The study investigates the effects of a mindfulness-based yoga practice on stress, burnout and well-being in nurses and healthcare professionals.
The intervention group participated in weekly yoga classes and practiced independently, while the control group did not participate in yoga.
Participants completed questionnaires before and after the intervention and underwent physiological examinations. The results showed significant improvements in self-reported stress, burnout, vitality, sleep quality, calmness and mindfulness in the yoga group compared to the control group.
However, there were no significant changes in daily cortisol levels or blood pressure.
The study suggests that mindfulness-based yoga can have a positive impact on the health and well-being of nurses and healthcare professionals.
