The Effect of Patience Education and Hatha Yoga Exercises on College Student’s Depression during Corona Virus
Abstrct
This study aimed to examine the effects of patience education grounded in religious doctrines and Hatha Yoga exercises on depression among college students during the COVID-19 outbreak, a period marked by increased mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse due to home quarantine and physical distancing measures. A semi-experimental design was employed, featuring both pre-test and post-test assessments, with two experimental groups and one control group. The sample comprised 45 female students from Inion University who scored one standard deviation above the mean on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (n=15 each) and one control group (n=15). The first experimental group received patience education based on religious teachings, while the second group engaged in Hatha Yoga exercises. The control group did not receive any intervention. All training sessions were conducted virtually via video conferencing. Both before and after the intervention, participants completed the Beck Depression Short Inventory (BDI-S). Data analysis was performed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated a significant reduction in mean depression scores among the participants in the patience education group compared to those in the Hatha Yoga group in the post-test (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that patience education based on religious doctrines is more effective in alleviating depression among female students than Hatha Yoga exercises. It is recommended that a combined program integrating patience training rooted in religious teachings with Hatha Yoga practices may serve as an effective approach to mitigate depression in this demographic.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
