The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the daily practice of a yoga therapy program learnt during a single session of an integrated yoga intervention that was developed by us as a stress management tool for school employees.
Ninety school employees.
Case-control study. Three months after the intervention, the subjects were assigned to a daily practice group (case: n=43) and a nonconsecutive daily practice group (control: n=47) according to their daily practice level of the yoga therapy program.
The subjects participated in a stress management education program based on an integrated yoga therapy session. The program included psychological education and counseling about stress management and yoga theories, as well as the practices of asanas, pranayama, relaxation, and cognitive structure based on Indian philosophy.
Assessments were performed before and after the program using the Subjective Units of Distress for mind and body and the Two-Dimensional Mood Scale. The General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ28) was used to assess the mental health state before the intervention and at 3 months after the program.
The subjects showed significant increases in their levels of calmness, comfort, and cheerfulness (p<0.001) and significant decreases in cognitive mind and body stress (p<0.001) after participating in the integrated yoga program. A comparison of the total scores on the GHQ28 using a two-way analysis of variance showed significant differences between the two groups in terms of both interaction (p=0.047) and the main effect (p=0.026).
The present results suggested that a single session of an integrated yoga program was effective for reducing stress and that the mental health of school employees was promoted by the daily practice of the yoga therapy program.
本研究旨在评估我们开发的作为学校员工压力管理工具的综合瑜伽干预单次课程中学到的瑜伽疗法项目每日练习的效果。
90名学校员工。
病例对照研究。干预三个月后，根据他们对瑜伽疗法项目的每日练习水平，将受试者分为每日练习组（病例组：n = 43）和非连续每日练习组（对照组：n = 47）。
受试者参加了基于综合瑜伽疗法课程的压力管理教育项目。该项目包括关于压力管理和瑜伽理论的心理教育与咨询，以及体式、呼吸控制法、放松练习和基于印度哲学的认知结构练习。
在项目前后使用身心痛苦主观单位和二维情绪量表进行评估。使用一般健康问卷28（GHQ28）评估干预前和项目后3个月的心理健康状况。
参加综合瑜伽项目后，受试者的平静、舒适和愉悦水平显著提高（p < 0.001），身心认知压力显著降低（p < 0.001）。使用双向方差分析对GHQ28总分进行比较，结果显示两组在交互作用（p = 0.047）和主效应（p = 0.026）方面均存在显著差异。
目前的结果表明，单次综合瑜伽项目对减轻压力有效，且瑜伽疗法项目的每日练习促进了学校员工的心理健康。
