The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in reports of increase in stress, anxiety, and depression across society, especially in people who have tested positive for COVID-19, which affects their mental health and well-being. This article reports a quasi-randomized controlled study conducted in the COVID wards of a hospital to examine the efficacy of add-on yoga intervention in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in COVID-affected patients under quarantine. The peripheral capillary oxygen saturation level and heart rate of the COVID-19-affected patients were also measured. A total of 62 COVID-19-positive patients participated in the study. The participants were randomized into a control group (n = 31), which received conventional medical treatment alone, and a yoga intervention group (n = 31), which received 50 minutes of yoga intervention along with the conventional medical treatment. Standardized Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7 Item, Patient Health Questionnaire–9, and Perceived Stress Scale were administered at the beginning and end of the quarantine period. A significant decrease in stress, anxiety, and depression was observed in the patients who undertook the add-on yoga intervention. There was also a significant decrease in anxiety in the control group, but the intervention group had a larger decrease compared to the control group. Further significant improvements in oxygen saturation and heart rate levels were observed in the group of patients who were practicing yoga, but no significant improvement was observed in the control group. Findings of this study suggest that yoga intervention can be an effective add-on practice in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression levels of COVID-19 patients.

“…As a result, blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate are reduced. Yoga practices balance all systems of the body, lowering anxiety and improving overall mood resulting in increased mental clarity, emotional stability, and a greater sense of well-being [ 18 , 19 ]. Yoganidra and meditative asanas also help decrease arousal, reduce anxiety, improve concentration, and keep the person focused [ 20 ].…”

Introduction: Anxiety and stress are challenging conditions that result in perturbation of the body's homeostasis. It disturbs one's physical and mental state of equilibrium. There are many ways to overcome anxiety and stress, however, the best among many remedies is yoganidra, as it achieves optimum functioning of not only our body but also our mind. Hence, the present study was planned to evaluate the impact of yoganidra practice on the anxiety levels of undergraduate students.Aims and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate physiological parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, measure anxiety levels by the general anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) inventory and Beck's anxiety questionnaire, conduct yoganidra sessions for all the students, and compare the effects of these training sessions on physiological parameters and anxiety scales.Materials and methods: The present study was carried out in the department of physiology, R.V.M. Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Center, Siddipet, and conducted on 125 students from first to final Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery who participated voluntarily and actively after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the members were assessed for physiological cardio-respiratory parameters followed by the GAD-7 scale and Beck's anxiety questionnaire pre-and post-yoganidra sessions.Results: There was a significant difference in blood pressure before and after the session, whereas the pulse rate and respiratory rate reduction after the session were highly significant. There was a highly significant reduction in GAD-7 anxiety score, from 12±3.41 to 5.80±2.56 (p<0.0001); while for Beck's score, there was a highly significant reduction in anxiety score of 20.83±0.73 after giving yoganidra training as opposed to the earlier score of 23.75±1.86 (p<0.0001).Conclusion: Yoganidra provides ways to manage stress and anxiety and enhance mental wellness. It is supported by research evidence as a safe and effective method to reduce anxiety.

“…It has been validated for primary care patients, as well as the general population (Mossman et al, 2017). Research has shown that GAD-7 shows excellent internal consistency and good test-retest reliability (Kamble et al, 2019). This scale has been used in the Indian setting for assessing anxiety earlier as well (Kamble et al, 2019;Katzman et al, 2012).…”

Background and aim: - Due to the spread of COVID-19 there have been reports of increase in stress, anxiety, and depression across the society, especially so in the affected people, impacting the mental health and well-being. This paper reports a quasi-randomized control study conducted in covid wards of a hospital, to examine the efficacy of add-on yoga intervention in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in the covid affected patients under quarantine. The oxygen saturation level (SPO2) and heart rate (HR) of the covid affected patients were also measured along with the stress.Experimental procedure: - A total of sixty-two COVID-19 positive patients participated in the study. The participants were randomized into the control group (n=31) which received conventional medical treatment alone and the yoga intervention group (n=31) which additionally received 50 minutes of yoga intervention along with conventional medical treatment. Standardized scales of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-14), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) were administered at the beginning as well as at the end of the quarantine period.Results: - A significant decrease in stress, anxiety and depression were observed in the patients who undertook the add-on yoga intervention. Also, improvement in SPO2 and HR levels were observed in the group of patients who were practicing yoga.Conclusion- Findings of this study suggest that add-on Yoga intervention can be an effective add-on practice in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression level of COVID-19 patients.
