Summary
This review highlights the need for standardized yoga module development. A new checklist reveals most therapeutic yoga programs lack high-quality validation and standardization.
Area of Science:
- Integrative Medicine
- Rehabilitation Science
- Mind-Body Therapies
Background:
- Over fifty yoga styles are used therapeutically, but many lack validation.
- Standardized yoga programs are crucial for consistent therapeutic outcomes.
- Current development and validation methods for yoga interventions vary widely.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review methodologies for therapeutic yoga module development.
- To assess the quality of existing yoga intervention programs.
- To introduce a quality assessment checklist for yoga modules.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of 37 articles from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
- Development of a 23-item checklist to assess yoga module quality (low, medium, high).
- Analysis of common development and validation techniques used in yoga research.
Main Results:
- Only 21.6% of reviewed yoga modules were of high quality; 75.3% were medium quality, and 8.11% were low quality.
- Literature review was common for development, and expert Likert scale scoring for validation.
- Module feasibility was assessed in only half of the studies.
Conclusions:
- There is a significant need for standardized methods in therapeutic yoga module development.
- The developed 23-item checklist can guide researchers toward more homogeneous development strategies.
- Future research should focus on rigorous validation and standardization of yoga interventions for various diseases.

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

An analytical methodology can be divided into four sequential steps: technique, method, procedure, and protocol. A technique is a scientific principle that rationalizes a specific phenomenon through chemical measurements. Adapting a technique for analyzing a sample of interest is termed a method. The procedure outlines the directions for performing the analysis via an analytical method. The protocol is the detailed guidelines on the procedure, which should be strictly followed to obtain the...

01:29Reliability and Validity
12.8K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

2.8K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
