M, Silambanan S, Kantipudi SJ, Sathianathan R, R. P. Development and Validation of Yoga Protocol for Patients with Depression

Background

Scientific evidence suggests that yoga is beneficial for treating mental health disorders. To the best of our knowledge, minimal studies have been done on the development of a yoga module for the specific clinical aspects of depression and there is no particular study on yoga protocol development for mild depression and moderate depression.

Purpose

The primary aim of this study is to develop specific yoga protocol modules for treating patients affected with mild and moderate depression.

Methods

Yoga protocols for treating mild and moderate depression were developed using classical yoga texts, previous literature, and with the help of yoga experts. 26 practices for mild depression and 35 practices for moderate depression were identified, each of which was scored as (a) not essential, (b) useful but not essential, and (c) essential, and content validity ratio (CVR) determined using Lawshe's formula for the validation.

Results

Expert's opinion revealed that 13 out of 28 practices and 12 out of 35 practices showed significant CVR (>0.60) for mild and moderate depression.

Conclusions

The yoga practices developed based on experts' opinion is the first step toward the development of a validated protocol for mild and moderate depression. This will be assessed for its effectiveness through a randomized controlled study to confirm the module's efficiency.

Surgical site infection prevention bundle for children submitted to cardiac surgery

OBJECTIVE

To build and validate the content and appearance of a surgical site infection prevention bundle for children submitted to cardiac surgery.

METHOD

Methodological study in two phases: 1) Bundle construction from an integrative literature review from which interventions have been extracted to compose the instrument; 2) Bundle content and appearance validation by 24 judges.

RESULTS

The 24 found articles presented 17 interventions for surgical site infection prevention in this population. Out of them, seven intervention proposals have been chosen to compose the bundle and sent for assessment by judges. The final proposal includes all the seven items chosen in the construction phase and has achieved a content validity index over 0.8 in all items referring to content and appearance.

CONCLUSION

The content and appearance of the developed bundle proposes care for the prevention of surgical site infection throughout the perioperative period.
