Brief Summary   Nursing eternity is the most valuable assets of any hospital, whose individual performance affects the performance of the entire Hospital. One of the factors affecting performance in Hospitals is work place stress, which puts the Physical as well as psychological health of many Nursing Officers (NO) at risk. Psychological wellbeing underscores the close assembly between wellbeing at psychological aspects of our experience (e.g., our thoughts, emotions, and behavior) and our wider social experience (e.g., our relationships, traditions and culture). It is the combination of feeling good and functioning effectively. There are many psychological variables; mindfulness, self-compassion, empathy, resilience, and Interpersonal relationship which are easily influenced by stress and reduce the productivity.  Yoga is rooted in Indian philosophy and now has been found as a route to physical and mental wellbeing as a stress management intervention.Several studies have already demonstrated the stress reducing effects of yoga and meditation practices in nurses.

The working condition of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses as compared to their counterparts is stressful thereby affecting their psychological wellbeing. As per the existing evidence available, this study will be one of the first studies trying to explore the effect of Yoga on stress and psychological wellbeing of ICU nurses working in a highly demanding working tertiary care center in India.
