Evidence concerning the effectiveness of yoga in partial hospital programs is limited. Yet, partial hospitals provide treatment at a critical juncture by bridging inpatient and outpatient care. The present study tested the effectiveness of a single-session group yoga intervention for short-term mood and psychiatric symptom change in participants attending a 1- to 2-week partial hospital program.
Participants included 104 partial hospital patients who participated in the single-session yoga intervention and completed a measure of positive/negative affect before and after the group. Participants, as well as partial hospital patients who did not attend the yoga intervention (n = 438), completed measures of depression and anxiety symptoms at admission and discharge from the program. At discharge, they also rated their perceived improvement and the overall quality of the care they received.
Participants who attended the yoga intervention experienced significant improvements in positive and negative affect during the group. They did not show greater improvements in symptoms of anxiety or depression over the course of treatment compared to individuals who did not attend the group. Yoga intervention participants nonetheless gave higher ratings to the quality of the care they received.
Findings demonstrated that attending a single yoga session during partial hospitalization was associated with short-term mood benefits, and with enhanced overall perceptions of treatment. Further research is needed to determine the conditions under which participation in yoga during partial hospitalization could contribute to symptom change in this context.

关于瑜伽在部分住院计划中有效性的证据有限。然而，部分医院通过连接住院和门诊治疗，在关键时刻提供治疗。本研究测试了单次团体瑜伽干预对参加 1 至 2 周部分住院计划的参与者短期情绪和精神症状变化的有效性。
参与者包括 104 名参加单次瑜伽干预的部分住院患者，并在团体前后完成了积极/消极情绪的测量。参与者以及未参加瑜伽干预的部分住院患者（n = 438）在入院和出院时完成了抑郁和焦虑症状的测量。在出院时，他们还对自己的感知改善和所接受的护理整体质量进行了评分。
参加瑜伽干预的参与者在团体期间经历了积极和消极情绪的显著改善。与未参加团体的个体相比，他们在治疗过程中并没有表现出焦虑或抑郁症状的更大改善。然而，瑜伽干预参与者对他们所接受的护理质量给予了更高的评价。
研究结果表明，在部分住院期间参加单次瑜伽课程与短期情绪改善以及整体治疗认知增强有关。需要进一步研究以确定在这种情况下，参加瑜伽课程对症状变化的影响的条件。
