Abstract
Purpose of Review
This health technology assessment aimed to systematically assess the efficacy and safety of yoga as therapy for burnout. Economic, ethical, legal, social and organizational aspects were considered as well.
Recent Findings
Yoga as a therapy has been shown to have positive effects on a range of symptoms, including stress, anxiety and depression. Regarding work-related stress and burnout, the effects of yoga have mainly been examined in a preventative context.
Summary
Meta-analyses revealed no effects on burnout severity comparing yoga with passive controls in general. Compared with passive controls, yoga had a positive effect on subjective stress. Compared to active control, yoga had an effect on the burnout subscale depersonalization on individual study level. Yoga may have positive effects on burnout, but the results are mixed. Common definitions and standardized diagnostic tools are necessary to improve research and further assess yoga as therapy for burnout.
Trial Registration
The HTA is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022299405, on 6th February 2022.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
