Abstract
Alcohol dependence is the most severe form of alcohol abuse. It is a chronic disease characterized by the consumption of alcohol at a level that interferes with physical and mental health as well as family and social responsibilities. An alcoholic would continue to drink despite serious health, family, or legal problems. It is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Yoga methods for stress reduction and self-soothing are generally cheaper than other professional interventions. Proper and regular practice of yogasana and pranayama can calm the mind and reduce stress. Psychology Today (2016). This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of yoga on depression and quality of life among alcohol dependents in Athma de-addiction centre, Trichy. An evaluative approach was used to conduct the study. The design used for the present study was quasi experimental non-equivalent control group pretest and posttest design. The conceptual framework was based on Wiedenbach’s Helping Art of Clinical Nursing Theory (1969). A total of 60 participants were selected using convenience sampling technique. Out of which 30 were in experimental group and 30 were in control group. On the 1st week, 15 samples were selected under experimental group and pretest was conducted on the first day using Beck Depression Inventory scale to assess the level of depression and Quality of life- 26 BREF scale adopted from WHO, to assess the quality of life among alcohol dependents. The pretest was conducted for 30 minutes. Self-administered questionnaires were given individually. After which yoga was taught to the experimental group, fifteen in a group, using LCD projector which lasted for 45 minutes. From the 2nd day, the participants in experimental group were made to practice the yoga under the supervision of the investigator in the morning for 1 hour 10 minutes for 28 days. On the 2nd week, next 15 samples were selected under experimental group and the same procedure was continued. On 5th and 6th week, posttest was conducted for the experimental group. On 3rd week, 15 samples were selected in control group and pretest was conducted. On the 4th week, next 15 samples were selected under control group and the pretest was conducted. The control group participants received the routine hospital treatment. On 7th and 8th week, posttest was conducted for the control group. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. For depression, the pretest and posttest mean scores were 27.833(SD ± 6.558) and 8.166 (SD ± 4.646) respectively. The posttest mean score was lower than the pretest mean score with the mean difference value of 20.675. The paired ‘t’ value was 14.439, which was significant at p < 0.05 level, which revealed that yoga was effective in reducing depression among alcohol dependents in experimental group. The posttest mean score level of depression between experimental and control group were 8.166 (SD ± 4.646) and 12.833 (SD ± 4.816) respectively. The posttest mean score of experimental group was lower than the posttest mean score of control group with the mean difference value of 4.667. The independent ’t’ value was 4.413, which was significant at p < 0.05 level, which revealed that yoga was effective in reducing depression among alcohol dependents in experimental group. There was no significant association between posttest level of depression and their demographic variables in experimental group. For quality of life, the pretest and posttest mean scores in experimental group were 5.90 (SD ± 1.347) and 7.433 (SD ± 1.194) respectively. The posttest mean score was higher than the pretest mean score with the mean difference value of 1.533. The paired ’t’ value was 5.275, which was significant at p < 0.05 level, which revealed that yoga was effective in increasing the quality of life among alcohol dependents in experimental group. The posttest mean score level of quality of life between experimental and control group were 7.433 (SD ±1.194) and 6.566 (SD ± 1.304) respectively. The independent ‘t’ value was 2.592, which was significant at p < 0.05 level, which revealed that yoga was effective in improving the quality of life among alcohol dependents in experimental group. There was a significant association at p < 0.05 level between the posttest level of quality of life and their demographic variables in experimental group. With regard to physical domain, the χ2 value was 8.978 for occupation. With regard to psychological domain, the χ2 value was 9.1 for type of family. With regard to social domain, χ2 value was 6.05 for duration of alcohol consumption. With regard to environmental domain, the χ2 value was 10.1 for type of family. There was a negative correlation between posttest level of depression and quality of life among alcohol dependents in experimental group, which revealed that reduction in level of depression, improves the quality of life among alcohol dependents in experimental group. The above study findings revealed that yoga was effective in reducing the level of depression and improve the quality of life among alcohol dependents in experimental group.
