The intervention group participated in a 60-minutes session of THAI YOGA (RUE SI DAD TON) every day for 12 consecutive weeks. The control group only received routine hospital education. Data were collected using interviews and record forms. The content validity of the questionnaires were evaluated using the Index of item-objective congruence (IOC) yielding results of 0.75 - 1.00.
