Given today's hurried and stressful heathcare system, nurses need mechanisms to take care of themselves, promote their own wellness, and build resilience in managing sick patients. Yoga is one such mechanism; it can decrease anxiety and improve sleep and quality of life. In this pilot study, nine nurses participated in 6 weekly sessions of yoga nidra. Measures of sleep, stress, and muscle fatigue were obtained to determine whether yoga had a positive impact upon quality of life and stress. Although based on a small sample of nurses, results indicated positive findings for both perceived stress level and muscle fatigue. This pilot study demonstrated the potential benefit of yoga in stress reduction, muscle tension, and self-care in nurses.
鉴于当今匆忙且充满压力的医疗保健系统，护士需要有自我照顾的机制，促进自身健康，并在护理患病患者时增强适应能力。瑜伽就是这样一种机制；它可以减轻焦虑，改善睡眠和生活质量。在这项试点研究中，九名护士参加了为期六周的瑜伽休息术课程。通过获取睡眠、压力和肌肉疲劳的测量数据，以确定瑜伽是否对生活质量和压力产生积极影响。尽管该研究基于少量护士样本，但结果表明在感知压力水平和肌肉疲劳方面均有积极发现。这项试点研究证明了瑜伽在减轻护士压力、缓解肌肉紧张和自我护理方面的潜在益处。
