The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of an audiotape series employing Relaxation with Guided Imagery (RGI) on the psychophysiologic stress response and wound healing in surgical patients. Twenty-four patients undergoing cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to either RGI or control (quiet period) conditions and measured against three indexes of recovery: state anxiety, urinary cortisol levels, and wound inflammatory responses. An analysis of variance for repeated measures revealed that the RGI group demonstrated significantly less state anxiety, lower cortisol levels one day following surgery, and less surgical wound erythema than the control group. Thus, the RGI tapes demonstrated stress-relieving outcomes closely associated with healing.
本实验的目的是确定采用引导式意象放松（RGI）的录音带系列对外科手术患者心理生理应激反应和伤口愈合的影响。24例行胆囊切除术的患者被随机分为RGI组或对照组（安静期），并根据三个恢复指标进行测量：状态焦虑、尿皮质醇水平和伤口炎症反应。重复测量方差分析显示，RGI组的状态焦虑明显低于对照组，术后一天的皮质醇水平较低，手术伤口红斑也少于对照组。因此，RGI录音带显示出与愈合密切相关的减压效果。
