Summary

This study looks at whether a 10-week workplace yoga program can help healthcare workers feel less burned out and stressed. Participants—doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and support staff—will complete psychological assessments before and after the program. The goal is to see if yoga can improve coping, reduce anxiety and depression, and boost overall well-being in a demanding profession.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A 10-week workplace yoga program
What this could lead to
If it works, workplace yoga could become a simple, low-cost way to reduce burnout and improve mental health for healthcare staff.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study without a comparison group, so any improvements might be due to other factors. Yoga may not be suitable for everyone, and results may not apply broadly.

Who can take part

Who is studied

The sample size was determined on the basis of a prior calculation carried out using the G\*Power software for a pre-post within-subject comparison (t-test for paired data, two-tailed). Assuming a moderate expected effect on the change in burnout scores (Cohen's d = 0.5), a significance level of α = 0.05 and a statistical power (1-β) of 0.95, the required number of participants is 54 subjects with complete measurements at T0 and T1. However, taking into account the possibility of drop-outs, absences exceeding 30% of the sessions or failure to complete the questionnaires at the follow-up, a loss rate of between 15% and 20% is assumed. Based on this estimate, it is therefore anticipated that a total of approximately 65-70 healthcare professionals will be recruited.
