Abstract: (861 Views)
Background: Menopause is a natural and physiological event in women's lives and typically covers one-third of a woman's life. Pelvic organ prolapse and anxiety are among the physical and psychological consequences that menopausal women experience. Various treatment methods have been used to reduce these problems in menopausal women, but there is a research gap regarding the efficacy of yoga training along with progressive relaxation on the physical and psychological problems of this group of women.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of yoga techniques training combined with progressive relaxation on improving symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and perception of anxiety control in menopausal women.
Methods: The method of this study was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group and a one and a half month follow-up. The statistical population of the study included all postmenopausal women who responded to the call from the Tolo Salamat Clinic in Tehran and expressed their willingness to participate in the present study. To select a statistical sample using the convenience sampling method, 30 people were selected from among them. Then, these individuals were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control groups (15 people). Research data were also collected using the Anxiety Control Questionnaire (Rapee et al., 1996) and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-short form (Barber et al., 2005). The experimental group underwent a yoga and progressive muscle relaxation training program (a 10-session program, each session lasting 90 minutes). Also, to analyze the research data, the mixed analysis of variance method was used using SPSS-24 software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that training in yoga techniques along with progressive relaxation was effective in improving symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and perception of anxiety control in postmenopausal women (P< 0.05). The results of the study also indicated that the effect of the therapeutic intervention used in the follow-up phase remained stable (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the findings of this study on the effectiveness of yoga training combined with progressive relaxation on improving symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and perceived of anxiety control in menopausal women, It is suggested that Physicians and health psychologists use these methods to improve physical indicators and reduce anxiety in women during menopause.
