Method: The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The data were collected from July 1 to Aug 31, 2005 at the B hospital in Busan City. 32 psychiatric inpatients were selected as the subjects by the non-probability convenient sampling. The patients were divided into two groups : an experimental group of 17 patients and a control group of 15 patients. Yoga exercise was given to the experimental group three times per wee (50 minutes every time) for two weeks and no program was given to the control group. The frequency of defecation and scores of constipation assessment scales were measured before and after the experiment. The data were analyzed using x²-test, t-test and Repeated measures ANOVA.
