The patients under cataract surgery often experience anxiety not only during the surgery, but also prior to the surgery.
We sought to determine the effects of slow-stroke back massage on anxiety in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
The study was conducted in the Amiral-momenin Hospital of Zabol city, south-east of Iran.
A total of 60 candidates of cataract surgery participated in the study.
The participants were randomly allocated to either control or intervention groups. The intervention group received slow-stroke back massages, while patients in control group received routine interventions.
The slow-stroke back massage was performed on the patients assigned to the intervention group. The intervention was performed in the morning of the surgery day at 30 minutes before the surgery. The researcher performed each massage session in a sitting position. The duration of each massage session was 15 minutes.
Anxiety was assessed in the both groups in the morning of the surgery, before and immediately after the intervention. Independent samples Student's test, paired samples Student's test, and chi-squared test were used to analyze the data.
Anxiety was not significantly different between the two groups before and after the massage ( = .816). On the other hand, paired samples Student's test showed a significant difference comparing the anxiety scores before (49.7±5.43) and after (45.16±3.89) the massage in the intervention group ( < .001).
Based on our results, slow-stroke back massage, which is a low-cost and safe method, reduced anxiety in patients who were candidates for cataract surgery.
白内障手术患者不仅在手术期间，而且在手术前常常会感到焦虑。
我们试图确定慢节奏背部按摩对白内障手术患者焦虑情绪的影响。
该研究在伊朗东南部扎博勒市的阿米尔-穆明医院进行。
共有60名白内障手术候选患者参与了该研究。
参与者被随机分配到对照组或干预组。干预组接受慢节奏背部按摩，而对照组患者接受常规干预。
对分配到干预组的患者进行慢节奏背部按摩。干预在手术当天上午手术前30分钟进行。研究人员以坐姿进行每次按摩。每次按摩持续时间为15分钟。
在手术当天上午、干预前和干预后立即对两组患者的焦虑情况进行评估。使用独立样本t检验、配对样本t检验和卡方检验分析数据。
按摩前后两组之间的焦虑情况无显著差异（P = 0.816）。另一方面，配对样本t检验显示，干预组按摩前（49.7±5.43）和按摩后（45.16±3.89）的焦虑评分存在显著差异（P < 0.001）。
根据我们的研究结果，慢节奏背部按摩作为一种低成本且安全的方法，可减轻白内障手术候选患者的焦虑情绪。
