Abstract:
This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effects of yoga on coping with stress in adolescents. The study was conducted in the Famagusta province of Northern Cyprus between September and November 2021. The sample of the study comprised 62 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 16 years, including 30 in the intervention and 32 in the control groups. The descriptive information form, the child and resilience measure (CYRM), and the Kidcope were used for data collection. The intervention group received a 10-week yoga program of 60 minutes twice a week. Pre- and posttest scores were calculated to measure the impact of yoga on resilience and coping with stress. There was a statistically significant difference between the pre- and posttest scores of the yoga intervention group ( P < .05). Besides, there was a statistically significant difference between the scores obtained by the intervention and control groups from the CYRM and the subscales of the Kidcope ( P < .05). These findings imply that yoga contributes to resilience and coping with stress in adolescents. Based on the findings, we suggest that psychiatric nurses may incorporate yoga to protect the mental health of adolescents.
