Patients with cardiovascular diseases usually suffer from hospital anxiety and depression.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of foot reflexology massage on anxiety and depression in female older adults suffering from acute coronary syndrome.
Ninety older women with acute coronary syndrome were randomly assigned into intervention and control groups (n=45 in each group).
A randomized controlled trial.
The intervention and control groups received foot reflexology massage and routine care, respectively.
The levels of anxiety and depression were evaluated using the hospital's anxiety and depression scale (HADS) before and immediately after foot reflexology massage.
Foot reflexology massage reduced both anxiety (F(1.44)=19.11, = .001) and depression (F(1.44)=16.76, = .001) in acute coronary patients relative to control patients. The intervention had a large effect on hospital anxiety and depression.
Foot reflexology massage is an efficient and safe intervention for alleviating psychological responses among female older adults suffering from acute coronary syndrome during hospitalization.
心血管疾病患者通常会遭受医院焦虑和抑郁。
本研究旨在调查足部反射疗法按摩对患有急性冠状动脉综合征的老年女性焦虑和抑郁的影响。
90名患有急性冠状动脉综合征的老年女性被随机分为干预组和对照组(每组n = 45)。
一项随机对照试验。
干预组和对照组分别接受足部反射疗法按摩和常规护理。
在足部反射疗法按摩前和按摩后立即使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HADS)评估焦虑和抑郁水平。
与对照组患者相比,足部反射疗法按摩降低了急性冠状动脉患者的焦虑(F(1.44)=19.11,P =.001)和抑郁(F(1.44)=16.76,P =.001)。该干预对医院焦虑和抑郁有很大影响。
足部反射疗法按摩是一种有效且安全的干预措施,可减轻患有急性冠状动脉综合征的老年女性在住院期间的心理反应。
