AUTHOR(S): Alok Jhinkwan, Nikhil Sharma and Krishna Suryawanshi
ABSTRACT:
Background: Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion and reduced sense of accomplishment, is a prevalent issue among teachers, adversely affecting their job satisfaction and overall well-being. This study aims to explore whether yoga nidra, a relaxation technique rooted in yoga traditions, can effectively alleviate burnout symptoms among educators.
Material and Methods: Total of 30 school teachers participated in this randomized controlled trial, with 12 individuals assigned to a control group which underwent no intervention and 18 to a treatment group who underwent the yoga nidra intervention of 4 weeks. Burnout levels were assessed using a standardized questionnaire to measure burnout levels both before and after the intervention period.
Results: Analysis of the pre and post data was done using SPSS software. ANCOVA statistical technique was used to analyze the data. The analyzed data suggested a significant reduction in burnout symptoms among participants of the yoga nidra intervention group compared to those in the control group.
Conclusion: Yoga nidra emerges out as an effective intervention for managing burnout among school teachers. Further research is recommended to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of yoga nidra on burnout prevention and management in educational settings.
