Abstract

Aims: Anxiety is a common phenomenon in cardiovascular diseases and its control is very important. This study aimed to investigate the effect of guided imagery on anxiety in hospitalized patients with acute coronary syndrome in the cardiac intensive care unit. Materials & Methods: In this clinical trial in 2014, 50 patients with acute coronary syndrome in the cardiac intensive care unit of 22 Bahman Hospital in Gonabad City, Iran, were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. At first, all the samples completed the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory questionnaire and Visual Analog Scale of anxiety. In addition to usual care, experimental group listened to the CD of guided imagery 2 times a day, morning and night for 16 minutes and the control group received only routine care. At the end, the mentioned questionnaires were filled again and the data were analyzed in SPSS 14.5 software by independent T-test, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests. Findings: The mean of pretest and posttest scores of total anxiety and hidden anxiety in the experimental group decreased significantly compare with the control group (p 0.05). Conclusion: Guided imagery can reduce the total anxiety and hidden anxiety of heart patients with acute coronary syndrome hospitalized in cardiac intensive care unit.

引导可视化对心脏重症监护病房急性冠脉综合征患者焦虑的影响

目的:焦虑是心血管疾病的常见现象，其控制十分重要。本研究旨在探讨引导影像对急性冠状动脉综合征住院患者焦虑的影响。材料与方法:本临床试验于2014年选取伊朗戈纳巴德市22 Bahman医院心内科重症监护病房急性冠状动脉综合征患者50例，采用方便抽样法随机分为对照组和实验组。首先，所有被试完成了斯皮尔伯格状态焦虑量表和焦虑视觉模拟量表。实验组在常规护理的基础上，每天早晚听导象CD 2次，每次16分钟，对照组只接受常规护理。最后重新填写上述问卷，并在SPSS 14.5软件中采用独立t检验、卡方检验和Fisher精确检验对数据进行分析。结果:实验组总焦虑和隐性焦虑的前测和后测均数较对照组显著降低(p < 0.05)。结论:心内科重症监护病房急性冠状动脉综合征患者的总焦虑和隐性焦虑均有明显降低。
