ABSTRACT
 Objective: In this systematic review, it was aimed to reveal the place of yoga in nursing care by evaluating the work done by nurses on yoga and to evaluate its effectiveness. Material and Methods: The study was limited in the databases of Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, EBSCO Information Services, Google Scholar, Medline, Ovid between January 1, 2015 and July 30, 2019. "Yoga" "nursing", "yoga therapy" keywords were searched and national and international studies were searched. When the key words "yoga" and "nursing" were scanned, 3.049 data were obtained. All original research articles published in English/Turkish, published by nurses and accessible to the full text were included in the study. A total of 34 studies, all of which met the criteria and were in English, were evaluated. Results: In the evaluation of the data, general characteristics of the studies, yoga interventions performed by nurses, frequency, duration, sample groups were reported. Hatha yoga, yin-yang yoga, laughter yoga and facial yoga were generally used in the studies. The frequency of yoga practice is between one and seven days a week; the duration of administration ranged from thirty to ninety minutes per session for four days to twelve weeks. Subjects of study; stress, sleep, fatigue, incontinence, burnout, self-care, awareness, immunity, weight loss, self-esteem, body image, anxiety, dysmenorrhea, labor pains and lung functions. Pregnant women, students, nurses, elderly, infertile individuals, healthy individuals, and depression, cancer, Parkinson's, schizophrenia and rheumatoid arthritis patients were included in the study. Conclusion: In this systematic review, yoga practices which have been performed as a nursing intervention for the last five years have been frequently studied on stress, sleep, selfcare, anxiety, depression, awareness and with nurses, nursing students and pregnant women. In addition, scientific evidence has been obtained showing that it has a positive effect. However, it is emphasized in the literature that yoga should be applied for at least eight weeks in order to have a positive effect.
