Abstract

We evaluated compliance to learn Rajyoga meditation for improvement in cognitive abilities and behaviour of the children operated for congenital heart disease. Sixty patients with congenital heart disease in the age range of 8-18 years, admitted for cardiac surgery were taken as subjects to an intervention known as Rajyoga Meditation. Each patient along with their attendants was given 60-minute session of Rajyoga Mediation, thrice, in the peri-operative period, during their stay in the ward. The intervention in the form of Rajyoga training was initiated in the preoperative period in a specially designed meditation room and continued in the post operative period. The parameters used were intention-to-participate, social smile and feedback taken from all patients along with their attendants. The results showed acceptance by the children and their parents for the
Rajyoga Meditation to reduce perioperative stress and psychological disturbances imposed due to complex cardiac surgeries. The results were highly encouraging as children and adolescents accepted the intervention.
