The module was designed and developed at Heartfulness Institute, Kanha Shanti Vanam, Hyderabad. The Department of Medicine, MGM Medical College & Hospital, MGMIHS, Navi Mumbai, carried out the validation and subsequently pilot-tested on volunteers. Forty experts were selected to validate the contents of IAHFNM & YP which was designed after a thorough review of meditation and yoga literature. A total of 23 items were included, and each item was rated as essential or not essential by the experts, based on which the content validity ratio (CVR), Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI), and Scale-Level Content Validity Index Average (S-CVI/Ave) were calculated. Reliability analysis and a pilot study for the feasibility of IAHFNM & YP for hypertensive patients were also done. All 23 practices exhibited significant CVR (≥ 0.29), I-CVI (> 0.79), and S-CVI/Ave (> 0.9); thus, the tool was found to have valid contents. Cronbach's alpha value for the tool was 0.95 which was highly reliable. Feasibility analysis in hypertensive participants showed that the tool is reliable and implementable. The IAHFNM & YP tool designed for hypertensive patients is valid, reliable, and feasible. The patients showed a willingness to continue with heartfulness meditation and yoga practices for participation in research for a longer duration. Further studies to confirm the tool's efficacy should be conducted with a large sample size. CTRI/2024/01/061035.
该模块由位于海得拉巴坎哈·尚蒂瓦纳姆的心灵修养学院设计开发。孟买新市镇MGMIHS的MGM医学院及医院医学部进行了验证，并随后在志愿者身上进行了试点测试。挑选了40名专家对IAHFNM和YP的内容进行验证，IAHFNM和YP是在对冥想和瑜伽文献进行全面审查后设计的。总共纳入了23个项目，专家们根据每个项目是否必不可少进行评分，据此计算内容效度比（CVR）、项目级内容效度指数（I-CVI）和量表级内容效度指数平均值（S-CVI/Ave）。还对IAHFNM和YP对高血压患者的可行性进行了可靠性分析和试点研究。所有23种做法均表现出显著的CVR（≥0.29）、I-CVI（>0.79）和S-CVI/Ave（>0.9）；因此，该工具被发现具有有效的内容。该工具的克朗巴哈系数值为0.95，具有高度可靠性。对高血压参与者的可行性分析表明，该工具可靠且可实施。为高血压患者设计的IAHFNM和YP工具是有效、可靠且可行的。患者表示愿意继续进行心灵修养冥想和瑜伽练习，以便参与更长时间的研究。应进行进一步的研究，以大样本量来证实该工具的疗效。CTRI/2024/01/061035。
