Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<b style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Context</span></b><b style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Nursing students experience high level of stress which negatively influences the wellbeing and self-satisfaction. Mindfulness based interventions and exercise regimes demonstrate beneficial effects improving wellbeing. Though Yoga a multi dimensional intervention has a potential role in furthering the wellbeing by means of stress reduction and tranquilisation , the empirical data in this regard is still lacking. Hence the present study in this direction.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:3.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:3.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;@Batang&quot;">Aim:<i> </i></span></b><em><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">To test the efficacy of yoga on self-satisfaction and mental wellbeing on nursing students.</span></em><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;@Batang&quot;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;@Batang&quot;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;@Batang&quot;">Setting and Design:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;@Batang&quot;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">The study was carried out in a hospital settings by following a one</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">group pre</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">t</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">est </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">p</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">ostt</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">e</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">st pre</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;">-</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&#10;&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">experimental design. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">Statistical Analysis:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;&#10;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"> T</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">he quantitative data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics, paired t</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;MS Gothic&quot;;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:&#10;Arial">‑</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">tests,&nbsp; and Cohen&rsquo;s d.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;&#10;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Results:</span></b><em><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;@Batang&quot;"> </span></em><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif">The effect of yoga on the participants was high in case of self-satisfaction, whereas moderate on mental wellbeing.
