Table_1_The Effectiveness of Plaza Dancing on Psychological Well-Being and Ill-Being: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.docx

Evidence suggests that participation in plaza dancing may affect mental health. This study for the first time quantified the relationships between plaza dancing and psychological well-being and ill-being. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP to identify relevant studies published from the databases since their inception to July 25, 2021. The standardized mean differences (SMDs) of pre-to-post intervention data were calculated in the meta-analysis. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed to test the potential moderating effects of age, outcome classification, measurement instruments, district, publication year, total sample size, and the duration, frequency, and length of the square dance intervention. A total of 25 original articles met all the eligibility criteria and were included in the review, and 17 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that plaza dancing improved psychological well-being (pooled SMD = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.58, 0.95; I2 = 86.9%) and reduced psychological ill-being (pooled SMD = −0.84; 95% CI: −1.00, −0.68; I2 = 64.8%). The study participants’ age and district did not seem to affect the effectiveness of the plaza dancing intervention. The duration and frequency of plaza dancing affected the association between square dance and psychological well-being (duration, β = −0.044; 95% CI: −0.085, −0.004; frequency, β = 0.122; 95% CI: 0.024, 0.221) and psychological ill-being (duration, β = −0.029; 95% CI: −0.040, −0.018; frequency, β = 0.154; 95% CI: 0.030, 0.278). Plaza dancing has a significant positive effect on psychological well-being and psychological ill-being, and the effects are moderated by intervention modality. Generalizing plaza dancing interventions to promote psychological well-being and prevent or treat psychological ill-being is needed.Systematic Review Registration[www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero], identifier [CRD42021272016].

现有证据表明，参与广场舞活动可能对心理健康产生影响。本研究首次量化了广场舞与心理健康及心理不适之间的关系。我们系统地检索了PubMed、Web of Science、CNKI、万方和VIP数据库，以识别自数据库创立以来至2021年7月25日发表的相关研究。在荟萃分析中，计算了干预前后数据的标准化平均差异（SMD）。通过亚组和荟萃回归分析，检验了年龄、结果分类、测量工具、区域、发表年份、总样本量以及广场舞干预的持续时间、频率和长度等潜在调节效应。共有25篇原创文章符合所有纳入标准，并被纳入综述，其中17项研究被纳入荟萃分析。荟萃分析显示，广场舞改善了心理健康（合并SMD = 0.76；95% CI: 0.58, 0.95；I2 = 86.9%）并减少了心理不适（合并SMD = −0.84；95% CI: −1.00, −0.68；I2 = 64.8%）。研究参与者的年龄和区域似乎并未影响广场舞干预的有效性。广场舞的持续时间和频率影响了广场舞与心理健康（持续时间，β = −0.044；95% CI: −0.085, −0.004；频率，β = 0.122；95% CI: 0.024, 0.221）及心理不适（持续时间，β = −0.029；95% CI: −0.040, −0.018；频率，β = 0.154；95% CI: 0.030, 0.278）之间的关联。广场舞对心理健康和心理不适具有显著的积极影响，且这种影响受到干预方式的影响。将广场舞干预推广至提升心理健康、预防或治疗心理不适的需求日益凸显。系统综述注册[www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero]，标识符[CRD42021272016]。
