The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of integrated yoga on the quality of life and interpersonal relationships in normal pregnant women.
One hundred and two pregnant women between 18 and 20 weeks of gestation who met the inclusion criteria were recruited from the obstetric units in Bangalore and were randomly assigned to two groups of yoga (n = 51) and control (n = 51). Women with medical conditions that could potentially lead to pregnancy complications and those with abnormal fetal parameters were excluded. The yoga group received integrated yoga while control group received standard antenatal exercises, both for 1-h three times a week from 20th to 36th week of gestation. Pre and post assessments were done using WHOQOL-100 and FIRO-B questionnaires.
Of the six domains of WHOQOL-100, between groups analysis showed significant improvements in the yoga group compared to the control in the physical (P = 0.001), psychological (P < 0.001), social (P = 0.003), and environmental domains (P = 0.001). In FIRO-B, the yoga group showed significant improvements in 'Expressed Inclusion' (P = 0.02) and 'Wanted Control' (P = 0.009) domains compared to the control group.
The integrated yoga is an efficacious means of improving the quality of life of pregnant women and enhancing certain aspects of their interpersonal relationships.
本研究旨在探讨综合瑜伽对正常孕妇生活质量和人际关系的影响。
从班加罗尔的产科病房招募了 102 名符合纳入标准的 18-20 周妊娠的孕妇，并将其随机分为瑜伽组（n=51）和对照组（n=51）。排除有潜在导致妊娠并发症的医疗条件和胎儿参数异常的孕妇。瑜伽组在妊娠 20 至 36 周期间每周 3 次，每次 1 小时接受综合瑜伽，对照组接受标准产前运动。在 WHOQOL-100 和 FIRO-B 问卷上进行预评估和后评估。
在 WHOQOL-100 的六个领域中，组间分析显示瑜伽组在身体（P=0.001）、心理（P<0.001）、社会（P=0.003）和环境领域（P=0.001）方面的改善明显优于对照组。在 FIRO-B 中，瑜伽组在“表达包容”（P=0.02）和“期望控制”（P=0.009）方面的改善明显优于对照组。
综合瑜伽是一种有效的改善孕妇生活质量和增强其人际关系某些方面的方法。
