The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze and summarize the current knowledge regarding the use of yoga to manage and prevent stress and burnout in healthcare workers. In February 2017, a literature search was conducted using the databases Medline (PubMed) and Scopus. Studies that addressed this topic were included. Eleven articles met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies were clinical trials that analyzed yoga interventions and evaluated effectiveness by gauging stress levels, sleep quality and quality of life. A study on Chinese nurses showed statistical improvement in stress levels following a six-month yoga program (χ2 = 16.449; < 0.001). A population of medical students showed improvement in self-regulation values after an 11-week yoga program (from 3.49 to 3.58; = 0.04) and in self-compassion values (from 2.88 to 3.25; = 0.04). Four of the included articles were observational studies: They described the factors that cause stress in the work environment and highlighted that healthcare workers believe it is possible to benefit from improved physical, emotional and mental health related to yoga activity. According to the literature, yoga appears to be effective in the management of stress in healthcare workers, but it is necessary to implement methodologically relevant studies to attribute significance to such evidence.
本系统评价的目的是分析和总结目前关于使用瑜伽来管理和预防医护人员压力与职业倦怠的知识。2017年2月，使用Medline（PubMed）和Scopus数据库进行了文献检索。纳入了涉及该主题的研究。11篇文章符合纳入标准。7项研究为临床试验，分析了瑜伽干预措施，并通过测量压力水平、睡眠质量和生活质量来评估效果。一项针对中国护士的研究表明，在进行为期6个月的瑜伽项目后，压力水平有统计学上的改善（χ2 = 16.449；P < 0.001）。一群医学生在进行为期11周的瑜伽项目后，自我调节值有所改善（从3.49提高到3.58；P = 0.04），自我同情值也有所改善（从2.88提高到3.25；P = 0.04）。纳入的文章中有4篇是观察性研究：它们描述了工作环境中导致压力的因素，并强调医护人员认为有可能从与瑜伽活动相关的身体、情感和心理健康改善中获益。根据文献，瑜伽似乎对管理医护人员的压力有效，但有必要开展方法学上相关的研究，以使此类证据具有重要意义。
