The Chair Massage service considered in this evaluation study was provided to carers, visiting in-patients at a major cancer hospital in the UK. The two-stage evaluation comprised: firstly, a retrospective review of treatment records for the previous 12 months (n=182), and secondly, a prospective study, gathering data by interview and a 'next-day' questionnaire from carers (n=34), during 1 week of service delivery. The study at both stages sought to identify who used the service, post-treatment comments and changes in scores using a Feeling Good Thermometer (Field, T., 2000. Touch Therapy. Churchill Livingstone, London). During the second stage the carers were also asked about their concerns and worries, and to report changes in physical and emotional states using visual scales. Findings included significant improvements in physical and psychological scores; these were retained through to the next day. The next-day questionnaire also reported improved sleep for the majority of carers. A number of concerns and worries were raised at interview, notably anxieties about the patient and uncertainty about the future, family and financial worries. Overall, the service was well evaluated with parents and in particular female carers appearing to gain the most from the intervention.
本评估研究中所考虑的椅上按摩服务提供给了在英国一家大型癌症医院探访住院患者的护理人员。两阶段评估包括：第一，对过去12个月的治疗记录进行回顾性审查（n = 182）；第二，进行一项前瞻性研究，在服务提供的1周内，通过访谈和“次日”问卷收集护理人员的数据（n = 34）。两个阶段的研究都试图确定谁使用了该服务、治疗后的评论以及使用“感觉良好温度计”（菲尔德，T.，2000年。触摸疗法。伦敦丘吉尔·利文斯通出版社）的得分变化。在第二阶段，还询问了护理人员的担忧，并要求他们使用视觉量表报告身体和情绪状态的变化。研究结果包括身体和心理得分有显著改善；这些改善一直持续到第二天。次日问卷还报告说，大多数护理人员的睡眠有所改善。访谈中提出了一些担忧，特别是对患者的焦虑、对未来的不确定性、家庭和经济担忧。总体而言，该服务得到了护理人员的良好评价，尤其是女性护理人员似乎从干预中获益最多。
