ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Postnatal yoga has been found to be effective for maternal mental health management. But a validated yoga module for the mental health of early postpartum mothers with infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is lacking.AIM:
To design and validate a yoga module for the mental health of early postpartum mothers having infants admitted to the NICU. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
First phase A yoga module was designed through a review of published research articles and yogic texts for NICU mothers. Second phase thirty-eight yoga experts validated the yoga module. Lawshe's formula was used to calculate each item's content validity ratio (CVR). The intra-class correlation coefficient was determined for the validated yoga module. Third phase The validated yoga module was pilot-tested with a sample size of 20 NICU mothers.RESULTS:
Thirty-eight yoga experts validated the yoga module for NICU mothers. Thirteen practices included in the module indicated good content validity (cutoff value 0.316). The module's content validity index (CVI) and intra-class correlation coefficient were 0.672 and 0.924, respectively. Ten days of practicing the yoga module resulted in a significant reduction in maternal stress levels in the yoga group (p < 0.001) compared to the control group (p = 0.427).CONCLUSION:
The present study suggests good content validity of the yoga module for the mental health of NICU mothers. However, future randomized controlled trials must be carried out to determine both the feasibility and clinical efficacy of the Yoga Module for NICU mothers.Palabras clave
