Popis: | Introduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a specialized yoga intervention for inpatients in a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital.Design. Single-cohort repeated measures design.Methods. Participants (N=10) admitted to a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital were recruited to participate in a 50–60 min Hatha Yoga class (modified for wheelchair users/seated position) once a week for eight weeks, with assigned homework practice. Questionnaires on pain (pain, pain interference, and pain catastrophizing), psychological variables (depression, anxiety, and experiences with injustice), mindfulness, self-compassion, and spiritual well-being were collected at three intervals: pre-, mid-, and post-intervention.Results. Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed a significant main effect of time indicating improvements over the course of the yoga program on the (1) anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale,F(2,18)= 4.74,p<.05, andηp2= .35, (2) Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form,F(2,18)= 3.71,p<.05, andηp2= .29, and (3) Magnification subscale of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale,F(2,18)= 3. 66,p<.05, andηp2= .29.Discussion. The results suggest that an 8-week Hatha Yoga program improves pain-related factors and psychological experiences in individuals admitted to a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital. |
