An experimental quantitative design was conducted, comparing the scores for self-reported pain, anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate and pain of two groups of patients before and immediately after, and three days after the intervention. The intervention consisted of ten minutes of slow-stroke back massage (SSBM) for seven consecutive evenings. One hundred and two patients participated in the entire study and were randomly assigned to a massage group or a control group. The results revealed that the massage intervention significantly reduced the patients’ levels of pain perception and anxiety. In addition to the subjective measures, all physiological measures (systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate) changed positively, indicating relaxation. The prolonged effect of SSBM was also evident, as reflected by the maintenance of the psycho-physiological parameters three days after the massage. The patients’ perceptions of SSBM, determined from a questionnaire, revealed positive support for SSBM for elderly stroke patients.</p><p>The authors suggest that SSBM is an effective nursing intervention for reducing shoulder pain and anxiety in elderly patients with stroke.

Given the substantial demand for CM, the government acknowledges its structural integration with orthodox medicine (OM) to be a logical progression. However, although the time frame, evidence bases and regulatory structures are as yet undetermined, key to the current emphasis on integration is an underlying assumption that private sector providers would be willing participants, potentially alongside nurses. In this context, using a combined questionnaire (<em>n</em>=426) and interview (<em>n</em>=49) survey, this paper makes an initial exploration and considers the current connections that private therapists have with OM and their attitudes towards collaborating with and working within the NHS. The majority of therapists claimed not to have existing business connections with NHS providers, though many stated that they had established some form of informal arrangements. In general, therapists were happy that they had experienced increasingly positive reactions from orthodox clinicians towards their therapies. The overwhelming majority of therapists were positive about the proposition of working within OM but did have certain reservations. Given the range and intensity of opinion found in this initial investigation, the paper concludes by signposting some substantive avenues of focused research inquiry on the structural integration of CM and OM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79481,"journal":{"name":"Complementary therapies in nursing & midwifery","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 217-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ctnm.2003.11.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24792163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six Caucasian female patients (mean age=43.2yr) participated in two treatment sessions. Outcome assessments included the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Fatigue Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory. In-session process measures included thermal biofeedback monitoring and subjective units of discomfort ratings of pain, stress, and fatigue. Four out of six subjects were considered treatment responders. Thermal biofeedback monitoring revealed an average increase in hand temperature of 5.4° indicating a relaxation effect. At treatment termination, average scores decreased on the measures of anxiety (28.6%), depression (29.9%), fibromyalgia impact (12.6%), and fatigue (11.5%). At the 3-month follow-up assessment, total reductions in average scores from pre-treatment baseline reflected further improvements on measures of anxiety (45.8%), depression (31.6%), fibromyalgia impact (19.2%), and fatigue (26.7%). Because EMD produced a somewhat automatic relaxation response with minimal patient participation, it may be especially useful when standard relaxation techniques fail.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79481,"journal":{"name":"Complementary therapies in nursing & midwifery","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 245-249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ctnm.2004.06.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24792167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
