Description
Nurses work long, tense shifts that feed stress and lifestyle disease, and yoga is one low-cost counter their own hospitals promote. Suprakash Mandal and co-authors survey nursing officers at a large Delhi hospital in a 2026 study, asking what they know, feel, and believe about yoga, and whether they practice it. Just over one hundred officers answered.
Most knew yoga as a healthy practice and held warm attitudes toward it. Yet only about half had ever practiced, and barely one in eight practiced now. Knowledge, attitude, and belief scores rose together, and each ran higher among those who had practiced at some point. Belief, above the rest, predicted current practice. The authors say closing the gap between knowing and doing is the real target for workplace programs.
