“…However, some studies report a significant increase in participants’ knowledge after the implementation of an education intervention. 22,23 The results from these studies are consistent with the findings from our study. When pharmacy students received education on yoga therapy as complementary medication, increases in post-education knowledge scores (1.43 ± .9 before the education intervention to 5.69 ± 1.65 after the intervention occurred, P < .001), suggested that the educational intervention increased pharmacy students' knowledge of yoga therapy.…”

“…When pharmacy students received education on yoga therapy as complementary medication, increases in post-education knowledge scores (1.43 ± .9 before the education intervention to 5.69 ± 1.65 after the intervention occurred, P < .001), suggested that the educational intervention increased pharmacy students' knowledge of yoga therapy. 22 These measured benefits were only reported in the short term as they were immediately measured post-intervention. Similarly, a study by Le et al recently demonstrated an increased accuracy and appropriateness of pharmacists’ tobramycin pharmacokinetics knowledge and therapeutic drug monitoring dose recommendations post-educational intervention.…”

Background: Without specific pharmaceutical knowledge in specialist areas such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) management, pharmacists may lack the ability and confidence to provide optimal pharmaceutical care and optimization of outcomes. Objective: To develop a pharmacy-specific, foundational HIV education and assessment package, and assess impact on pharmacist knowledge and confidence. Methods: A foundational HIV education package with assessment was developed. Participants’ baseline knowledge and self-reported confidence in HIV management were determined via an anonymous online questionnaire. Only participants who completed the pre-education questionnaire were then provided access to the self-paced, online education package. Participants completed a second questionnaire after completion of the package at a time of their choosing, within 2 months of the first questionnaire completion. Both questionnaires were similar in knowledge difficulty and addressed similar clinical domains. Mean differences in knowledge and confidence levels were analyzed, with further subgroup analyses of knowledge categories. Results: A total of 57 pharmacists completed both questionnaires. HIV knowledge was higher post-education compared with pre-education (mean correct score of 83.7% and 56.5% respectively, P < .001). The mean self-rated confidence of pharmacists in managing medications of people living with HIV, was higher post-education (73.3%) compared with pre-education (33.9%) ( P < .001). Conclusion: The use of a pharmacy-specific, foundational HIV management education package significantly increased pharmacist knowledge in HIV management and improved self-reported confidence in the management of this specialty area. Future studies should assess the sustained impact of educational materials on pharmacist knowledge and confidence and investigate translation into improved outcomes for people living with HIV.

“…Meditation and yoga boost self-esteem and internalized locus of control by reducing the impacts of stress on the students and promoting serenity and tranquility, battling despair and anxiety, counteracting helplessness and weakness 24 . Many studies have been done to know the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of yoga among college students 13,[25][26][27][28] . To the best of our literature search, only very few studies on simplified kundalini yoga.…”

Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Simplified physical exercises, simplified Kundalini meditation, Kayakalpa practice, and introspection are its components. Health professionals consider yoga for skeletal symptoms, followed by psychological and physical ailments. Stress is a common issue for college students during their undergraduate studies. Short-term yoga has been proven to help pupils feel less stressed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate college students' knowledge, attitudes and practice of (KAP) Simplified Kundalini Yoga. A secondary objective was to compare KAP among medical, paramedical and non-medical students in Tamilnadu, India. A cross-sectional web-based online survey among the medical, paramedical and non-medical students were conducted. A semi-structured questionnaire using a non-probability volunteers sampling technique was used in this study. There were 323 responses in total: 101 medical students (40 males and 61 females), 100 paramedical students (19 males and 81 females), and 122 non-medical students (1 male and 121 females). All participants were given a pre-tested questionnaire about their awareness, attitudes, and practices related to SKY. The data collected were entered in MS Excel and presented in tables and graphs. Significant results were subjected to tests of significance like the Chisquare test at a 5% level of significance. In general, only 6.5% of them have adequate knowledge scores, 26 % of them have a good level of attitude score, and 8.7% of them have a good level of practice score. More than 80-90% of students lack knowledge, attitude and practice of SKY. Reasons for not taking up yoga were mainly lack of interest, laziness and poor time management. The study concluded that students have a positive outlook towards simplified Kundalini yoga but need motivation.

“…Apart from that, yoga possesses an inimitable calming and peaceful sensation [ 8 ], useful in numerous aspects of well-being, including anxiety and stress management, sleep, diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, cancer, and body balance [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Recently, yoga has risen in popularity among university students for handling anxiety and stress [ 1 , 2 , 7 , 12 ]. However, incorrect ways of practicing yoga can cause significant injuries such as strokes and other physical risks.…”

A Novel Smart Belt for Anxiety Detection, Classification, and Reduction Using IIoMT on Students’ Cardiac Signal and MSY

et al. 2022

The prevalence of anxiety among university students is increasing, resulting in the negative impact on their academic and social (behavioral and emotional) development. In order for students to have competitive academic performance, the cognitive function should be strengthened by detecting and handling anxiety. Over a period of 6 weeks, this study examined how to detect anxiety and how Mano Shakti Yoga (MSY) helps reduce anxiety. Relying on cardiac signals, this study follows an integrated detection-estimation-reduction framework for anxiety using the Intelligent Internet of Medical Things (IIoMT) and MSY. IIoMT is the integration of Internet of Medical Things (wearable smart belt) and machine learning algorithms (Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and AdaBoost (AB)). Sixty-six eligible students were selected as experiencing anxiety detected based on the results of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) questionnaire and a smart belt. Then, the students were divided randomly into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group followed an MSY intervention for one hour twice a week, while the control group followed their own daily routine. Machine learning algorithms are used to analyze the data obtained from the smart belt. MSY is an alternative improvement for the immune system that helps reduce anxiety. All the results illustrate that the experimental group reduced anxiety with a significant (p < 0.05) difference in group × time interaction compared to the control group. The intelligent techniques achieved maximum accuracy of 80% on using RF algorithm. Thus, students can practice MSY and concentrate on their objectives by improving their intelligence, attention, and memory.
