The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to global health, necessitating the exploration of alternative therapeutic interventions to support recovery. This study examines the efficacy of SKT Meditation Healing Exercise Techniques 1 and 2 in improving vital functions in COVID-19 patients. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-posttest approach was employed. Thirty COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms were recruited using non-probability sampling and divided into an experimental group, which practiced SKT Meditation Healing Exercise Techniques 1 and 2 for 14 days, and a control group that did not receive the intervention. Data collection included self-reported symptom assessments and vital sign measurements before and after the intervention. The results, analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, indicate a significant improvement in vital functions among participants in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that SKT Meditation Healing Exercise Techniques 1 and 2 may serve as a complementary approach to enhance the recovery process in COVID-19 patients. The study highlights the potential benefits of mind-body interventions in managing viral infections and underscores the need for further research with larger sample sizes.
