摘要：

招募Sarason考试焦虑量表评分12~20分，且考前焦虑状态持续超过24 h未能缓解的焦虑学生和正常学生各30名，用Actiheart心电记录仪记录耳穴压豆刺激前10min、刺激过程中前10min和后10min受试者心率变异性指标的变化。结果发现，耳穴压豆刺激后所有受试者的NN间期标准差和相邻NN间期差的均方根均明显升高，心率变异性三角指数、极低频功率、低频功率和低频功率与高频功率之比也有不同程度的增高。与正常人比较，焦虑学生耳穴压豆刺激后相邻NN间期差的均方根升高更明显。说明耳穴压豆即时刺激能提高受试者的心率变异性，尤其能较为特异性地引起考前焦虑学生相邻NN间期差的均方根值的升高。

Abstract:

A total of 30 students scoring between 12 and 20 on the Test Anxiety Scale who had been exhibiting an anxious state > 24 hours, and 30 normal control students were recruited. Indices of heart rate variability were recorded using an Actiheart electrocardiogram recorder at 10 minutes before auricular pressing, in the first half of stimulation and in the second half of stimulation. The results revealed that the standard deviation of all normal to normal intervals and the root mean square of standard deviation of normal to normal intervals were significantly increased after stimulation. The heart rate variability triangular index, very-low-frequency power, low-frequency power, and the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency power were increased to different degrees after stimulation. Compared with normal controls, the root mean square of standard deviation of normal to normal intervals was significantly increased in anxious students following auricular pressing. These results indicated that auricular pressing can elevate heart rate variability, especially the root mean square of standard deviation of normal to normal intervals in students with pre-exam anxiety.
