简要总结
To investigate the effect of yoga-based exercises therapy on functional capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality in healthcare professionals following COVID-19.
详细描述
Twenty-six healthcare professionals who were diagnosed with COVID-19, whose treatments were completed, and who were actively working during the subacute period with ongoing complaints were included in the study. The exercises program consisting of stretching, relaxation, isometric strengthening, breathing, and meditation exercises were given to the healthcare professionals under a 60-minute yoga-based exercises program held twice a week for a period of eight weeks. Flexibility and muscle strength measurements of the patients were calculated by the sit and reach test, shoulder flexibility test, and a hand dynamometer. Functional capacity was evaluated with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), physical activity and dyspnea severity with the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, depression and anxiety level with the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory, the quality of life with the SF-36, and sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

结局指标
主要结局
modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale
时间窗: eight week
The mMRC scale is a self-rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day-to-day activities on a scale from 0 to 4: 0, no breathlessness except on strenuous exercise; 1, shortness of breath when hurrying on the level or walking up a slight hill; 2, walks slower than people of same age on the level because of breathlessness or has to stop to catch breath when walking at their own pace on the level; 3, stops for breath after walking ∼100 m or after few minutes on the level; and 4, too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing or undressing
Six minute walk test
时间窗: eight week
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity
次要结局
- Beck Anxiety Inventory(eight week)
