Abstract

Introduction: Post-neurosurgery patients often experience pain and anxiety. Handheld finger-grip relaxation helps the body, mind, and spirit to achieve relaxation.

Objective: This study investigated the effect of a handheld finger-grip relaxation technique on pain and anxiety in post-neurosurgery patients.

Method: A quasi-experimental study of 160 patients was randomly assigned to either the intervention group (received the handheld finger-grip relaxation technique) or the control group (received standard care). The intervention group received the handheld finger-grip relaxation technique for 15 min twice daily for 3 days. The control group received standard care. Pain and anxiety were assessed using a visual analog scale and a Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, respectively.

Results: The results showed that the intervention group had a highly statistically significant difference between pre and post-phase (p < .0000) regarding the severity of pain and anxiety level. Meanwhile, there was a statistically significant difference (p < .05) between pre and post-phase among the control group.

Conclusion: It is suggested that the handheld finger-grip relaxation technique may be an effective intervention for reducing pain and anxiety in post-neurosurgery patients.

手持式指握放松技术对神经外科术后患者疼痛和焦虑的影响

导言神经外科手术后的患者经常会感到疼痛和焦虑。手持式指握放松法可以帮助患者实现身、心、灵的放松：本研究探讨了手持式指握放松技术对神经外科术后患者疼痛和焦虑的影响：160名患者被随机分配到干预组（接受手持式指握放松技术）或对照组（接受标准护理）。干预组接受手持式指握放松技术，每天两次，每次 15 分钟，共 3 天。对照组接受标准护理。疼痛和焦虑分别用视觉模拟量表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表进行评估：结果表明，干预组前后阶段的差异具有高度统计学意义（P P 结论：干预组的疼痛和焦虑程度低于对照组：手持式指握放松技术可有效缓解神经外科术后患者的疼痛和焦虑。
