Abstract

The ultimate goal of yoga is to achieve peace by providing unity in mind and spirit. Therefore, it offers important opportunities to improve stress management and quality of life. This quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design aims to examine the effects of eight weeks of Hatha yoga on stress, life satisfaction and quality of life in nursing students. A total of 40 nursing students, including 22 in the experimental group and 18 in the control group, participated in the study. The data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Fisher's exact test was used to compare the descriptive characteristics of those in the experimental and control groups, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare the pre- and post-test results. After Hatha yoga, the stress scores of nursing students in the experimental group decreased significantly (p=0.001), and their life satisfaction scores (p=0.006), physical dimension of quality-of-life scores (p=0.014), and mental dimension of quality-of-life scores (p=0.012) increased significantly. However, there was no significant difference for those in the control group during the same period (p>0.050). These results suggest that Hatha yoga is an effective method to improve stress management, life satisfaction and quality of life among nursing students. It is recommended to conduct further studies with larger samples, including follow-up measurements.

Özet

Yoganın nihai amacı zihin ve ruhta bütünlük sağlayarak, huzur elde etmektir. Bu yönüyle stres yönetimi ve yaşam kalitesini geliştirmede önemli fırsatlar sunar. Yarı deneysel, kontrol gruplu, ön test- son test müdahale çalışması olarak gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma ile hemşirelik öğrencileri ile yapılan 8 haftalık Hatha yoganın stres, yaşam doyumu ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya deney grubunda 22, kontrol grubunda 18 olmak üzere toplam 40 öğrenci hemşire katılmış, veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres-21 Ölçeği Stres Boyutu, Yaşam Doyum Ölçeği ve SF-12 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Deney ve kontrol grubunun tanıtıcı özelliklerinin karşılaştırılmasında Fisher’s Exact Test kullanılmış, ön test-son test karşılaştırması Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test ile yapılmıştır. Deney grubunda Hatha yoga sonrasında son test ile ön test ölçümlerindeki değişim analiz edildiğinde öğrenci hemşirelerde stres puanlarının anlamlı düzeyde azaldığı (p=0,001), yaşam doyumlarının arttığı (p=0,006), yaşam kalitesi fiziksel boyut puanının arttığı (p=0,014) ve yaşam kalitesi mental boyut puanının arttığı (p=0,012) arttığı; kontrol grubunda ise aynı dönemde anlamlı farklılığın olmadığı görülmüştür (p>0,050). Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda Hatha yoganın öğrenci hemşirelerin stres yönetiminde, yaşam doyumu ve yaşam kalitelerini geliştirmede etkili bir yöntem olduğu söylenebilir. Daha geniş örneklemlerle, takip izlemlerini de içeren çalışmaların yapılması önerilir.
