Abstract
Resumen: La presente investigación pretende validar científicamente una de las técnicas
psicoterapéuticas alternativas existentes en nuestro país, la Meditación Trascendente –
Método Xirione. Para ello se comprobó su eficacia en la reducción del nivel de ansiedad –
estado en un grupo de pacientes diagnosticados con trastorno mixto ansioso – depresivo de
un hospital nacional. Se utilizó un diseño experimental con grupo de control, conformado
por 20 pacientes cada uno. El grupo experimental recibió un Taller de Meditación Método
Xirione en su perspectiva terapéutica y el grupo control siguió con su medicación habitual
durante 4 semanas. A ambos grupos se le aplicó el Inventario de Ansiedad Rasgo y Estado
(IDARE) antes y después de la intervención. Asimismo, se le aplicó una encuesta
relacionada al aprendizaje, uso y satisfacción con la técnica de meditación en relación al
manejo de la ansiedad. Los resultados revelaron una mejora significativa y un tamaño del
efecto grande en los pacientes que recibieron el taller en comparación de los pacientes que
recibieron sólo tratamiento farmacológico. En conclusión, se confirma la efectividad clínica
de la meditación en la disminución de sintomatología ansiosa, específicamente la eficacia
del Método Xirione en la reducción de la ansiedad – estado, contribuyendo así en la
validación de métodos alternativos dentro del campo psicológico en pos del proceso de
articulación de la Medicina/Psicología Complementaria y Alternativa al sistema nacional de
salud del Perú.
Abstract: This research aims to scientifically validate one of the existing alternative psychotherapeutic techniques in our country, the Transcendent Meditation - Xirione's Method. To this end, its effectiveness in reducing the level of state anxiety was proven in a group of patients diagnosed with mixed anxious - depressive disorder of a national hospital. An experimental design was used, with a control group, consisting of 20 patients each. The experimental group received a Xirione's Meditation Workshop in its therapeutic perspective, and control group continued with their usual medication for 4 weeks. Both groups solved the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the intervention. It was also applied a survey related to learning, use and satisfaction with the meditation technique in relation to the management of anxiety. The results revealed a significant improvement and a large effect size in patients receiving the workshop compare to patients receiving only drug treatment. In conclusion, the clinical effectiveness of meditation in reducing anxiety symptoms is confirmed, specifically Xirione's Method effectiveness in reducing state anxiety, contributing this way to the validation of alternative methods in the psychological field in pursuit of the articulation process of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine/Psychology to the national health system in Peru.
