摘要
背景与目的继发性听力障碍是影响儿童生活质量的重要因素。这项准实验研究探讨了为期两天的瑜伽练习,Prajñā瑜伽在提高听力障碍儿童听觉技能和改善生活质量方面的潜在益处。方法总样本量为304例,干预组178例为每日瑜伽练习组,等候组126例为对照组。听力学评估采用纯音测听、阻抗测听和反射测听。为了捕捉任何听力增强、生活质量和行为改善,使用了各种心理测量量表。分别于训练第0、3、15、30天进行评估。定量数据采用均数(SD)表示,分类值采用数字和百分比表示。采用配对t检验比较不同时间点的数据。结果干预组从业人员的听力能力显著改善,听力阈值比对照组降低10-15 dB (p值<;0.001)。干预组中91.5 %和55 %的参与者分别在至少一只耳朵上表现出改善,并从无反应转变为反应。此外,与对照组相比,干预组的生活质量也有显著改善(p值<;0.001)。结论随着儿童听力障碍的增加,本研究强调Prajñā瑜伽作为一种非药物解决方案在改善生活质量和增强听觉能力方面的重要性。
Enhancement of hearing capability among children with congenital sensorineural hearing impairment following the Prajñā Yoga: An Indian knowledge system based intervention
Background and purpose
Congenital hearing impairment possesses a significant challenge to children's quality of life (QoL). This quasi-experimental study investigates the potential benefits of a two-day yogic practice, Prajñā Yoga in enhancing the auditory skills and improving QoL among hearing impaired children.
Methods
The total sample size is 304 with 178 children in the intervention arm who received the daily yogic practice and 126 children in the waitlist control arm. Audiological assessments were done by Pure Tone Audiometry, Immittance Audiometry and reflexometry. To capture any hearing enhancement, QoL and behavioral improvement various psychometric scales were used. The assessments were done at Day 0, 3, 15 and 30 days of practice. Quantitative data were presented using Mean (SD) while the categorical values were done in the form of numbers and percentages. Paired t test was used to compare the data across different time points.
Results
The results revealed a significant improvement in hearing ability among the intervention group practitioners evidenced by a 10–15 dB decrease in hearing thresholds compared to the control group (p value <0.001). 91.5 % and 55 % of the participants in the intervention arm demonstrated an improvement in at least one ear and have turned responsive from non-responsive respectively. Additionally, the intervention group also demonstrated significant improvement in QoL, compared to the control group (p value <0.001).
Conclusion
With the growing rate of hearing impairment among children, the present study underscores the importance of Prajñā Yoga as a non-pharmacological solution to improve the QoL and enhance auditory abilities.
