Student nurses' experience of stress while enrolled in educational programs is well-documented; however, complementary and alternative therapies to alleviate or prevent nursing program-related stressors are not. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of a yoga intervention on stress, self-compassion, and quality of life in undergraduate nursing students.
Seventy-three undergraduate nursing students participated in this two-group, quasi-experimental, repeated-measures, study. Students self-selected participation in a one-hour yoga class, offered each week for 12 weeks, and completed Stress, Self-Compassion, and QOL scales at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Information on intervention participation and yoga practice outside the intervention was also solicited. Descriptive statistics and mixed-model analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.
There were no statistically significant differences between groups over time on perceived stress or QOL. There were statistically significant differences between groups on self-kindness (F3, 69 = 3.86, = 0.013).
Further research on the effects of yoga for stress reduction in nursing students using randomized controlled trials is recommended.
学生护士在参加教育项目期间所经历的压力已有充分记录；然而，缓解或预防与护理项目相关压力源的补充和替代疗法却未得到充分研究。本研究的目的是探讨瑜伽干预对本科护理学生的压力、自我同情和生活质量的影响。
73名本科护理学生参与了这项两组、准实验、重复测量研究。学生自行选择参加每周一次、为期12周的一小时瑜伽课程，并在基线、第6周和第12周完成压力、自我同情和生活质量量表。同时还收集了关于干预参与情况以及干预之外的瑜伽练习信息。使用描述性统计和混合模型方差分析来分析数据。
随着时间推移，两组在感知压力或生活质量方面没有统计学上的显著差异。在自我友善方面，两组之间存在统计学上的显著差异（F3, 69 = 3.86, = 0.013）。
建议使用随机对照试验进一步研究瑜伽对护理学生减轻压力的效果。
