Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the effect of Benson relaxation response technique (BRRT) on the quality of life (QOL) among patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE).

Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was used to conveniently recruit 170 patients with SLE. Participants were divided into two groups, the control and the intervention group for which the BRRT intervention was administered. Utilising an online questionnaire, the QOL was assessed among the two groups, before and 2 months after the intervention, using the Arabic version of the short form 36-item health survey.

Results: After 2 months of the intervention, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher levels in both components of QOL; physical (t(143.31)=15.35, p<0.001); and mental component (t(143.58)=12.35, p<0.001). Additionally, for the intervention group, the results revealed a statistically significant increase in the levels of both components from baseline measurement; physical (t(84)=-16.24, p<0.001) and mental component (t(84)=-12.93, p<0.001).

Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a notable positive impact of BRRT on QOL among patients with SLE. Healthcare professionals can potentially improve the overall well-being of patients with SLE and complement traditional treatment by implementing BRRT into their care.

本森放松反应技术对系统性红斑狼疮患者生活质量的影响：准实验研究。

目的：探讨Benson松弛反应技术（BRRT）对系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）患者生活质量（QOL）的影响。方法：采用准实验设计，方便地招募170例SLE患者。参与者被分为两组，对照组和BRRT干预组。利用在线问卷，在干预前和干预后2个月对两组的生活质量进行评估，使用阿拉伯语版本的36项简短健康调查。结果：干预2个月后，干预组患者生活质量和生活质量指标均显著高于对照组；physical (t(143.31)=15.35, pt(143.58)=12.35, pt（84)=-16.24, pt(84)=-12.93, p）结论：研究结果表明BRRT对SLE患者的生活质量有显著的积极影响。医疗保健专业人员可以潜在地改善SLE患者的整体健康状况，并通过在他们的护理中实施BRRT来补充传统治疗。

期刊介绍： Lupus Science & Medicine is a global, peer reviewed, open access online journal that provides a central point for publication of basic, clinical, translational, and epidemiological studies of all aspects of lupus and related diseases. It is the first lupus-specific open access journal in the world and was developed in response to the need for a barrier-free forum for publication of groundbreaking studies in lupus. The journal publishes research on lupus from fields including, but not limited to: rheumatology, dermatology, nephrology, immunology, pediatrics, cardiology, hepatology, pulmonology, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry.
