Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada primer dismenoreli (PD) kadınlarda çevrimiçi yoga temelli egzersiz programının ağrı, menstrual tutum, beden farkındalığı ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma deneysel, randomize kontrollü, tek kör bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya 18-35 yaş arası 50 kadın (müdahale grubunda 25, kontrol grubunda 25) dahil edildi. Çalışmanın başında her iki gruba da PD ve tedavi yöntemleri hakkında bilgilendirme eğitimi verildi. Müdahale grubuna bilgilendirme eğitimine ilave olarak, haftada iki kez, 8 hafta boyunca toplam 16 seans bireysel olarak çevrimiçi yoga temelli egzersiz programı uygulandı. Verilerin toplanmasında Görsel Analog Ölçeği (GAS), Menstruasyon Tutum Ölçeği (MTÖ), Vücut Farkındalığı Anketi (VFA), Kısa Form-36 (SF-36) Anketi ve Memnuniyet Anketi kullanıldı.
Sonuçlar: Müdahale grubunun GAS puanı 6,76'dan 3,76'ya düştü. Müdahale grubundaki GAS (p<0,001), MTÖ (p<0,001), VFA (p<0,001) ve SF-36 (p<0,05) anket puanları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı bulundu. Kontrol grubunda GAS puanı anlamlı derecede artarken (p<0,001), MTÖ (p=0,791) ve VFA (p=0,174) puanlarında herhangi bir değişiklik gözlenmedi. SF-36’da ise sadece sosyal işlevsellik (p=0,05), ağrıda (p=0,002) ve genel sağlıkta (p=0,004) iyileşme gözlendi.
Tartışma: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları çevrimiçi yoga temelli egzersiz programının PD’de ağrı, menstrual tutum, vücut farkındalığı ve yaşam kalitesi üzerinde olumlu etkisinin olduğunu gösterdi.

INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF AN ONLINE YOGA-BASED EXERCISE PROGRAM ON WOMEN WITH PRIMARY DYSMENORRHEA: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Abstract

Purpose: It was aimed to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation method and online yoga-based exercise program on pain, menstrual attitude, body awareness and quality of life in women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD).
Methods: This study is an experimental randomized controlled single-blind study. Fifty women (25 in the intervention group, and 25 in the control group) between the ages of 18-35 were included in the study. At the beginning of the study, both groups were given informational training on PD and treatment methods. In addition to informational training, an online yoga-based exercise program was applied individually to the intervention group, twice a week for 8 weeks, for a total of 16 sessions. Visual analog scale (VAS), menstrual attitude scale (MAS), body awareness questionnaire (BAQ), short form-36 (SF-36), and satisfaction questionnaire were used for data collection.
Results: The VAS score of the intervention group decreased from 6.76 to 3.76 points. VAS (p<0.001), MAS (p<0.001), BAQ (p<0.001), and SF-36 (p<0.05) questionnaire scores in the intervention group were found to be significant compared to the control group. While VAS scores increased significantly (p<0.001) in the control group, no change was observed in MAS (p=0.791) and BAQ (p=0.174) scores. In SF-36, improvement was observed only in social functionality (p=0.050), pain (p=0.002) and general health (p=0.004).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the online yoga-based exercise program had a positive effect on pain, menstrual attitude, body awareness and quality of life in PD.
