About this study
Official title: THE EFFECT OF A YOGA-ASSISTED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY-BASED ANXIETY REDUCTION PROGRAM ON PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE, FUNCTIONING, AND ANXIETY LEVELS IN INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER
THIS STUDY EXAMINED 64 INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE DIAGNOSED WITH GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER ACCORDING TO ICD-10 DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA AND RECEIVED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT AT THE PSYCHIATRY POLYCLINIC OF İSKENDERUN STATE HOSPITAL BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 1, 2025, AND JULY 24, 2026, AND WHO MET THE INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA.
Read the detailed description
THE INTERVENTION GROUP WILL BE ADMINISTERED A "PERSONAL INFORMATION FORM," "GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER SEVERITY SCALE," "PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE SCALE," AND "WHO DISABILITY ASSESSMENT CHART" BEFORE THE PROGRAM (PRE-TEST), AND THE RESULTS WILL BE EVALUATED. THE INTERVENTION GROUP WILL RECEIVE A "YOGA-SUPPORTED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY-BASED ANXIETY REDUCTION PROGRAM" FROM THE RESEARCHER OVER APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS, TOTALING 8 SESSIONS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES WEEKLY INDIVIDUAL FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS AND ONLINE GROUP YOGA SESSIONS. EACH INDIVIDUAL MEETING IS PLANNED TO LAST APPROXIMATELY 50 MINUTES. EACH GROUP YOGA SESSION WILL LAST 60 MINUTES. LITERATURE AND EXPERT OPINIONS WILL BE USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE PROGRAM. THE INDIVIDUAL MEETING PORTION OF THE PROGRAM WILL UTILIZE COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY INTERVIEW PRINCIPLES, INCORPORATING TEACHING METHODS SUCH AS QUESTIONING, ATTRACTING ATTENTION, ASSIGNING HOMEWORK, AND LEARNING BY DOING. FOR THE YOGA SESSION, ACCESS TO THE INTERVENTION GROUP WILL BE VIA THE GOOGLE MEET ONLINE PLATFORM. BEFORE THE PROGRAM BEGINS, THE INTERVENTION GROUP WILL BE ADDED TO A WHATSAPP GROUP TO RECEIVE NECESSARY INFORMATION AND FEEDBACK. AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM (AFTER 8 WEEKS - POST-TEST) AND 3 MONTHS AFTER THE PROGRAM ENDS (FOLLOW-UP), THE SAME SCALES WILL BE ADMINISTERED TO INDIVIDUALS AND THE RESULTS WILL BE EVALUATED. THE CONTROL GROUP WILL BE ADMINISTERED THE "PERSONAL INFORMATION FORM", "GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER SEVERITY SCALE", "PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE SCALE", AND "WHO DISABILITY ASSESSMENT CHART" AT THE SAME TIME AS THE INTERVENTION GROUP, BEFORE THE PROGRAM BEGINS (PRE-TEST), AT THE 8TH WEEK AFTER THE PROGRAM ENDS (POST-TEST), AND 3 MONTHS AFTER THE PROGRAM ENDS (FOLLOW-UP). NO APPLICATION OR TRAINING WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CONTROL GROUP. ALL DATA COLLECTION TOOLS WILL BE ADMINISTERED FACE-TO-FACE TO BOTH GROUPS.

ANXIETY REDUCTION PROGRAMBehavioural
THE INTERVENTION GROUP WILL RECEIVE A "YOGA-SUPPORTED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY-BASED ANXIETY REDUCTION PROGRAM" DELIVERED BY THE RESEARCHER OVER APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS, CONSISTING OF A TOTAL OF 8 SESSIONS. EACH SESSION WILL BE INDIVIDUAL AND FACE-TO-FACE, LASTING AN AVERAGE OF 50 MINUTES. EACH YOGA PRACTICE WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLINE AND IN A GROUP SETTING FOR 60 MINUTES. THE PROGRAM WILL BE PREPARED USING LITERATURE AND EXPERT OPINIONS. THE PROGRAM WILL UTILIZE TEACHING METHODS SUCH AS QUESTIONING, ATTRACTING ATTENTION, ASSIGNING HOMEWORK, AND LEARNING BY DOING. A WHATSAPP GROUP WILL BE CREATED WITH THE INTERVENTION GROUP PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE REMINDERS AND RECEIVE FEEDBACK.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER SCALE
THIS IS A SCALE CREATED BY THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION TO MEASURE AND EVALUATE THE SEVERITY OF ANXIETY DISORDERS. IT WAS TRANSLATED INTO TURKISH BY ALÇI ET AL. IN 2019, AND A VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY WAS CONDUCTED. THE SCALE IS A TEN-ITEM SELF-REPORT SCALE EXPRESSING GAD SYMPTOMS, THEIR SEVERITY, AND FREQUENCY. IT EXAMINES THE SOMATIC AND PSYCHIC SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY. EACH ITEM IS SCORED FROM 0 TO 4, AND THE TOTAL SCORE RANGES FROM 0 TO 40. "0" MEANS NEVER, "1" MEANS OCCASIONALLY, "2" MEANS HALF THE WEEK, "3" MEANS MOST OF THE WEEK, "4" MEANS ALL THE WEEK. THE CRONBACH'S ALPHA VALUE FOR THE TOTAL SCORE IS 0.852, AND THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS OF THE ITEMS ARE CALCULATED BETWEEN 0.43 AND 0.68. THERE IS NO CUTOFF POINT FOR THE SCALE; IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE SEVERITY OF ANXIETY SYMPTOMS INCREASES AS THE CALCULATED TOTAL SCORE INCREASES.
Measured: Changes after the implementation compared to before implementation (weeks 8 and 20)
Secondary outcomes (1)
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE SCALE
DEVELOPED BY FRANCIS AND COLLEAGUES IN 2016, THE SCALE WAS TRANSLATED INTO TURKISH BY KARAKUŞ AND AKBAY IN 2020, AND VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED. THE SCALE IS CONSIDERED A LEADING INDICATOR FOR MEASURING INDIVIDUALS' PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE. IT IS A 28-ITEM, 7-POINT LIKERT-TYPE SCALE (1=STRONGLY DISAGREE, 7=STRONGLY AGREE). THE SCALE HAS 5 SUB-DIMENSIONS. THE LOWEST POSSIBLE SCORE IS 28, AND THE HIGHEST IS 196. ITEMS 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 14, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, AND 25 ARE SCORED IN REVERSE. HIGHER SCORES INDICATE HIGHER LEVELS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE. IN THE TURKISH VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF THE SCALE, THE CRONBACH'S ALPHA VALUE WAS REPORTED AS 0.79 FOR THE TOTAL SCALE, 0.84 FOR THE VALUES AND VALUES-BASED BEHAVIOR SUBSCALE, 0.60 FOR THE PRESENCE IN THE MOMENT SUBSCALE, 0.72 FOR THE ACCEPTANCE SUBSCALE, 0.73 FOR THE CONTEXTUAL SELF SUBSCALE, AND 0.59 FOR THE DISSOCIATION SUBSCALE.
Measured: Changes before and after the completion of the intervention (Week 8 and Week 20)
