본 연구는 간호대학생의 자아존중감에 관한 요가 니드라의 효과를 평가하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 유사실험 연구이다. 연구대상자는 K 지역에 소재한 일개 간호학과 학생 39명을 편의추출 하였고, 실험군에 19명, 대조군에 20명을 할당 하였다. 자료수집기간은 2016년 5월 1일부터 6월 24일까지 이었다. 실험군은 1회당 60분, 주당 2회, 8주 동안 16회의 요가 니드라가 진행되었고, 대조군은 지정된 중재가 없었다. 자아존중감은 Rosenberg의 자아존중감 척도로 측정하였다. 자아존중감 정도는 실험군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 요가 니드라는 간호대학생의 자아존중감을 1.05점 정도 향상시켰고, 추후 간호대학생 뿐만 아니라 일반대학생을 대상으로 자아존중감을 향상시키기 위한 중재도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Excessive stress is harmful to academic performance in children and may lead to dropping out of school. To meet the demands of a modern life-style which is full of speed, stress and tension, an all-round child health program is crucial. The use of yoga for children has diverse applications in maintaining and developing their physical, mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual levels. Yoga, through its physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), cleansing techniques (kriya), meditation therapies (dhyana) and relaxation training (yoga nidra) yields a positive effect in the management of stress in children. Yoga practice benefited children by improving their eye-hand coordination, attention span, levels of concentration, competitive performance and relaxation. Visually impaired children showed a significant decrease in their abnormal anxiety levels when they practiced yoga for three weeks, while a program of physical activity had no such effect. Socially disadvantaged children in a remand home showed significant improvements in sleep, appetite and general well being, as well as a decrease in physiological arousal after yoga. In one study, it is found that a 4-week program of asana and meditation lowers the aggressive behavior of children. Meditation helped to reduce problems related to maladaptive behavior, increase emotional and physical health and psychological well-being in children. Finally, the possible role of yoga in improving the mental state and general well-being of children with cancer is being explored.
