Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Hatha Yoga-on Reminiscence Functions and Mindfulness in Patients Hospitalized for Schizophrenia

Обзор

The current study aims to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a Hatha yoga-based group intervention on reminiscence functions and mindfulness in a sample of patients hospitalized for schizophrenia.

Подробное описание

This study employs a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. Convenience sampling will be used to recruit 36 participants for a cross-culturally adapted Hatha yoga-based group intervention (16 one hour-long sessions over 8 weeks). Feasibility indicators will be monitored systematically. Acceptability will be assessed using semi-structured interviews. Preliminary effectiveness will be evaluated using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-post test design to test group-level (paired t-test) and individual-level (reliability change index) changes in mindfulness and reminiscence functions. Thematic analysis will be conducted to analyze qualitative data, with meta-inference used to integrate the qualitative and quantitative findings.

Better memory and alertness are the major goals. To ensure participant safety and study validity, a multidisciplinary team assesses health, trauma triggers, and personal goals before the program begins. The
