1 A Study on Prevalence, Protection and Recovery From COVID-19 in Seasoned Yoga Practitioners in Comparison to Age and Gender Matched Controls

The study is a randomized controlled trail with an observational arm and aims at collecting information on the prevalence of COVID 19 infection in seasoned yoga practitioners by comparing it with the prevalence of COVID-19 infection prevalence rates among age and gender matched control participants who do not practice yoga. The study hypothesizes that yoga practice promotes protection and enhances recovery from the COVID-19 infection. To prove the hypothesis, the study investigators are collecting and comparing responses from seasoned yoga practitioners to age and gender matched controls participants (who do not practice yoga routinely) regarding their recovery from the COVID 19 infection. Based on validated questionnaires on perceived stress, anxiety, depression, well-being, mindfulness, joy disposition, and resilience in participants over the study duration, the investigators also collect information on participant's mental and emotional predispositions.

NCT04498442 Covid19 Stress Anxiety Depression Behavioral: Simha Kriya Behavioral: Reading a Book
MeSH:Depression

Primary Outcomes

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in perceived levels of stress in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, Perceived Stress Scale. The scale measures the degree to which situations in participant's life are appraised as stressful. This is the primary outcome for our study. We assess for change in perceived stress levels by analyzing the PSS score for each participant and comparing it to pre & post intervention results.

Measure: Change in Perceived Stress Levels

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in resilience levels in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, Brief Resilience Scale. The scale identifies the individual's ability to bounce back or recover from a stress. This is the key secondary outcome for our study. We assess for change in resilience levels by analyzing the 6-item BRS, which computes a score for each participant by dividing total score obtained/number of questions responded; (range 6-30) and comparing it to pre & post intervention results.

Measure: Changes in Resilience Levels

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in Covid-19 prevalence in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. Based on the reported number of cases in the participant cohort we compute Period Prevalence for 3 specified time points. We assess for change in reported prevalence and stratify the results to match with region-wise prevalence.

Measure: Changes in Covid-19 Prevalence

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in self-reported duration of fever and respiratory symptoms in Covid-19 positive survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. Based on the reported number of positive cases in the participant cohort we compare the frequency of duration between the two cohorts i.e. yoga practitioners and control; followed by a comparison between the two control groups viz: yoga group vs idle group.

Measure: Changes in self-reported duration of fever and respiratory symptoms in COVID-19 positive participants

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in self-reported readiness to return to work in Covid-19 positive survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. Based on the reported number of positive cases in the participant cohort we compare the frequency of readiness between the two cohorts i.e. yoga practitioners and control; followed by a comparison between the two control groups viz: yoga group vs idle group.

Measure: Changes in self-reported readiness to return to work in COVID-19 positive participants

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Other Outcomes

Description: We assessed for change in Mindfulness levels in all participants by using a short form of the validated scale for this purpose namely, Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The scale measures the individuals' ability for receptive awareness and attention to present. We compute the MAAS scores for each participant which is a mean score for 5 item questionnaires and compare the pre & post intervention results to look for change.

Measure: Changes in Mindfulness

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: We assess for change in the individuals' ability to feel joy and look for it in the mundane by using a validated scale for this purpose namely, Dispositional Positive Emotions Scale (DPES) particularly the Joy subscale. The Sub-scale measures the individuals' dispositional ability to feel joy in life. We compute the DPES-JOY subscale scores for each participant which is a mean score for 6 item questionnaires and compare the pre & post intervention results to look for change.

Measure: Changes in Dispositional Positive Emotions Scale (DPES- Joy subscale)

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in anxiety and depression levels in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, 4 Item-Patient Health Questionnaire measuring Anxiety and Depression (PHQ-4) Scale. The 4 question scale screens for anxiety and depression in participants by computing sum for the responses (scores range: 0-12) and comparing it to pre & post intervention results.

Measure: Changes in 4 Item-Patient Health Questionnaire measuring Anxiety and Depression (PHQ-4) levels

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The study aims to evaluate changes in wellbeing levels in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, Warwick- Edinburgh Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS). The scale identifies the individual's aspects of mental health such as: positive affect, satisfying interpersonal relationship and positive functioning. We assess for change in 14 item well-being levels by analyzing the total WEMWBS score for each participant and comparing it to pre & post intervention results.

Measure: Changes in well being levels

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Description: The purpose of the growth inventory is to capture the positive outcomes reported by a person who have experienced a traumatic event. This scale collects information from only those participants who identify as being hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic and look for their coping ability to the aftermath of the trauma. This 21 item scale is rated on a 6-point Likert response scale. Response from each of the 6 question is then summed to create a total PTGI score.

Measure: Changes in Post Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) scores

Time: Baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks
