背景:一线医护人员在大流行期间面临心理困扰的风险。瑜伽,一种身心医学可以减轻身体压力,增加幸福感。
目的:评估在COVID-19大流行期间瑜伽对医护人员压力和幸福感的影响。
方法:这项单臂事后研究是在一线卫生工作者中进行的(支持人员,护理人员,和医务人员)张贴在北印度地区的二级保健医院。
方法:基本人口统计详细信息,血压,人体测量变量,如身高,体重,和生化变量如糖化血红蛋白(Hb1Ac),空腹和餐后血糖,血脂谱,血清皮质醇,测量C反应蛋白。使用抑郁焦虑和压力量表(DASS)-21评估压力水平,同时使用世界卫生组织(WHO)-5幸福感量表评估幸福感。提供12周的监督瑜伽课程,每次1小时,每周3次。
方法:用配对t检验/Wilcoxon符号秩检验比较从基线到干预后的平均值。
结果:共有89名参与者参加,男性53(59.5%)。三分之二的参与者年龄在20-39岁之间。随访期间,80名参与者完成了为期12周的瑜伽课程。干预后DASS-21评分下降,WHO-5评分显著上升。糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平和胆固醇-HDL比值显著下降。其他变量没有显著变化。参与者没有报告不良反应。
结论:有监督的结构化瑜伽课程有助于减轻压力,抑郁症,焦虑和改善幸福感。因此,这可能是一个可行的策略来管理与工作场所相关的压力和植物学疾病。
BACKGROUND: Frontline healthcare workers are at risk of developing psychological distress during a pandemic. Yoga, a form of mind-body medicine can reduce body stress and increases well-being.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of yoga on the stress and well-being of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: This single-arm pre-post study was conducted among
frontline health workers (support staff, paramedics, and medics) posted at a secondary care hospital in a North Indian district.
METHODS: Basic demographic details, blood pressure, anthropometric variables like height, weight, and biochemical variables like glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac), fasting and post-prandial blood sugar, lipid profile, serum cortisol, and C-reactive protein were measured. Stress levels were assessed using the depression anxiety and stress scale (DASS)-21 while well-being was assessed using the World Health Organization (WHO)-5 well-being scale. Twelve weeks of supervised yoga session was provided for 1 hour per session, 3 times per week.
METHODS: The mean value was compared from baseline to post-intervention with paired t-test/Wilcoxon signed rank test.
RESULTS: A total of 89 participants were enrolled, 53 (59.5%) being male. Two-thirds of the participants were aged 20-39 years. During follow-up, 80 participants completed 12 weeks of yoga sessions. Post-intervention DASS-21 score decreased and WHO-5 increased significantly. The glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and cholesterol-HDL ratio decreased significantly. Other variables didn\'t change significantly. No adverse effects were reported by the participants.
CONCLUSIONS: Supervised structured yoga sessions helped decrease stress, depression, and anxiety and improved well-being. Therefore, it can be a feasible strategy to manage workplace-related stress and phycological morbidities.
