Demanding work-life and excessive workload, the conflict between professional and personal lives, problems with patients and those related to the occurrence of death and high risk for their own life are a few factors causing burnout, disengagement, and dissatisfaction in the professional lives of healthcare professionals (HCPs). The situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is of utmost importance to find effective solutions to mitigate the stress and anxiety adversely affecting the mental well-being and professional lives of HCPs. This study was designed to examine the efficacy of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) for alleviating work exhaustion, improving Professional Fulfillment, and influencing positivity among HCPs during COVID-19. In a comparative observation before the intervention (Pre), after the intervention (Post), and 30 days after the intervention (Day 30) in the Experimental Group (29 physicians) and Control Group (27 physicians), it was found that immediately after SKY, HCPs experienced a significant improvement in Professional Fulfillment ( = 0.009), work exhaustion (0.008), positive affect ( = 0.02), and negative affect ( < 0.001) compared to the Control Group. The effect of SKY continued until Day 30 for Professional Fulfillment and had positive and negative effects. Findings suggest that SKY elevated Professional Fulfillment among HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced their work exhaustion and the negative effect on their mental health. SKY can aid HCPs in maintaining their well-being when faced with unprecedented challenges.
工作与生活要求苛刻、工作量过大、职业生活与个人生活之间的冲突、与患者相关的问题以及涉及死亡的情况和自身生命的高风险，是导致医疗保健专业人员（HCPs）职业生活中出现倦怠、脱离工作状态和不满情绪的几个因素。在新冠疫情期间，情况变得更糟。找到有效的解决办法以减轻对HCPs心理健康和职业生活产生不利影响的压力和焦虑至关重要。本研究旨在检验在新冠疫情期间，苏达山克里亚瑜伽（SKY）对减轻HCPs工作疲劳、提高职业成就感以及影响其积极情绪的效果。在实验组（29名医生）和对照组（27名医生）干预前（Pre）、干预后（Post）以及干预后30天（第30天）进行的对比观察中发现，与对照组相比，在进行SKY后，HCPs在职业成就感（ = 0.009）、工作疲劳（0.008）、积极情绪（ = 0.02）和消极情绪（ < 0.001）方面立即有了显著改善。SKY的效果持续到第30天，对职业成就感有积极和消极影响。研究结果表明，在新冠疫情期间，SKY提高了HCPs的职业成就感，减轻了他们的工作疲劳以及对其心理健康的负面影响。当面临前所未有的挑战时，SKY可以帮助HCPs保持良好的状态。
