To compare the effectiveness of therapeutic touch and causal touch for stress reduction of hospitalized children aged 2 weeks to 2 years old.
Stress reduction was measured by pulse, peripheral skin temperature, and galvanic skin response as observed on the GSR-II biofeedback instrument.
An ANOVA measured effectiveness of the interventions of causal touch and therapeutic touch at 3 and 6 minute intervals. The results demonstrated a significant difference with the critical value of F = 4.18 p less than .05. The computed value of F = 26.98 at 3 minutes and F = 26.94 at 6 minutes.
Therapeutic touch reduced time needed to calm children after stressful experiences.
比较抚触疗法和随意触摸对2周龄至2岁住院儿童减轻压力的效果。
通过GSR-II生物反馈仪观察脉搏、外周皮肤温度和皮肤电反应来测量压力减轻情况。
方差分析在3分钟和6分钟间隔时测量了随意触摸和抚触疗法干预的效果。结果显示F临界值为4.18，p小于.05，存在显著差异。3分钟时F计算值为26.98，6分钟时F计算值为26.94。
抚触疗法减少了儿童在经历压力事件后平静下来所需的时间。
