Older adults often experience loss of partnership, illness, and declining health which can contribute to anxiety and depression. This can be a significant public health concern. Senior centers play an important role in providing support and community which may reduce these symptoms. Yoga-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Y-CBT) is an innovative approach that specifically targets symptoms of anxiety and depression. Within a group model, Y-CBT integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with chair yoga. Y-CBT has demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety and co-occurring depression for adults receiving services at an outpatient behavioral health center. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Y-CBT for older adults attending a senior center setting. Thirty-seven older adults (age 62+) from three senior centers enrolled in the study. After the Y-CBT intervention, anxiety improved (p <.0056) with a large effect size (g = 0.88). Though not significant, depression also improved (g = 0.418), with many participants reporting reduced levels of depression into the minimal or clinically non-significant ranges after, as compared with before the Y-CBT experience. These results indicate that Y-CBT may be a promising approach for the symptoms of anxiety and co-occurring depression which older adults experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
