Academic stress can exert severe stress in adolescents answering their career deciding board exams. The present study attempted to understand the efficacy of Yoga Nidra (YN) in mitigating psychosocial stress.
and Methods: This study was carried on 10th-grade students (ages 14 to 16) and had two arms, one performing YN (experimental) and the other without YN (control) for 21 consecutive days. Modified Adolescent Stress Questionnaire (ASQ-I) was used to assess the stress in the students before and after the intervention.
The results indicate that performing YN was effective and significantly decreased the total stress (P < 0.001) and vital domains like the stress of home life (P < 0.005), school performance (P < 0.026), teacher interaction (P < 0.024), future uncertainty (P < 0.001), school and leisure conflict (P < 0.001). Also, at the end of the study in control, low and moderate stress was observed in 58.06% and 41.93%, while in the YN group, it was 96.15% and 3.85% and was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
This study shows that YN effectively reduced psychosocial stress in adolescents and could be useful in school curriculum.
学术压力会给正应对升学考试的青少年带来严重的压力。本研究旨在探究瑜伽睡眠(YN)对减轻心理社会压力的效果。
本研究以 10 年级学生(14-16 岁)为对象,共分为两组,实验组进行 21 天的连续 YN 练习,对照组不进行 YN 练习。采用改良青少年压力问卷(ASQ-I)评估学生在干预前后的压力状况。
研究结果表明,进行 YN 练习对减轻学生的总体压力非常有效(P<0.001),对家庭生活压力(P<0.005)、学业表现压力(P<0.026)、师生互动压力(P<0.024)、未来不确定性压力(P<0.001)、学校与休闲冲突压力(P<0.001)等重要领域的压力均有显著降低作用。此外,在研究结束时,对照组中有 58.06%的学生和 41.93%的学生处于轻度和中度压力状态,而在 YN 组中,分别有 96.15%和 3.85%的学生处于这种状态,差异具有统计学意义(p<0.001)。
本研究表明,YN 可有效减轻青少年的心理社会压力,可纳入学校课程。
