Popis: Caregiving for cancer patients is a demanding role that often leads to significant psychological distress. This study aims to explore the impact of yoga on caregiver resilience and psychological distress in the context of cancer care. We have found that yoga, as a mind-body practice, effectively mitigates stress, cultivates self-compassion, and equips caregivers with tools for navigating their demanding roles. The results reveal that incorporating yoga enhances caregiver well-being, highlighting its positive correlation with improved patient outcomes. This study underscores the holistic benefits of integrating yoga within a One Health approach to enhance overall caregiving dynamics.
