To determine the effect of acupressure on anxiety and sleep quality after cardiac surgery.
A randomized pre-post test control group design.
Patients after cardiac surgery were divided into two groups: the intervention group (n = 50), who received acupressure on four different acupoints plus standard care, and the control group (n = 50), who received only standard care. Patients were admitted to the surgical clinic from the intensive care unit after 3 or 4 days of surgery. The levels of anxiety and sleep quality were evaluated during three postoperative days starting from their first day in the surgical clinic.
Among the patients in the intervention group, the usage of acupressure decreased the level of anxiety and increased the sleep quality significantly compared with the control group (P < .05).
Our findings showed that acupressure decreased the level of anxiety and improved the sleep quality in the surgical clinic after cardiac surgery.
确定穴位按压对心脏手术后焦虑和睡眠质量的影响。
随机前后测对照组设计。
心脏手术后的患者分为两组:干预组(n = 50),接受四个不同穴位的穴位按压加标准护理;对照组(n = 50),仅接受标准护理。患者在手术后3或4天从重症监护病房转入外科门诊。从他们进入外科门诊的第一天开始,在术后三天内评估焦虑水平和睡眠质量。
与对照组相比,干预组患者使用穴位按压显著降低了焦虑水平并提高了睡眠质量(P < .05)。
我们的研究结果表明,穴位按压降低了心脏手术后外科门诊患者的焦虑水平,改善了睡眠质量。
