The Effect of Preoperational Hand Massage Anxiety Level And Hemodynamic Variables

The Effect of Preoperational Hand Massage Applied to Children on Anxiety Level And Hemodynamic Variables: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The study was conducted randomly controlled experimental to determine the effect of hand massage applied to pre-operative children on anxiety level and physical symptoms of anxiety.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Anxiety; Hemodynamic Instability
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Hand Massage

Detailed Description

On operation morning, "Child and Parent Introduction Form", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children" were read to and "Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Inspection Form" measurement was done on children in both groups, and their 1st measurement values were recorded. Routine treatment and nursing care applications of the service were done preoperationally. After the researcher and the children in study group sat on a chair facing each other, hand massage procedure, 8 minutes to both hands and a total of 16 minutes hand massage was applied with liquid petrolatum. No massage was applied to children in control group. Right 16 minutes after the 1st filled forms in each group, "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children", "Physiological Symptoms of Anxiety Inspection Form" were read, measurement was done and 2nd measurement values were recorded. Furthermore, "Satisfaction Evaluation Scale" was marked by those in study group after the massage, and measurement values were recorded.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Anxiety evaluated using the State Anxiety Scale	Scores ranging from 20 to 80 points are obtained in the scale. In the total score obtained from the scale in scoring the scale, 0-19 points indicate the absence of anxiety, 20-39 points indicate mild anxiety, 40-59 points indicate moderate anxiety, and 60-79 points indicate severe anxiety level. Higher state anxiety scores indicate that anxiety level is also hig	Change from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Blood pressure	systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mmHg	Change from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)
Heart rate	beats per minute	Change from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)
respiratory rate	ekspiration and inspiration per minute	Change from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)
peripheral oxygen saturation	%, percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in peripheral arterial blood	Change from before implementation and after 16 minutes of practice (hand massage)
