目的:肥胖是体内脂肪组织增加的一种情况,通常与糖尿病等各种合并症有关,高血压,关节炎,背痛,和许多其他人。瑜伽模块已经针对肥胖进行了设计和验证;然而,我们找不到任何特定的代谢综合征模块,包括肥胖在内的疾病,2型糖尿病和/或高血压。记住这一点,我们的研究旨在为代谢综合征患者开发和验证一个特定的基于瑜伽的通用干预模块.
方法:根据传统和当代瑜伽文献以及已发表的研究,设计了一个瑜伽模块。我们推导了该模块的瑜伽练习,从这些瑜伽文本和研究证据已经可用。瑜伽模块已发送给40位瑜伽专家进行验证。
结果:22位专家对瑜伽模块对代谢综合征患者的有用性提出了一些建议。在这些专家中,73%是男性,27%是女性。内容有效性比(CVR)>0.08的瑜伽治疗实践包括在最终模块中。总的来说,保留了初始模块中86%(36个项目中的31个)的项目。
结论:设计了一种基于瑜伽的代谢综合征特定模块,并由专家进行了验证。需要进一步的研究来确认该模块的功效和临床实用性。建议进行额外的临床验证。
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a condition of increased adipose tissue in the body, which is commonly associated with various comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, back pain, and many others. Yoga modules have been designed and validated for obesity; however, we couldn\'t find any specific module for metabolic syndrome, a condition which includes obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 and/or hypertension together. Keeping this in view, our study aimed to develop and validate a specific generic yoga-based intervention module for metabolic syndrome patients.
METHODS: A yoga module was designed based on traditional and contemporary yoga literature as well as published studies. We derived the yoga practices for the module, from these yoga texts and research evidence were already available. The yoga module was sent to 40 yoga experts for their validation.
RESULTS: Twenty-two experts gave their opinion on the usefulness of a yoga module for patients with metabolic syndrome with some suggestions. Of these experts, 73% were males, and 27% were females. Yoga therapy practices with content validity ratio (CVR) >0.08 were included in the final module. In total, 86% (31 of 36 items) of the items in the initial module were retained.
CONCLUSIONS: A specific yoga-based module for metabolic syndrome was designed and validated by experts. Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and clinical utility of the module.Additional clinical validation is suggested.
