简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate if yoga can be an effective stress management technique for health care personnel.
详细描述
Stress, both job related and personal, is an increasing problem in the health care sector. Yoga is said to have a good stress-reducing effect.
The participants will provide blood, urine, and saliva samples. They will take part in two different stress tests. They will also fill in various qualitative questionnaires, including the Swedish questionnaire on health related quality of life (SWEDQUAL), Antonovsky's sense of coherence scale (KASAM), and the Job stress survey (JSS), both before the study starts and after 3 months of participation.
