Abstract
Background: Yoga-based interventions (YBI) are recognized for their therapeutic benefits, but individual belief in yoga's efficacy may influence outcomes.
Objective: To explore the relationship between belief in YBI and subjective satisfaction in participants undergoing a structured yoga program.
Methods: A total of 41 glaucoma patients recruited from the Glaucoma Clinic of RPC Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi, aged 18 to 70 years, were divided into two groups: control group A and intervention group B using the "blind envelope technique". Group A received standard care, while Group B received YBI in addition to standard care. The intervention lasted for four weeks, after which participants completed a feedback form assessing belief in yoga, satisfaction, overall experience, and willingness to continue visiting the site for yoga practice.
Results: A strong belief in YBI correlated with higher satisfaction scores, indicating that belief significantly enhances perceived benefits. No significant association was found between belief and overall experience or willingness to revisit.
Conclusion: Belief in YBI enhances satisfaction, but other factors, such as environment and quality of care, are crucial for the overall experience.
Keywords: belief in yoga, satisfaction, overall experience, likelihood to revisit, efficacy of yoga holistic approach.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
