目的：了解有创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 症状的个体如何看待创伤敏感昆达里尼瑜伽 (KY) 计划。方法：对参加为期 8 周 KY 治疗计划的 40 名 PTSD 患者进行持续 30-60 分钟的数字录音电话采访。采访内容被逐字记录，并使用定性主题分析技术进行分析。结果：定性分析确定了三个主要主题：自我观察到的变化、新意识和瑜伽计划本身。研究结果表明，参与者注意到健康和福祉、生活方式、心理社会整合以及自我与世界关系的认知等方面的变化。提出了与创伤相关的规划的实用建议。结论：有必要考虑替代性的和潜在的增强创伤治疗方法。与瑜伽相关的自我护理或自我管理策略广泛普及，具有赋权作用，并且可以解决创伤后应激障碍的身心因素。
Objective: To understand how individuals with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) perceive a trauma-sensitive Kundalini yoga (KY) program.Methods: Digitally recorded telephone interviews 30-60 minutes in duration were conducted with 40 individuals with PTSD participating in an 8-week KY treatment program. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis techniques.Results: Qualitative analysis identifies three major themes: self-observed changes, new awareness, and the yoga program itself. Findings suggest that participants noted changes in areas of health and well-being, lifestyle, psychosocial integration, and perceptions of self in relation to the world. Presented are practical suggestions for trauma-related programming.Conclusion: There is a need to consider alternative and potentially empowering approaches to trauma treatment. Yoga-related self-care or self-management strategies are widely accessible, are empowering, and may address the mind-body elements of PTSD.
