Occupation-related Stress Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Yoga on Work-related Stress and Stress Adaption Among the Professional Helpers of Psychiatry
This study will investigate if yoga exercises decrease work-related stress and improve stress adaptation in professional health helpers.
Mental health professional helpers including psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social
workers and occupational therapists often call upon to maintain a good working attitude and
enthusiasm, especially in the face of the evaluators of credential systems as well as
supervisors' authorities. The symptoms of work-related stress of professional helpers
developed day by days and affected their physical and mental health. Gradually, the
professional helpers burned out. Philip Burnard (1991) mentioned professional helpers might
self-neglect while helping others. These would lead to over work related stress that
directly affects the physical and mental health of the professional helpers, and indirectly
affects the organization to take care of the patients and their families.
According to researchers and personal experience, colleagues of mental health care developed
work-related stress symptoms, such as insomnia or sleep disorder, the physiological
disorders, weight fluctuations, irritable or depressed while taking care of psychiatric
patients. They might take tranquilizers in order to maintain the quality of work. On the
other hand, in April 2012, the researchers engaged in yoga teaching, assisting mental health
care to help others of engaging in yoga practice showed that members perceived positive
feelings after the yoga practice: "the mood is more relaxed," "tight body become more
relaxed and soft resulting in awareness of tension and unease. This helps to modify
long-term adverse stances and reduce body aches and/or sitting." For this reason,
researchers began to apply yoga to the release work-related stress and enhance stress
adaptation. Professional health helpers look forward to practice yoga exercises to relax
work-related stress and improve stress adaptation.
It is a parallel-arm randomized control trial compare the outcome of participants assign to
the experimental treatment group (yoga, with 30 participants) with those assign to a control
group for 3 months (12 weeks). Experimental group receive regular 60-minutes yoga classes
twice a week. We confer the difference of work-related stress relief and stress adaptation
and biofeedback improvement after yoga.
