Abstract

Objective: To assess differences in improvement of hiesho (sensitivity to cold) through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of one group that used a self-care program (the Home Care Package Program for Relieving Hiesho) and another that did not.

Methods: Participants were pregnant women experiencing hiesho in the 28th to 33rd weeks of pregnancy. The group carried out the intervention program for 4 weeks by wearing leg warmers, performing exercises, and pressing acupuncture points. The control group did not take any specific actions. Hiesho condition was assessed by using thermography to measure temperature in the four limbs; the changes were analyzed.

Results: Findings for 140 pregnant women (73 in the experimental group and 67 in the control group) were analyzed. Participants' body temperatures were measured after completion of the program for 4 weeks and compared to their temperatures before start of the program. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had arm skin temperature 3.0°C (p < 0.001) higher and leg skin temperature 1.93°C (p = 0.02) higher; both differences were significant.

Conclusion: The Home Care Package Program for Relieving Hiesho self-care program significantly relieved hiesho.

评估孕妇自我护理方案缓解妊娠期疼痛效果的随机对照试验。
目的:通过一项随机对照试验(RCT)来评估hiesho(对寒冷的敏感性)改善的差异,一组使用了自我护理计划(缓解hiesho的家庭护理一揽子计划),另一组没有。方法:研究对象为妊娠28 ~ 33周的孕妇。实验组通过穿护腿、运动、按压穴位等方式进行干预,干预期为4周。对照组没有采取任何具体的行动。采用热像仪测量四肢温度评估Hiesho状态;分析了这些变化。结果:对140例孕妇(实验组73例,对照组67例)的结果进行分析。研究人员在项目结束4周后测量了参与者的体温,并将其与项目开始前的体温进行了比较。与对照组比较,实验组上臂皮肤温度3.0℃(p)。结论:居家护理包方案缓解Hiesho自我护理方案显著缓解Hiesho。
