Varsha Sv

Abstract :

 

High salaries and social status associated with the IT sector has attracted women to take up these jobs. But on the other hand, the nature of job in IT industry has a negative impact on the employee’s physical and mental health. Fewer studies have been carried out on health problems generated due to stress among women in IT industry, hence the present study is attempted to see the effect of yoga on professional stress seen in women software engineers. Study was done on 52 software engineers, of which yoga group comprised women who were undergoing regular yoga training of 1 hour duration for past 6 months. 26 subjects who were not practicing yoga were included in non Yoga group. Professional stress was assessed with Professional Life Stress Scale. Paired t test was done to compare the stress levels. The stress score was significantly less in yoga group compared to non Yoga group, who had stress score in the range of problematic stress.
