Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Design: This study was designed as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Research Hypotheses H1: State anxiety levels are lower in patients who perform Qigong exercises than in those who do not.
H2: Depression levels are lower in patients who perform Qigong exercises than in those who do not.
The study population consisted of 140 individuals aged 18 years and older diagnosed with depression who were hospitalized at a private psychiatric hospital in Turkey between March 1 and September 1, 2025. In the sample selection, the STAI-I and Beck Depression Scale were administered to the patients by the researchers. Since differences in anxiety and depression levels would affect group homogeneity, patients who scored below 35 on the STAI-I (mild and moderate levels) and between 17 and 30 on the Beck Depression Scale constituted the study sample. The study sample consisted of 70 patients.
