Control (no intervention)
Overall
Included criteria: employees who provided direct patient care (including but not limited to nurses, nursing assistants, therapists, physicians, and social workers), older than 18 years. Excluded criteria: the presence of joint or muscle problems that limited mobility (e.g. advanced arthritis, herniated disk, or past injuries that prevent painless or safe movement), having routinely practised yoga or any other MB intervention in the past 6 months, or currently on medication that might interact with the results of salivary cortisol measures, including prednisone, cortisone, or steroid‐based medicine. Pretreatment: reported socio‐demographic baseline characteristics of participants randomised to the intervention group were similar to socio‐demographic baseline characteristics of participants randomised to the control group. Compliance rate: there was 98.7% attendance across all sessions for those in the MB yoga intervention group. Response rate: NR Type of healthcare worker: Nurses & other healthcare professionals |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Once identified as eligible, participants signed consent, completed subjective assessments, and were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group using a computerized randomization tool." |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Difficult to judge whether participants and/or investigators could possibly foresee assignment. However, it is assumed that randomization was performed in one go and that participants and/or investigators could not foresee the assignment. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded whereas outcomes are self‐reported. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Quote: "Two members of the control group were not able to participate in collection of post‐intervention data, due to personal time constraints, yielding an attrition rate of 2.5%." |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | No trial registration or no study protocol reported, nor did we fine one online |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Response rate not reported. |
