About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Traditional and Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Yoga on Quality of Life and Mental Well-Being: A Randomized Controlled Study

The goal of the study was to compare the effects of traditional yoga and AI-assisted yoga practice on quality of life and mental well-being in students in a randomized controlled trial. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  1. What is the level of quality of life of students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences?
  2. What is the level of mental well-being of students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences?
  3. Does the traditional yoga program applied to students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences affect the quality of life?
  4. Does the artificial intelligence-supported yoga program applied to students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences affect the quality of life?
  5. Does the traditional yoga program applied to students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences affect mental well-being?
  6. Does the artificial intelligence-supported yoga program applied to students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences affect mental well-being?

Participants will take part in a traditional and AI-assisted yoga practice. The researchers will compare the effect of traditional yoga and AI-assisted yoga on quality of life and mental well-being.

Read the detailed description

Yoga is a holistic life science with a history of approximately 5000 years, designed to prepare the individual for meditation by strengthening the body and calming the mind. Looking at the national and international literature, no study comparing the effects of traditional and artificial intelligence-based practices on quality of life and mental well-being has been found before. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of traditional yoga and artificial intelligence-supported yoga practice on quality of life and mental well-being in students in a randomized controlled trial. The population of the study consisted of approximately 880 students studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Departments of Nursing (n=460), Midwifery (n=310) and Emergency Aid and Disaster Management (n=110). In the study, a simple random sampling method was selected according to the literature to ensure homogeneity of the sample. With power analysis, the effect size was 0.35, the α value was 0.05, and the power was 0.90, and the number of samples was found to be 54 people in total, including 18 in the 1st intervention group, 18 in the 2nd intervention group, and 18 in the control group. The research will be collected face-to-face between February 1, 2024, and November 30, 2025, using the Introductory Information Form, Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale. In the study, two intervention and control groups will be pre-tested. The first intervention group will receive traditional yoga practice, and the second intervention group will receive AI-supported yoga practice. The control group will not receive any intervention during the data collection process. After the interventions are completed, post-tests (Introductory Information Form, Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale) will be applied to all three groups. In order to eliminate ethical problems in the control group, days and hours suitable for individuals will be determined after the data collection process is completed, and traditional yoga will be practiced preferably once a week for an average of 2 hours or AI-assisted yoga for 1 hour a week for 12 weeks. In this research, at the same time, while applying AI-assisted yoga to the 2nd intervention group, images will be captured with the help of Mediapipe, correct posture will be determined, the angles between the joint points will be determined and recorded, and correct posture predictions will be made with the image processing technique of artificial intelligence.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale

    1. The Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale total score varies between 35-245. Higher scores represent better functional status.

    Measured: 6 months after interventions

  2. Waarwick-Edinburg Mental Well-Being Scale

    1. A minimum of 14 and a maximum of 70 points are obtained from the Waarwick-Edinburg Mental Well-Being Scale. High scores from the scale indicate high mental (psychological) well-being.

    Measured: 6 months after interventions

Model description
In the research, firstly, a pre-test (Introductory Information Form, Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale) will be applied to two intervention and control groups. Traditional yoga will be applied to the 1st initiative group, and artificial intelligence-supported yoga will be applied to the 2nd initiative group. No intervention will be made by the control group during the data collection process. After the applications are completed, a posttest (Introductory Information Form, Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale) will be administered to all three groups. In order to eliminate ethical problems in the control group, after the data collection process is completed, the days and hours suitable for the individuals will be determined, and an average of 2 hours of traditional yoga or 1 hour of artificial intelligence-supported yoga will be applied, preferably once a week for 12 weeks.
