“…Unlike the present study, in most studies, all dimensions of burnout significantly improved in both yoga and aerobic groups (13,14,21). In the present study, a significant improvement was observed only in emotional exhaustion.…”

“…A systematic review by Di Mario et al showed that yoga can reduce burnout in healthcare workers; however, stronger evidence is still needed (13). Swarbrick and Middleton study showed that yoga can play an effective role in improving nurses' job burnout and interpersonal relationships (14). Balaoing 's study showed that yoga and self-management are effective methods for reducing job burnout (15).…”

“…Different sources have emphasized the use of these two types of activities to reduce stress and anxiety in staff (13,21). Yoga and aerobics can reduce job burnout by changing lifestyle, focusing on life outside of work, creating a short break, creating a sense of control over the body and environment, strengthening adaptation, and increasing self-confidence and coping ability (14,22). On the other hand, in previous studies, the effects of yoga and aerobics on burnout have been investigated and confirmed; however, none of them stated which one is more effective.…”

Background: There is evidence of yoga and aerobic exercises as an effective therapy for nurse burnout; however, these methods have yet to be compared. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of yoga and aerobic exercises on burnout among nurses. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in two medical and educational hospitals in the south of Iran (February 2019 to April 2019). A total of 81 female nurses were randomized to yoga (n = 27), aerobics (n = 27), and control (n = 27) groups. In this study, 24 sessions of yoga and aerobic practices were run. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was filled out before the intervention, immediately after, and one month later. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software 16.0. Shapiro test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, chi-square test, Friedman test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis test were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 71 participants remained and continued the study, and 56% were married. The participants’ mean age and mean work history were 35.78 ± 3.94 and 11.65 ± 5.10 years, respectively. The mean of overtime work in the month was 35.67 ± 23.85 hours. There were no significant differences between the three groups before intervention (T0) and one month after intervention (T2), although the mean scores of the aerobic and yoga groups were reduced, compared to the control group. Immediately after intervention (T1), a significant difference was observed in emotional exhaustion (P = 0.007, Df = 2, Kruskal-Wallis x2 = 10.016, size effect = 0.95 - 2.26). The mean score of emotional exhaustion in the yoga group (23.13 ± 4.13) was reduced compared to the aerobic (36.00 ± 5.65) and control (38.44 ± 10.96) groups. Conclusions: Both yoga and aerobics reduced burnout, compared to the control group. Yoga was better than aerobics in the emotional exhaustion dimension. Although further research is needed to compare these two interventions, using each of them can reduce the burnout of nurses. Nursing managers can use yoga as an effective method to reduce job burnout. For future research, it is suggested to use other yoga techniques with longer intervention time and long-term follow-up.

Background. Nurses constitute a worldwide community of human resources committed to critical care. They are exposed to stress and intruding thoughts so they are at the risk of poor performance. The study aimed to ask experts about how can nurses manage stress eﬀectively in Asian developing countries. The aim. To explore stress management skills for nurses to be applied in developing Asian countries through the personal lived experience of experts from developed countries. Multiperspectival Interpretive Phenomenological Analyses (MIPA) are performed case by case and across the participants to establish convergence and divergence. Methods. This experiential exploratory descriptive qualitative study was carried out by conducting semi-structured interviews with experts residing, educated, and professionally practising in the United States of America, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, with a purposing sample of 11 stress experts who were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The current study uses HyperResearch software v.4.5.4 and also uses qualitative criteria (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) to increase data rigour and the Graneheim and Lundman method to analyse content (Graneheim & Lundman, 2004). Results. The research data showed 102 codes, 4 experiential statements, and 15 personal experiential themes/subcategories. Strategies for stress management and thought control include the practiceof mindfulness and meditation through mindfulness-based stress reduction courses, mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy courses; and the conduction of mindfulness-based organisational education on a larger scale. Nurses can beneft from thought labelling, and cognitive defusion to challenge automatic thoughts. Systematically, nursing management can improve through intervision, on-the-job support, and balance of power gradient. Nurses must adopt stress relief strategies such as practicing self-compassion, yoga, the method of active noticing, rational emotive behaviour skills, afrmations, and acceptance. Conclusion. Nurses face stress in daily life. Continuous and practical methods of stress management are important and contribute to stress reduction for them. It is essential for nurses to practice mindfulness, meditation, thought control, and stress relief processes to work optimally. Keywords: stress management, thought control, nursing, psychology, qualitative.
