{"title":"Identifying Behavioral Change Techniques and Mode of Delivery in Yoga Interventions Across Five Neurological Conditions: A Scoping Review.","authors":"Himani Prajapati, Krista L Best, Aditya Dhariwal, W Ben Mortenson, William C Miller","doi":"10.1089/jicm.2024.0536","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/jicm.2024.0536","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><b><i>Objective:</i></b> To identify behavior change techniques (BCTs) and the mode of delivery used in yoga interventions across five neurological conditions. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This scoping review followed Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework for conducting scoping reviews. Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CENTRAL databases were searched, combining key terms for population and intervention. Covidence software was used for study selection. Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist was used to report the intervention and study quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Interventions were coded for BCTs using various taxonomies and delivery approaches were classified using Mode of Delivery Taxonomy Version 0. <b><i>Result:</i></b> Among 4805 articles screened, 35 met the inclusion criteria. Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke were the most prevalent disability types with fewer studies on spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. A total of 134 BCTs were identified, 20 out of the 93 BCTs (25%) were from the BCT v1 taxonomy, while 15 additional BCTs were identified from other taxonomies and some BCTs were defined by the authors based on the need for yoga interventions. The most used BCTs included 12.6 body changes (68.57%, <i>n</i> = 24), 4.1 instruction (57.14%, <i>n</i> = 20), 12.5 adding objects (48.57%, <i>n</i> = 17), 1.2 problem solving (37.14%, <i>n</i> = 13), 6.1 demonstration (34.28%, <i>n</i> = 12), 8.1 behavioral practice and rehearsal (31.42%, <i>n</i> = 11), and 8.7 graded tasks (28.57%, <i>n</i> = 10). The most common delivery approach was face-to-face. The median PEDro score was 6 indicating medium study quality. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Clear reporting of the intervention description and use of BCTs may enhance understanding and ability to replicate yoga interventions. This helps to adapt yoga by changing behaviors using specific BCTs to meet the goals and principles of yoga depending on the target population. The review may help inform future research to examine the effectiveness of specific BCTs on desired outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":29734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143415294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quality improvement project aimed to identify stakeholders' perceptions of implementing CIH therapies in health care systems to examine the barriers and facilitators to CIH implementation in Rhode Island (RI). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A qualitative approach guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used to conduct interviews with key stakeholder groups: health care administrators, health insurance administrators, physicians, and CIH practitioners. Interviews were analyzed by directed content analysis of transcripts with CFIR as the <i>a priori</i> coding framework. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Eleven subconstructs within four major domains were most prominent in interviews across all stakeholder groups. Key barriers in the \"innovation\" domain include a perceived lack of evidence and credibility of CIH therapies, logistical and administrative complexity of implementation, high costs to patients, and little financial incentive for hospitals and insurance companies. The \"outer setting\" domain highlights the utility of market pressure in decision making to implement CIH and the role of health policy. The \"inner setting\" domain demonstrates the varied personal beliefs about CIH, credentialing challenges, and the dissonance between medical system priorities and patient needs. Positive facilitation of implementation is marked by personal exposure to CIH and provider satisfaction in the \"implementation process\" domain. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> CIH therapies offer the medical system low risk and effective interventions that meet patient needs not currently met by Western medicine. However, implementation is difficult due to poor perception of evidence and lack of financial gain for the medical system.
