Background: Nursing students experience poorer mental and physical health relative to students in other health-related disciplines and young adults of similar age outside post-secondary school. Compromised mental and physical health has numerous negative impacts on nursing students and can result in burnout and development of chronic diseases.
Purpose: To determine whether an asynchronous online yoga intervention would improve mental and physical health of students.
Unlabelled: Helping Health Professionals (HHP) and HHP students are among the highest risk occupational groups for compromised mental and physical health. There is a paucity of information regarding preventive interventions for mental and physical health in this group of healthcare providers.
Objective: The objective of this review was to examine the effectiveness of yoga interventions for the prevention and reduction of mental and physical disorders among HHPs and HHP students.
Aim: To investigate the presence and impact of self-sacrifice within the nursing profession.
Background: Evidence suggests the existence of a culture of self-sacrifice within nursing, but its potential detriments to the profession have not been explored.
Design: A qualitative descriptive approach was used.
