The present study was conducted to determine the effect of massage on post-cesarean pain and anxiety.
The present single-blind clinical trial was conducted on 156 primiparous women undergone elective cesarean section. The participants were randomly divided into three groups, including a hand and foot massage group, a foot massage group and a control group (n = 52 per group). The patients' intensity of pain, vital signs and anxiety level were measured before, immediately after and 90 min after the massage.
A significant reduction was observed in the intensity of pain immediately and 90 min after massage (P < 0.001). Moreover, changes in some of the physiological parameters, including blood pressure and respiration rate, were significant after massage (P < 0.001); however, this change was not significant for pulse rate. A significant reduction was also observed in the level of anxiety (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in the frequency of breastfeeding (P < 0.001) after massage.
As an effective nursing intervention presenting no side-effects, hand and foot massage can be helpful in the management of postoperative pain and stress.
本研究旨在确定按摩对剖宫产术后疼痛和焦虑的影响。
本单盲临床试验对156例行择期剖宫产的初产妇进行。参与者被随机分为三组，包括手足按摩组、足部按摩组和对照组（每组n = 52）。在按摩前、按摩后即刻和按摩后90分钟测量患者的疼痛强度、生命体征和焦虑水平。
按摩后即刻和90分钟时疼痛强度显著降低（P < 0.001）。此外，按摩后一些生理参数的变化，包括血压和呼吸频率，有显著意义（P < 0.001）；然而，脉搏率的变化无显著意义。按摩后焦虑水平也显著降低（P < 0.001），母乳喂养频率显著增加（P < 0.001）。
作为一种无副作用的有效护理干预措施，手足按摩有助于术后疼痛和应激的管理。
