Introduction: Sleep is an essential process that helps to maintain physical and mental health, and disruption of its quality can lead to physiological and psychological disorders. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mindful yoga on women's sleep quality.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the research included all women with sleep quality problems referred to Darya Yoga Club in Rasht (city) in 2022. Among them, 60 women declared their readiness to participate in the research. Then, by evaluating their sleep quality through the sleep quality questionnaire, 30 with sleep quality disorders were selected as a sample group based on the criteria by the available sampling method and were randomly divided into two equal groups (experimental and control). The experimental group received yoga and mindfulness training in 10 2-hour sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. Petersburg sleep quality questionnaire (1989) was used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of the covariance test.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the sleep quality score in the experimental group were 33.87±11.97 in the pre-test and 22.03±21.93 in the post-test, while, in the control group, they were 43.73±12.69 in the pre-test and 42.87±21.94 in the post-test. By examining the effect of the intervention on the components of sleep quality, it was found that conscious yoga exercises had a significant effect on at least one of the components, resulting in improved sleep quality (F=4.28, p=0.001, Eta=0.278) in the experimental group.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of women's health, mindful yoga training can be an effective intervention to improve sleep quality and reduce related disorders.
