Depression is a major societal issue that affects a large proportion of the population. Yoga has been introduced as a viable alternative approach to reduce symptoms. While prior studies have used meta–analysis to examine the benefits of yoga for depression, these studies incorporated a small number of studies and were limited in their ability to conduct a sub–group analysis. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect size of yoga in the treatment of depression. Inclusion criteria included experimental, quasi–experimental, and feasibility studies that examined yoga with physical postures (asanas) as a treatment for depression. Nine moderator variables were examined including type of yoga, components of yoga (i.e., breathing, meditation, or relaxation), experience of yoga instructor, depression diagnosis, type of comparison group, research design, and length of treatment. Risk of bias was assessed using the Jadad instrument. Electronic databases were used to identify studies, and the search concluded on January 31st, 2022. A total of 152 studies (150 articles) met the inclusion criteria in this meta–analysis with 8210 participants assessed. The overall weighted effect size of yoga for treatment of depression was Hedges’ g = 0.55 (95% CI 0.44–0.65), demonstrating a medium effect. Meta–regression and subgroup analyses found larger effect sizes as the amount of yoga practiced increased, when relaxation was practiced, and when participants had been clinically diagnosed with depression. Funnel plot and trim–and–fill procedure found little evidence of publication bias and the fail–safe number was 21783. These results demonstrate that yoga is an effective integrative approach in the treatment of depression. This study was limited by the methodological quality of the individual studies that make up the larger analysis, including participants who were not blind to the procedure and a failure to report withdrawals and dropouts.
抑郁症是影响很大一部分人口的主要社会问题。瑜伽已经被引入作为一种可行的替代方法来减轻症状。虽然之前的研究使用荟萃分析来检验瑜伽对抑郁症的益处,但这些研究纳入了少量研究,并且在进行亚组分析的能力方面受到限制。本研究的目的是量化瑜伽治疗抑郁症的效果大小。纳入标准包括实验、准实验和可行性研究,这些研究考察了瑜伽的身体姿势(体式)作为抑郁症的治疗方法。9个调节变量包括瑜伽的类型、瑜伽的组成部分(即呼吸、冥想或放松)、瑜伽教练的经验、抑郁症诊断、对照组的类型、研究设计和治疗时间。使用Jadad仪器评估偏倚风险。电子数据库被用来识别研究,搜索于2022年1月31日结束。共有152项研究(150篇文章)符合本荟萃分析的纳入标准,评估了8210名参与者。瑜伽治疗抑郁症的总体加权效应大小为Hedges ' g = 0.55 (95% CI 0.44-0.65),表明效果中等。元回归和亚组分析发现,瑜伽练习量增加、放松练习以及参与者被临床诊断为抑郁症时,效果会更大。漏斗图和修剪填充程序几乎没有发现发表偏倚的证据,故障安全数为21783。这些结果表明,瑜伽是一种有效的治疗抑郁症的综合方法。本研究受到组成更大分析的单个研究的方法学质量的限制,包括对程序不知情的参与者和未能报告退出和退出的参与者。

More than six or seven million Ukrainians have been subjected to bombing and violence on their territory since February 2022, forcing them to leave their homes. This invasion has created Europe's biggest recent humanitarian crisis, claiming more victims’ day by day and causing widespread displacement in and out of the country. Europe has been on the warpath ever since, trying to avoid any escalation in the ongoing conflict and avoid the use of nuclear weapons. So what about the mental health of all these displaced people? What is the impact of such a large-scale situation on the movement of refugees in Europe? What psychological impact can it have on Ukrainian refugees (stress factor, mental illness)? What psychological impact can there be on the long-term hosts of the refugees? At present, we are not aware of any French or English articles already published on the medico-socio-psychological aspects linked to the problems of displacement of Ukrainian families and the reactions of the hosts over the long term. In this article, we will try to address the medico-socio-psychological issue of careers and the psychological impact of deported Ukrainian refugees.
