Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of hand massage on patient anxiety and comfort before cataract surgery.

Design

A randomized controlled trial.

Methods

The 140 patients in this study were assigned to the intervention group (n = 70), which received a 10-minute hand massage before cataract surgery, and to the control group (n = 70), which received routine nursing care. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to collect data.

Findings

The median STAI state scores of the intervention and control groups were found to be 46.0 (44.7 to 48.0) and 57.0 (55.75 to 59.00), respectively. The VAS comfort score of the intervention group after hand massage (4.0 [1.7-5.0]) was lower than that of the control group immediately before surgery (8.0 [6.0-10.0]) (P < .05). In addition, except oxygen saturation, the remaining vital signs were lower in the intervention group.

Conclusions

Hand massage reduced the anxiety of patients, positively affected their vital signs, and increased their comfort.

白内障手术前手部按摩对患者焦虑和舒适的影响:一项随机对照研究

目的探讨手部按摩对白内障手术前患者焦虑和舒适度的影响。设计随机对照试验。方法将140例患者分为干预组(70例)和对照组(70例)，干预组在白内障手术前进行10分钟的手部按摩，对照组进行常规护理。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)和Spielberger状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)收集数据。结果干预组和对照组的STAI状态得分中位数分别为46.0(44.7 ~ 48.0)和57.0(55.75 ~ 59.00)。干预组手部按摩后VAS舒适评分(4.0[1.7-5.0])低于对照组术前即刻VAS舒适评分(8.0 [6.0-10.0])(P <. 05)。此外，干预组除血氧饱和度外，其他生命体征均较低。结论推拿减轻了患者的焦虑感，积极影响了患者的生命体征，增加了患者的舒适度。
