Abstract

Background

Internet gaming is a popular leisure activity among adolescents, but excessive use can lead to Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). IGD has been associated with negative health outcomes, including increased stress, obesity, decreased academic performance, and mental health issues. To address this, we developed a Yoga module leveraging Yoga’s known health benefits as a potential intervention for IGD.

Methods

The study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, the Yoga module was developed by a scientific and traditional literature review on Yoga, followed by group discussion with five Yoga experts and one psychiatrist. In the second stage, the developed module was sent to 45 Yoga experts, out of which 25 experts provided feedback. The Lawshe’s Content Validity Ratio(CVR)method was used for the content validity of the Yoga module. Stage three, feasibility study was conducted using randomized controlled trial. Thirty subjects were randomly allocated to Yoga (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). They were assessed after one month of intervention.

Results

Thirty Yoga practices (30 out of 34) with Lawshe’s Content Validity ratio ≥ 0.37 were retained (88 %) in the final Yoga Module.The pilot study demonstrated a significant difference by Independent sample t-test comparing the Yoga group and Control group in the variable WHO Quality of Life (QOL) – Social (P < 0.05) d = 0.951, Loneliness (P < 0.001), d = 2.396, Mind Wandering (P < 0.05), d = 0.839 and Parental Internet Gaming Disorder(P < 0.001), d = 3.014.

Conclusion

The present study offers a validated Yoga module for adolescents with IGD. The pilot study suggests that the module is feasible and easy to practice. To gain maximum benefits, we recommend that this module be practiced at least three times a week (40 min each session) under the supervision of a Yoga expert.

青少年网络游戏障碍综合瑜伽模块的开发、验证和可行性

网络游戏是青少年中流行的休闲活动，但过度使用会导致网络游戏障碍（IGD）。IGD与负面健康结果有关，包括压力增加、肥胖、学习成绩下降和心理健康问题。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一个瑜伽模块，利用瑜伽已知的健康益处作为IGD的潜在干预措施。方法本研究分三个阶段进行。在第一阶段，瑜伽模块是通过对瑜伽的科学和传统文献的回顾来开发的，然后是与五位瑜伽专家和一位精神科医生进行小组讨论。在第二阶段，开发的模块被发送给45位瑜伽专家，其中25位专家提供了反馈。瑜伽模块的内容效度采用Lawshe 's Content Validity Ratio（CVR）法。第三阶段，采用随机对照试验进行可行性研究。30名受试者随机分为瑜伽组（n = 15）和对照组（n = 15）。他们在干预一个月后接受评估。结果在最终的瑜伽模块中，保留了Lawshe内容效度≥ 0.37的30个瑜伽练习（88 %）。初步研究通过独立样本t检验比较瑜伽组和对照组在可变的WHO生活质量(QOL) -社会(P <；0.05) d = 0.951，孤独(P <；0.001), d = 2.396，走神(P <；0.05), d = 0.839，父母网络游戏障碍(P <；0.001), d = 3.014。结论本研究为青少年IGD患者提供了一个有效的瑜伽模块。初步研究表明，该模块是可行的，易于实践。为了获得最大的好处，我们建议在瑜伽专家的指导下，每周至少练习三次（每次40 分钟）。
