Nursing staffs expose to a high level of anxiety. This study aimed to compare the effect of Benson's relaxation and systematic desensitization methods for decreasing the anxiety score of nurses.
In a randomized clinical trial, 72 female nurses were assigned randomly to three different groups. Benson's relaxation and systematic desensitization were used as intervention beside control group. After intervention, the Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory was used for measuring the anxiety score. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey test, and paired -test were applied for comparing three group scores.
The ANOVA test showed that a significant difference among three groups regarding scores of posttrait and poststate anxiety ( < 0.05). The Tukey test showed that both Benson's relaxation and systematic desensitization methods were effective in decreasing of the anxiety score of nurses. Moreover, the mean change in trait and state anxiety scores at Benson's relaxation and systematic desensitization groups was more than control group, respectively, and was statistically significant.
Both Benson's relaxation and systematic desensitization methods are effective in improvement of the state and trait dimensions of anxiety. However, these methods could be applied in stressful situation among medical staffs of students.
护理人员面临高度焦虑。本研究旨在比较本森放松法和系统脱敏法对降低护士焦虑评分的效果。
在一项随机临床试验中,72名女性护士被随机分为三组。除对照组外,采用本森放松法和系统脱敏法作为干预措施。干预后,使用斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表测量焦虑评分。采用方差分析(ANOVA)、图基检验和配对检验比较三组评分。
方差分析表明,三组在特质焦虑和状态焦虑评分后存在显著差异(<0.05)。图基检验表明,本森放松法和系统脱敏法均能有效降低护士的焦虑评分。此外,本森放松组和系统脱敏组特质焦虑和状态焦虑评分的平均变化分别高于对照组,且具有统计学意义。
本森放松法和系统脱敏法均能有效改善焦虑的状态和特质维度。然而,这些方法可应用于医护学生的压力情境中。
