The promotion of self-care and the prevention of burnout among nurses is a public health priority. Evidence supports the efficacy of yoga to improve physical and mental health outcomes, but few studies have examined the influence of yoga on nurse-specific outcomes. The purpose of this pilot-level randomized controlled trial was to examine the efficacy of yoga to improve self-care and reduce burnout among nurses. Compared with controls (n = 20), yoga participants (n = 20) reported significantly higher self-care as well as less emotional exhaustion and depersonalization upon completion of an 8-week yoga intervention. Although the control group demonstrated no change throughout the course of the study, the yoga group showed a significant improvement in scores from pre- to post-intervention for self-care (p < .001), mindfulness (p = .028), emotional exhaustion (p = .008), and depersonalization (p = .007) outcomes. Implications for practice are discussed.
促进护士的自我护理和预防职业倦怠是一项公共卫生重点工作。有证据支持瑜伽对改善身心健康状况的功效，但很少有研究探讨瑜伽对护士特定结局的影响。这项试点水平的随机对照试验的目的是检验瑜伽改善护士自我护理和减少职业倦怠的功效。与对照组（n = 20）相比，参与瑜伽课程的人员（n = 20）在完成为期8周的瑜伽干预后，自我护理水平显著更高，情绪耗竭和去个性化程度更低。尽管对照组在整个研究过程中没有变化，但瑜伽组在干预前后的自我护理（p < .001）、正念（p = .028）、情绪耗竭（p = .008）和去个性化（p = .007）结局得分上有显著改善。文中还讨论了对实践的启示。
