Item TO STUDY THE PREVALENCE OF TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS IN RURAL KARNATAKA-SURVEY(SVYASA, 2018-10-13) PRIYA JOSHI; PadmashriItem Effect of Integrated Yoga Module on Perceptibility of Stress and Emotional Competence Based on Coping Strategies on Diabetes Mellitus Patient(S-VYASA, 2014-07-13) Nandi, PritiBackground Various forms of yoga such as Pranayama, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra have been found to be beneficial in reducing the anxiety and stress of the subjects undergoing distress. Aim The present study is aimed at assessing the perceived stress and emotional competence in various group of subjects, coping of their stress by using different strategies. Material and Methods A sample size of sixty five (n=65) subjects undergoing a yoga training of 10 days participated in the trial were included in the study. Variables such as Coping Strategy (CS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were assessed at once before the start of intervention, whereas Emotional Competence (EC) was assessed twice i.e., before and after the intervention. Results Paired ‘T’ Test was used to compare the effect of intervention within the group but no statistical test was taken into consideration as the other variables were recorded once. It was reported that the Emotional Competence Score was higher (p<0.05) following a 10 days of yoga intervention. When all subjects were divided into three groups based on their coping strategies, it was observed that the ‘denial group’ had higher scores of PSS and lower scores of EC. The trend of higher scores of EC significantly lowered following the yoga intervention in the same group. Conclusion The low scores of EC and high scores of PSS in denial group suggest that this group perceives stress highly and thus shows less performance in their emotional competence. More clearly perceived stress is highly related with Emotional Competence and yoga plays a vital role in managing their stress and make them emotionally competent.Item Effect of 10 Days of Yoga Intervention on Cognitive Dysfunction in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients(S-VYASA, 2014-07-05) Ganguly, MollikaBackground - Yoga and other modalities of adjunct therapies viz., Tai chi & Qi Gong have been found to be useful in improving the cognitive abilities in both healthy volunteers as well as diseased conditions Aim and Objectives - The present study was aimed at assessing the cognitive function tests in Type II Diabetes Mellitus subjects Material and Methods - A sample size of 56 subjects (n=56) were assessed before and after a 10 days yoga intervention. The variables viz., Stroop Test (ST), Whislers Memory Scale (WMS), Six Letter Cancellation Test (SLCT) and Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) were recorded in all subjects as per the prescribed design. Result- It was observed that the digit forward scores (p<0.05) of WMS was higher and colour and word colour (p<0.05) scores of ST was also found to be higher following a 10 days of yoga intervention. No significant changes were noticed in other variables following the yoga intervention. Conclusion- It was demonstrated that there was improvement in digit forward, colour and word-colour scores suggestive of better enhancement of working memory and executive functions in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.Item Development and Validation of Yoga Module for Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(S-VYASA, 2014-07-27) Kumar, VinodIntroduction: Yoga modules described by earlier authors have provided their own rationale behind the choice of yoga asanas/program. However, there is no mention whether these modules have been endorsed by other specialists in the field than the researcher themselves. Also, there are very few studies which discuss the development and validation of a yoga module. Hence the aim of this study was to develop and validate a yoga module for patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Methodology: 71 research papers from Pubmed and Google Scholar; and 54 books related to yoga were reviewed for development of the yoga module for diabetes. This was done by using the Inductive method of inquiry of qualitative research and the quantitative content validity Ratio (CVR). Further validation of module was done with help of 18 experts over three rounds of iteration. Results: Camp, Implementation process of yoga module, Prayer or bhajana, Yoga module 1, Yoga module 2, Yoga module 3, Relaxation techniques, Meditation techniques, Jïäna yoga, Special considerations and Miscellaneous were the themes that were elicited from the qualitative content analysis. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) with minimum 0.49 value decided the practices that were to be retained in the module and the practices that were to be removed. The outcome was the development of a 3 step yoga module (based on increasing difficulty) – each step lasting for a period of 3 months of duration inclusive of daily practice for one hour each in morning and evening. Conclusions: The 3 step yoga module for diabetes was developed and validated using a scientific methodology and can be used by researchers in the future for development of yoga modules for other disorders. Next step in the process would be feasibility testing of this module so that it can be implemented in a large scale in the community for service as well as further research.
