“…Importantly, Smith et al (2011) found no difference between the integrated yoga group and the yoga as the exercise group; both of the yoga groups showed an increased level of hope compared with the no intervention control. Overviewing randomized control interventions, three papers reported almost null or partially positive findings ( Moadel et al, 2007 ; Danhauer et al, 2009 ; Lötzke et al, 2016 ), while four studies reported clear beneficial outcomes concerning spiritual experiences, spiritual intelligence, a level of hope, a sense of existence, presence, and awareness of body-mind connectedness ( Smith et al, 2011 ; Safara and Ghasemi, 2017 ; Wahlström et al, 2018 ; Pandya, 2019 ).…”

“…The results of three qualitative studies ( Hasselle-Newcombe, 2005 ; Griera, 2017 ; Wahlström et al, 2018 ) give a deeper insight into what yoga and spirituality mean to practitioners. As reported by prisoners taking part in an intense yoga program, yoga is different from other forms of movement and sports ( Griera, 2017 ).…”

“…According to the participants of a 12-week-long intervention, yoga practice gives a sense of existence and presence, which leads to more inner peace. Moreover, it increases the awareness of the connection between physical and mental processes ( Wahlström et al, 2018 ).…”

The Relationship Between Yoga and Spirituality: A Systematic Review of Empirical Research

2021

ObjectiveBoth yoga practice and spirituality are associated with beneficial mental health outcomes. Within yoga research, however, spirituality is still a widely neglected area. The present systematic review aims to explore empirical studies, which do, in fact, investigate the relationship between yoga and spirituality in order to provide an overview and future directions for research on this topic. The review examines whether available empirical research supports an association between yoga practice and spirituality and, if so, which specific aspects of spirituality are associated with yoga practice.MethodsThe systematic review followed the PRISMA guideline (Prospero registration number: CRD42020155043). Empirical studies written in English, German, or Hungarian language were selected from a database search in Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and Science Direct. A total of 30 studies met the final inclusion criteria.ResultsAccording to the quantitative and qualitative studies reviewed, yoga practice seems to be positively associated with spirituality. This association concerns various aspects of spirituality, such as spiritual aspirations, a search for insight/wisdom, an integrative worldview, a sense of meaning and peace, faith, hope, compassion, and happiness within. To harness the potential spiritual benefits of yoga, regular practice appears to be essential. Yoga practitioners seem to have both physical and spiritual motives for practicing. At least in Western societies, however, physical intentions are more prevalent than spiritual ones. The meaning of spirituality for yoga practitioners is also discussed. Due to risk of bias of the majority of the reviewed studies, however, outcomes must be taken with caution.ConclusionYoga practice may be positively associated with several aspects of spirituality. For more evidence, further investigation of the topic is suggested. Particularly, we propose the inclusion of holistic forms of yoga practice and a comparison of Eastern and Western approaches to yoga.

“…A number of participants reported improvements in managing bothersome symptoms. For example, a participant in a center-based group yoga intervention reported improved stress self-management, which, in turn, eliminated bothersome atrial fibrillation symptoms 36. Similarly, a home-based yoga group participant with HF experienced improved management of breathlessness during exercise 23.…”

“…Clinicians emphasize the need for more detailed guidance about specific risk factors to address after hospitalization, as well as information about what is most meaningful to patients to prevent readmission and increase quality of life, including reducing anxiety. Specific knowledge of risk factors is also warranted to include the most potent and meaningful elements in future interventions 6,8,16 …”

Background: Because of high readmission rates for patients treated with ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), there is great value in nurses knowing which risk factors make the largest contribution to readmission. Objective: The aims of this study were to (1) describe potential risk factors at discharge and (2) describe the associations of risk factors with readmission from 60 days to 1 year after discharge. Methods: Data from a national cross-sectional survey exploring patient-reported outcomes were used in conjunction with data from national health registers. This study included patients who had an ablation for AF during a single calendar year. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and questions on risk factors were included. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected through registers, and readmissions were examined at 1 year. Results: In total, 929 of 1320 (response rate, 70%) eligible patients treated with ablation for AF completed the survey. One year after ablation, there were 333 (36%) acute readmissions for AF and 401 (43%) planned readmissions for AF. Readmissions were associated with ischemic heart disease, anxiety, and depression. Conclusion: High observed readmission rates were associated with risk factors that included anxiety and depression. Postablation care should address these risk factors.
