Language: Slovenian Work type: Bachelor thesis/paper Tipology: 2.11 - Undergraduate Thesis Organization: FUDS - School of advanced social studies Abstract: Teoretična izhodišča: Telesno in duševno zdravje predstavljata perečo problematiko po vsem svetu, ne nazadnje tudi zaradi pandemije Covida 19. Namen raziskave je raziskati delovanje transcendentalne meditacije ter njeno učinkovitost na telesno in duševno zdravje. Metoda: Uporabljen je bil kritični pregled literature s pomočjo podatkovnih baz PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, SAGE Journals, Science Direct, PubMed in Google Scholar. Omejitveni kriteriji iskanja so bili: članki in strokovne knjige, objavljeni v recenzirani strokovni/znanstveni reviji, uporaba primernih in zanesljivih statistik, raziskujejo učinke tehnike transcendentalne meditacije na področju duševnega in telesnega zdravja ter vključujejo primerjavo transcendentalne meditacije in drugih tehnik. Pri pregledu literature je bila uporabljena vsebinska analiza prebranega gradiva. Rezultati: V podrobnejši pregled celotnega besedila je bilo od 966.141 zadetkov vključenih 533 zadetkov, v končno analizo pa 205 člankov. Odkrili smo, da gre za dobro metodološko zasnovane raziskave: hierarhično je najvišje na lestvici 29 sistematičnih pregledov randomiziranih in nerandomiziranih kliničnih študij in metaanaliz, sledi 147 posamičnih randomiziranih in nerandomiziranih kliničnih študij, nato sledi 5 sistematičnih pregledov korelacijskih študij ter 24 posameznih korelacijskih študij. Ugotovitve: Transcendentalna meditacija se kaže kot učinkovita tehnika, uporabna tako pri preventivi kot kurativi. Vadba transcendentalne meditacije pomembno vpliva na zmanjšanje stresa, anksioznosti, depresije, različnih vrst glavobolov, porabe alkohola in drog, srčno-žilnih bolezni, diabetesa, holesterola, ADHD, PTSD, porabo zdravil, senzitivnosti simpatičnega živčnega sistema, nespečnosti ter pomembno vpliva na boljšo šolsko uspešnost, ustvarjalnost, inteligentnost, spomin, produktivnost, kognitivno in vedenjsko fleksibilnost, počasnejše staranje, rehabilitacijo zapornikov in večjo koherentnost delovanja možganov. Določena področja so bolj raziskana kot druga, se pa vsa kažejo kot empirično odprta in primerna za nadaljnje raziskovanje. Dotaknemo se tudi pomanjkljivosti in možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovanje.

Title:	Effects of transcendental meditation on physical and mental health
Abstract:	Theoretical Background: Physical and mental health, especially because of the pandemic of Covid 19, present a global problem. The aim of our study is to research how transcendental meditation works and study its effectiveness on physical and mental health. Methods: A critical literature review was performed using PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, SAGE Journals, Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The search restriction criteria were: peer-reviewed articles and books published in scientific magazines, usage of good methodology, exploration of effects of transcendental meditation on physical and mental health, including comparison of transcendental meditation with other forms of meditations. The content analysis of the read material was used in reviewing the literature. Results: Out of 966.141 results, we reviewed the full text of the 533 results eligible for further inspection. In final analysis we included 205 articles. We discovered that all studies used good methodology design: the highest on the scale are 29 systematic reviews of randomised and nonrandomised clinical studies and meta-analysis, followed by 147 randomised and nonrandomised clinical studies, followed by 5 systematic reviews of correlation studies and 24 correlation studies. Findings: Transcendental meditation appears to be an effective technique, useful at prevention and treatment. Practice of transcendental meditation significantly reduces different types of headaches, stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cholesterol, decreases alcohol and drug consumption, sensitivity of sympathetic nervous system, reduces symptoms of ADHD, PTSD, health care costs and significantly improves academic performance, creativity, intelligence, memory, productivity, cognitive and behavioral flexibility, improves effectiveness of the rehabilitation of offenders, provides healthier ageing and increases orderliness and integration of brain functioning. Some areas appear to be more researched than others, all are being showed as empirically opened and suitable for further research. Limitations of our review and suggestions for the future research are discussed.
