المقال يركز على تأثير تدريب اليوغا على الرفاه النفسي للسجناء الذين يعانون من تعاطي المخدرات الصناعية. تم إجراء الدراسة كدراسة شبه تجريبية في مدينة أوريمية، إيران، وشملت 30 فردًا محبوسًا تم تقسيمهم إلى مجموعة تجريبية تتلقى تدريب اليوغا ومجموعة ضابطة. أظهرت النتائج أن اليوغا حسنت بشكل كبير الرفاه النفسي، وتنظيم العواطف، وجودة النوم بين المشاركين، مما يشير إلى إمكانياتها كوسيلة تدخل غير دوائية لمشاكل الصحة النفسية في هذه الفئة. تؤكد الدراسة على الترابط بين العوامل النفسية وفوائد العلاجات البديلة مثل اليوغا في بيئات إعادة التأهيل.

Background: Addiction is a behavioral state, in which a person has difficulty controlling her/his will and desires due to mental instabilities or the consumption of certain chemicals, leading to the repetition of certain behaviors. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of yoga training on psychological well-being, emotion regulation, and sleep quality of prisoners suffering from industrial drug abuse. Methods: The current quasi-experimental study used a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all individuals incarcerated in the prisons of Uremia City, Iran, in 2022, who abused industrial drugs. Thirty individuals were screened in a targeted manner based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to two groups (experimental group=15, control group=15). One group was designated as the yoga therapy group and the other was designated as the control group. A training package was used for yoga training, and emotional regulation was assessed using the questionnaires developed by Garnefski. Psychological well-being was measured using the questionnaire by Ryff and Keyes, and sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index by Buysse. Data were analyzed using a multivariate covariance test and SPSS software, version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: For the 30 prisoners with drug abuse, the research data were analyzed in the experimental and control groups, with a mean age of 39.23±6.04 and 42.4±7.59 years, respectively. The yoga training had a positive effect on the psychological well-being, emotional regulation, and sleep quality of prisoners suffering from industrial drug abuse (P<0.05). Conclusion: Yoga training could increase the mental well-being, emotion regulation, and sleep quality of prisoners suffering from industrial drug abuse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
