Healthcare Worker Demographics and Anxiety Scores from a Yoga and Gita Trial

A randomized controlled trial in India assessed psychological distress among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset contains demographic characteristics and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD7) scale scores for 68 participants across four intervention groups. It was authored by Nishant Das and uploaded to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of Yoga interventions on anxiety scores based on GAD7 measurements
• Comparing the durability of effects between Yoga and Bhagavad Gita learning interventions
• Investigating subgroup effects, such as benefits among women or those who continued practice
• Evaluating the combined effect of Yoga+Gita on immediate psychological distress reduction

Strengths

• Data comes from a prospective, randomized controlled trial with a clear methodology
• Includes three time-point assessments: baseline, immediate post-intervention, and 45 days post-intervention
• No losses to follow-up were reported among the 68 enrolled participants

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope
