In the past decades, more than fifty different yoga styles have been implemented in the therapeutic context to manage various diseases. Yet, not all of these yoga styles have been validated or standardized as a program. The aim of this article is to review the different methodologies used for yoga module development and to assess their quality. Three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched using the following keywords and Boolean operators: (validation OR development OR design) AND (yoga OR mind-body) AND (module OR protocol OR program). Three thousand six hundred and seventy-one articles were enlisted, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 37 articles were narrowed down for review. Since no checklist exists to assess the quality of yoga modules, the authors designed a 23-item checklist to categorize each having low, medium, or high quality. As per the yoga module quality checklist, only 21.6% of the studies had high quality, while 75.3% of the articles had medium quality and 8.11% had low quality. A commonly used development method was literature review, while for validation, experts' scoring of the Likert scale was the preferred means. The feasibility of the module was carried out only by half of the studies. Few diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, Parkinson's disease, and obesity had more than one yoga module developed. The findings of this systematic review have shed some light on the growing need for standardized methods of yoga module development. The 23-item checklist can guide researchers in the homogeneous development strategies when designing yoga interventions in the future.
在过去几十年里，五十多种不同的瑜伽风格已被应用于治疗领域以管理各种疾病。然而，并非所有这些瑜伽风格都已作为一个项目得到验证或标准化。本文的目的是回顾用于瑜伽模块开发的不同方法并评估其质量。使用以下关键词和布尔运算符搜索了三个数据库（PubMed、科学网和Scopus）：（验证或开发或设计）与（瑜伽或身心）与（模块或方案或项目）。共收录了3671篇文章，并根据纳入和排除标准，筛选出37篇文章进行综述。由于不存在评估瑜伽模块质量的清单，作者设计了一份包含23个条目的清单，将每个模块分为低质量、中等质量或高质量。根据瑜伽模块质量清单，只有21.6%的研究质量高，而75.3%的文章质量中等，8.11%的文章质量低。常用的开发方法是文献综述，而在验证方面，专家对李克特量表的评分是首选方法。只有一半的研究对模块的可行性进行了评估。很少有疾病，如心血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖症、帕金森病和肥胖症，开发了不止一个瑜伽模块。这项系统综述的结果揭示了对标准化瑜伽模块开发方法的需求日益增长。这份包含23个条目的清单可以在未来设计瑜伽干预措施时指导研究人员采用统一的开发策略。
