To assess the efficacy of a short-term comprehensive yoga-based lifestyle intervention in reducing anxiety, improving subjective well-being and personality.
The study is a part of an ongoing larger study at a tertiary care hospital. Participants (n=90) included patients with chronic diseases attending a 10-day, yoga-based lifestyle intervention program for prevention and management of chronic diseases, and healthy controls (n=45) not attending any such intervention.
Change in state and trait anxiety questionnaire (STAI-Y; 40 items), subjective well-being inventory (SUBI; 40 items), and neuroticism extraversion openness to experience five factor personality inventory revised (NEO-FF PI-R; 60 items) at the end of intervention.
Following intervention, the STAI-Y scores reduced significantly (P<0.001) at Day 10 (66.7 ± 13.0) versus Day 1 (72.5 ± 14.7). Also, positive SUBI scores (F1- F6) improved significantly (P<0.01) at Day 10 versus Day 1. Similarly NEO-FF PI-R scores improved significantly (P<0.001) at Day 10 versus Day 1. Control group showed an increase in STAI-Y while SUBI and NEO-FF PI-R scores remained comparable at Day 10 versus Day 1.
The observations suggest that a short-term, yoga-based lifestyle intervention may significantly reduce anxiety and improve subjective well-being and personality in patients with chronic diseases.
评估基于瑜伽的短期综合生活方式干预在减轻焦虑、改善主观幸福感和人格方面的疗效。
本研究是一家三级护理医院正在进行的一项更大规模研究的一部分。参与者（n = 90）包括参加为期10天的基于瑜伽的慢性病预防和管理生活方式干预项目的慢性病患者，以及未参加任何此类干预的健康对照者（n = 45）。
干预结束时状态与特质焦虑问卷（STAI-Y；40项）、主观幸福感量表（SUBI；40项）和神经质外向性开放性经验五因素人格量表修订版（NEO-FF PI-R；60项）的变化。
干预后，第10天（66.7±13.0）的STAI-Y评分与第1天（72.5±14.7）相比显著降低（P<0.001）。此外，第10天与第1天相比，SUBI阳性评分（F1 - F6）显著改善（P<0.01）。同样，第10天与第1天相比，NEO-FF PI-R评分显著改善（P<0.001）。对照组的STAI-Y评分有所增加，而SUBI和NEO-FF PI-R评分在第10天与第1天保持相当。
观察结果表明，基于瑜伽的短期生活方式干预可能显著减轻慢性病患者的焦虑，改善其主观幸福感和人格。
