[Effect of auricular-point pressure combined with personalized music therapy on perioperative stress response in primipara].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the effect of auricula-point pressure combined with personalized music therapy on perioperative stress response in primipara.

METHODS

A total of 1000 primiparas who were elective for cesarean section were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 500 cases in each one. 1 h before surgery and 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after surgery, individualized music relaxation intervention was given for 1 h in the two groups. On the basis of the treatment, auricular-point pressure was added at Pizhixia (AT), Shenmen (TF), Xin (CO), Zigong (uterus), Luanchao (ovary), Neishengzhiqi (TF) in the observation group. Each point was pressed for 1 min each time, repeated once every 15 min, the force is from light to heavy, and it is better to have a feeling of distension, sourness and radiation in the auricle. The scores of anxiety self-rating scale, visual analog scale (VAS), heart rate, systolic blood pressure, thyroid stimulating hormone, cortisol and blood glucose levels were observed in the two groups.

RESULTS

A total of 973 primiparas completed the clinical study in the end, including 488 patients in the observation group and 485 patients in the control group. Compared to enrollment, the scores of anxiety self-rating scale before entering the operating room in the two groups were significantly improved (<0.05), and the observation group was superior to the control group (<0.05). Entering the operating room and tracheal extubation, the heart rate and systolic blood pressure of the primiparas in the observation group were more stable than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (<0.05). Entering the operating room, 1 h into the surgery and 3 h after surgery, the thyroid stimulating hormone, cortisol and blood glucose levels of the primiparas in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (<0.05). The VAS scores in the observation group at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after surgery were lower than those in the control group (<0.05).

CONCLUSION

Auricular-point pressure combined with personalized music therapy can reduce the perioperative stress response in primipara and promote the improvement of psychological, physiological and emotional.
