About this study

Official title: The Effect of Yoga on Posttraumatic Growth and Quality of Life in the Postpartum Period

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of yoga on posttraumatic growth and quality of life. The birth action, which includes positive and negative experiences, can be an important opportunity to achieve posttraumatic growth and improve the quality of life.

This is a experimental model with pretest-posttest control group study. Two hundred and fifty-two women who met the criteria for inclusion in the study made up the research population. Three instruments were used to obtain the research data: Personal Information Form, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36).

Read the detailed description

Failure in modern medicine approaches or side effects of treatments and drugs, as well as the woman's anxiety to hurt herself and her baby direct her and her relatives to try complementary therapies. Women should prefer natural ways in coping with these postpartum problems rather than seeking medical advice.

When yoga and meditation, which are included in the group of mind-body-based complementary therapies, are performed in the postpartum period, they will help to relieve tensions and distresses that accumulate during birth, strengthen the pelvic floor, heal perineum, bring reproductive organs back to their prepregnancy condition healthily, provide the mother and the infant a sleep pattern, and have an easier transition to sleep.
