Abstract
This systematic review synthesises the evidence for the effectiveness of a single session of yoga or its components including meditation and breathing techniques in reducing acute stress reactivity in healthy adults. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PsycINFO on 30th July 2023 for randomised controlled or crossover trials of yoga components and reporting physiological and/or psychological outcome measure(s) related to stress reactivity. Risk of bias (ROB) was assessed using the Cochrane ROB 2 tool. Data were synthesised narratively. Twenty-one out of 28 eligible studies (n = 2574) relating to 31 interventions (meditation [n = 22], breathing [n = 4] and yoga [n = 5]) reported outcomes in favour of the intervention. Stress reactivity was reported to be reduced by 71% of studies measuring physiological outcomes and 65% of studies measuring psychological outcomes. These studies show that a single session of yoga components is effective in reducing acute stress reactivity in adults and could be recommended for stress management. Future studies with larger populations and a more equal representation of genders and age groups are warranted.
这篇系统综述综合了单次瑜伽或其组成部分(包括冥想和呼吸技巧)在降低健康成年人急性应激反应方面的有效性证据。根据PRISMA指南,我们于2023年7月30日在Medline、EMBASE、Cochrane、CINAHL和PsycINFO上搜索瑜伽成分的随机对照或交叉试验,并报告与压力反应相关的生理和/或心理结果指标。使用Cochrane ROB 2工具评估偏倚风险(ROB)。数据被叙述性地合成。在与31项干预措施(冥想[n=22]、呼吸[n=4]和瑜伽[n=5])相关的28项合格研究中,有21项(n=2574)报告了有利于干预的结果。据报道,71%的测量生理结果的研究和65%的测量心理结果的研究降低了应激反应。这些研究表明,单次瑜伽成分可以有效降低成年人的急性应激反应,可以推荐用于压力管理。未来有必要对更大的人口和更平等的性别和年龄组进行研究。
期刊介绍:
Stress is a normal component of life and a number of mechanisms exist to cope with its effects. The stresses that challenge man"s existence in our modern society may result in failure of these coping mechanisms, with resultant stress-induced illness. The aim of the journal therefore is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects of stress which affect the individual in both health and disease.
The Journal explores the subject from as many aspects as possible, so that when stress becomes a consideration, health information can be presented as to the best ways by which to minimise its effects.
