The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has taken a toll on the well-being and quality of life (QoL) of healthcare professionals, especially nurses. Insomnia, a common consequence of the pandemic, adds to the physical and mental strain on healthcare workers.
This study aimed to assess the impact of workplace yoga intervention on insomnia severity and QoL among female nursing and healthcare professionals during the pandemic.
A pre-post-interventional study was conducted among 173 nursing professionals working in a hospital setting. Baseline assessments collected age, body mass index (BMI), insomnia severity using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and QoL using the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF). A 6-week workplace yoga intervention was conducted by trained professionals, followed by posttest assessments.
Among 173 participants, 57 had insomnia. Participants without significant insomnia had higher QoL scores ( < 0.001). Following the yoga intervention, both subthreshold and moderate clinical insomnia groups experienced reduced insomnia severity ( < 0.001). Quality-of-life scores in the physical, psychological, and environmental domains improved significantly ( < 0.05).
Workplace yoga intervention appears to be a promising approach to alleviate insomnia and enhance QoL among female nursing and healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing tailored workplace yoga programs can play a crucial role in promoting the well-being and resilience of healthcare workers, contributing to a positive work environment and improved patient care outcomes.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对医护人员，尤其是护士的健康和生活质量造成了影响。失眠是大流行的常见后果，增加了医护人员的身心压力。
本研究旨在评估工作场所瑜伽干预对大流行期间女性护理和医护专业人员失眠严重程度和生活质量的影响。
对173名在医院工作的护理专业人员进行了干预前后研究。基线评估收集了年龄、体重指数（BMI）、使用失眠严重程度指数（ISI）评估的失眠严重程度，以及使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-BREF）评估的生活质量。由训练有素的专业人员进行为期6周的工作场所瑜伽干预，随后进行测试后评估。
在173名参与者中，57人有失眠症状。没有明显失眠的参与者生活质量得分更高（<0.001）。瑜伽干预后，亚阈值和中度临床失眠组的失眠严重程度均有所降低（<0.001）。身体、心理和环境领域的生活质量得分显著提高（<0.05）。
在COVID-19大流行期间，工作场所瑜伽干预似乎是减轻女性护理和医护专业人员失眠并提高生活质量的一种有前景的方法。实施量身定制的工作场所瑜伽计划可以在促进医护人员的健康和恢复力方面发挥关键作用，有助于营造积极的工作环境并改善患者护理结果。
