| Summary: | Purpose. The study aimed to promote, foster, and cultivate psychological well-being among women during their postpartum phase and devise yoga-based interventions that enhance the psychological well-being of postpartum women.
Material and Method. A 'mood and self-esteem measure' was employed to evaluate 50 participants who had recently given birth at Annamalai University Hospitals in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India. In the yoga sessions, these individuals were randomly assigned to either a yoga group (N = 25) or a control group (N = 25) comprising 16 instructional units conducted over eight weeks. Those who completed the postpartum therapy and participated in the study received continuous supervision. The yoga sessions took place in a public setting, and the duration gradually increased from 25 minutes, including setup and conclusion, in the initial four weeks to 35 minutes from the fifth week to the eighth week.
Result. The group participating in yoga demonstrated significantly more pronounced improvements in depression, anger, and tension compared to the control group, indicating moderate to substantial benefits. Yoga therapy groups and control of anger (t=44.10 and.338) and the depression (t =74.789 and 1.653). Tension (t =24.608 and .428). The yoga therapy groups exhibited significant alterations.
Conclusion. The results endorse yoga as a potential complementary therapy for women in the postpartum phase. |
