly and reliably applied in adults, the use of this technique, alone or in addition to other treatments, in children and adolescents has not been widely explored to date. Methods: This systematic review following PRISMA guidelines covers all human studies using HRV biofeedback in children

Self-Regulatory Biofeedback Training: An Intervention to Reduce School Burnout and Improve Cardiac functioning in college students

With the detrimental relationship between school burnout and physiological and cognitive functioning now well documented, interventions to ameliorate school burnout symptomology are needed. This study examined the effectiveness of a self-regulatory biofeedback intervention program (Heart RateVariability Coherence Biofeedback Training [HRVCB]) in contrast to a protocol demonstrated to produce cognitive and physiological improvements (a high intensity interval training protocol [HIIT]) as well as a wait-list control condition at decreasing school

Biofeedback Intervention for Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among Graduate Students in Public Health Nursing

Gepubliceerd op: 05-04-2015

Globally, graduate students have been found to have high prevalence of mental health problems. With increasing severity of mental health problems on university campuses and limited resources for mental health treatment, alternative interventions are needed.This study investigated the use of biofeedback training to help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. A sample of 60 graduate students in public health nursing was randomly assigned to either the biofeedback intervention or the control group. Results indicated that biofeedback

An Institutional Case Study: Emotion Regulation With HeartMath at Santa Cruz County Children's Mental Health

Gepubliceerd op: 15-03-2015

This case study from Santa Cruz County Children’s Mental Health Agency (CMH), California, reviews the use of measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) to enhance emotional regulation of patients. CMH serves seriously emotionally disturbed youths, many of whom have been separated from their parents for a prolonged period or have  been  vulnerable  without  the  consistent  presence  of  their  caregivers.  In  this  study,  the  HRV  pattern  was  calculated as high coherence, medium coherence, or low coherence. According to Thurber et al, heart

The Effects of a Stress Management Intervention in Elementary School Children

Gepubliceerd op: 01-01-2014

ABSTRACT: Objective: This preliminary study tests the effectiveness of an elementary school-based stressmanagement technique on anxiety symptoms and heart rate variability (HRV) in children. Methods: In this controlled prospective longitudinal study, children in third-grade classroom participated in a teacher-led daily 10-minute stress management intervention for 4 months. The control class teacher read from a children’s bookfor 10 minutes daily. A standardized anxiety scale and HRV (using computer biofeedback program) were measured

Biofeedback Intervention for Stress and Anxiety among Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Gepubliceerd op: 07-05-2012

Purpose.It has been well documented that nursing students across the world experience stress and anxiety throughout their education and training. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the impact of biofeedback intervention program on nursing students’ levels of stress and anxiety during their first clinical training. Methods.Participants consisted of 60 second-year baccalaureate nursing students. The 30 participants in the biofeedback group received training on how to use the biofeedback device to assist in stress and

Coherence training in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: cognitive functions and behavioral changes

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent behavioral diagnosis in children, with an estimated 500000 children affected in the United Kingdom alone. The need for an appropriate and effective intervention for children with ADHD is a growing concern for educators and child-care  agencies.  This  randomized  controlled  clinical  trial evaluated the impact of the HeartMath self-regulation skills and  coherence  training  program  (Institute  of  HeartMath, Boulder Creek, California) on a population of 38 children with ADHD in
