简要总结
This study is evaluating a group-based therapeutic yoga program for burnout. This study aims to understand the feasibility of running the program (i.e. of recruiting participants, the resources required to run the program, etc) and the effectiveness of the program (i.e. in decreasing participants' mental health symptoms).
详细描述
A primary care group-based therapeutic yoga program, the Yoga MD program, was developed by a primary care / emergency physician practicing in Toronto, Ontario. The program was started in 2014 and is run through a medical centre in Toronto, Ontario. The purposes of the program are to understand:
- key concepts of yoga, mindfulness, compassion, acceptance and how these can help with personal transformation
- how stress is carried in the body (embodiment of stress) and how stress manifests as anxiety, pain, or other symptoms
- what happens when stress accumulates in the body
- the role of self-compassion in the response to stress
- how to cope with difficult emotions that may contribute to stress
- how to deal with difficult people and trying relationships
- the importance of connecting with, and caring for ourselves to reduce accumulated stress
- how to solidify healthier patterns to build resilience to stress faced in daily life.
This study evaluates the 9 weekly sessions using a before-after interventional design. Participants have data collected at baseline, and at 9 weeks and 8 months after the yoga program ends, and changes in mental health outcomes are observed.

结局指标
主要结局
Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD-7)
时间窗: Change from baseline each week until 9 weeks and at 8 months post-baseline
The GAD-7 is a validated instrument for the diagnosis and treatment response of anxiety disorders (Spitzer et al., 2006; Hinz et al., 2017). It is comprised of 7 questions with 4 answer options, ranging from "not at all" to "nearly every day"and scored 0-3 with a total score ranging from 0-21 (Spitzer et al., 2006). Scores of 5-9, 10-14, and 15-21 represent mild, moderate and severe generalized anxiety disorder, respectively. In the primary care setting, the GAD-7 has high diagnostic validity, with a threshold of 10 exhibiting a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 82% for generalized anxiety disorder (Spitzer et al., 2006). Other conditions related to generalized anxiety disorder including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder have also been sensitive to a GAD-7 score of 10 (Kroenke et al., 2007).
