This clinical randomized trial was performed with the objective to evaluate the stress levels of the nursing staff of a hospital and analyze the effectiveness of auriculotherapy with needles and seeds. The 75 participants with mean (44/58.7%) and high (31/41.3%) scores according to the Stress Symptoms List were divided into groups (control, needles, and seeds), who received eight sessions on the Shenmen, Kidney and Brainstem points and were evaluated at the baseline, fourth and eighth sessions and on the 15-day follow-up session. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences among the groups at the third assessment (F=3.963/P=0.023) and follow-up (F=6.136/P=0.003). These differences occurred between the control and needle groups. The 'seeds' and needles groups both showed differences (p<0.05) at the second assessment when compared within the same group. In conclusion, auriculotherapy reduced the stress in the nursing staff, with needles showing better results than seeds for high scores, maintaining the effects for 15 days.
本临床随机试验旨在评估某医院护理人员的压力水平，并分析耳针疗法和耳穴压籽法的有效性。根据压力症状清单，将75名平均得分（44/58.7%）和高分（31/41.3%）的参与者分为几组（对照组、耳针组和耳穴压籽组），他们在神门、肾和脑干穴位接受了8次治疗，并在基线、第4次和第8次治疗以及15天随访时进行了评估。方差分析（ANOVA）显示，在第三次评估（F=3.963/P=0.023）和随访（F=6.136/P=0.003）时，各组之间存在显著差异。这些差异出现在对照组和耳针组之间。在第二次评估时，“耳穴压籽”组和耳针组在同一组内比较时均显示出差异（p<0.05）。总之，耳穴疗法减轻了护理人员的压力。对于高分者，耳针的效果优于耳穴压籽，且效果维持15天。
