Abstract
This randomized control trails (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effects of stress management with yoga therapy program on stress, psychotic symptoms, quality of life and relapse in schizophrenia patients. The sample consisted of schizophrenic patients, aged 20-59 years. They were randomly selected to the experimental and the control group with 20 people in each group. The experimental group received 10 sessions of stress management in conjunction with yoga practices. The control group received usual care. The study was conducted during December 2019 to November 2020. The research tools were: the Brief Psychotic Rating Scale: BPRS; the Thai version of the PSS-10; the Perceived Stress Scale: T-PSS-10; and the WHOQOI-BREF-THAI. Data were analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA. Results showed that the experimental group had lower mean scores of stress and psychotic symptoms, but higher in quality of life than the control group with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). The sample in the experimental group, had not been readmitted; while in the control group, 5 subjects had been readmitted within 3 months. The stress management with yoga therapy program should be used to reduce stress, psychotic symptoms, and readmission rate; while help improve quality of life of people with schizophrenia.
