ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise and progressive relaxation training on cancer-related fatigue in lung cancer patients during chemotherapy. Methods Sixty lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were randomly assigned to an experiment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The patients in the study group received regular nursing plus 6 weeks aerobic exercise intervention and progressive relaxation training, while the patients in the control group only received regular nursing care. The effect of intervention was evaluated by the Piper fatigue scale (PFS). Results Before the intervention, three were no difference in the PFS scores and all dimentions scores between the two group. After the intervention, the total score of the cancer-related fatigue and the score on every dimension of PFS were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.01). For the control group, the total score and the score on the dimension had insignificant difference between pre-and post-intervention (P<0.01), except the dimensions of emotion and feeling which showed significant differences between pre- and post-intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusion Aerobic exercise and progressive relaxation training can decrease the cancer-related fatigue and improve the quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of progressive relaxation training on the nailfold microcirculation for psychological stress state population .Methods According to the mental health screening criteria ,60 cases of psychological healthy individuals were selected as the research object ,took the attention distribution test as psychological stress stimulation ,test self rating anxiety scale(SAS) and nailfold microcirculation function changes of test before and after stress .60 cases were divided into intervention group and normal control group ,30 cases in each group .The intervention group adopted progressive relaxation training intervention after stress ,while normal control group taking natural rest ,then detected the change of nailfold microcirculation .Results The SAS level and the nailfold microcirculation parameters before and after stress between the two groups were significantly different (P0 .05) .Conclusion Progressive relaxation training can effectively improve the microcirculation state of the psychological stress a-mong people ,under certain conditions ,the effective intervention to the stress state population can influence the microcirculation .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the analgesic effect of progressive muscle relaxation training (PMR) and compound lidocaine cream in hemodialysis patients undergoing puncturing on arteriovenous fistula.Methods 96 hemodialysis patients undergoing puncturing on arteriovenous fistula were randomly divided into the progressive relaxation training group (group A),compound lidocaine cream group (group B),progressive relaxation training and compound lidocaine cream group (group C),and the blank control group (group D),with 24 patients in each group.Compound lidocaine cream were applied on the central puncture point 60 minutes before operation in group B and group C,and the patients of group A and group C were conducted with progressive relaxation training before puncture and sleep,while no intervention were assigned to group D.The pain of each patients were measured in 10 minutes with Visual Analog Scale(VAS).Results The pain scores were respectively (3.042 ± 0.999) in group A,(2.500 ±0.978)in group B,(1.333 ± 0.817) in group C and (5.042 ± 1.122) in group D.The AVOVA under the significant level of 0.05 for factorial date indicated that the main effect of factor A (progressive relaxation training) was statistically significant and the main effect of factor B (compound lidocaine cream) was also statistically significant.And that statistically significant interaction between the two factors was found,too.Conclusions Compound lidocaine cream with progressive relaxation training could alleviate the pain during puncturing arteriovenous fistula from hemodialysis significantly and was better than single use of each method.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation training (CTPRT) on the operation anxiety of patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase.Methods120 patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group received routine care and CTPRT,while the control group only received routine care.The perioperative anxiety status,back and leg pain,heart rate,blood pressure,status of sleeping and urination of the two groups were evaluated respectively.ResultsAnxiety and pain degree in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01).About 30 min pre operation and postoperation,the heart rate and blood pressure of the experimental group were much lower than that of the control group (P<0.01).The experimental group also showed better sleep and urination status.ConclusionsThe cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation training can reduce degree of operation anxiety,release the pain and help promote sleep for patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise therapy and relaxation therapy on catecholamine and heart rate in people in white color jobs and to determine this information the effectiveness of applied exercise therapy and relaxation therapy as a nursing intervention method for stress patients. The subjects were divided into an exercise therapy group, a relaxation therapy group, and control group and the research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-post test design(exercise therapy : n=12, relaxation therapy : n=12, control group, the group without any treatment in exercise on relaxation therapy : n=12). The subjects in the exercise therapy group were given a particular intensity for each kp during 30min, bicycle ergometer which is using an LX PE training system before & after 4weeks of training. The exercise therapy that was used was Astrard load method which tested absolute exercise load of heart rate before & after four weeks, and resting heart rate was tested for exercise and relaxation therapy before, after four weeks, and at eight weeks. The results of each kp & absolute exercise load were calculated with the target rate formula(maximal heart rate-rest heart rate) x exercise intensity(%) rest heart rate so the subjects could continue 60-70% exercise intensity for exercise therapy over eight weeks. The relaxation therapy subjects were trained using a modified Jacobson's relaxation technique for eight weeks. The exercise and relaxation therapy were trained at the following intensity for eight weeks(3 times/week, 30 min/day) to see changes in catecholamine & heart rates. After eight weeks, statistical analysis of exercise & relaxation therapy were carried out Two-way ANOVA and multiple range test(SNK : Student Newman Keul) were used. The results are as follows : 1. The change of epinephrine & norepinephrine in the exercise therapy, relaxation therapy, and control group was statistically significant at the .05 level after four weeks & eight weeks. Also, exercise therapy was statistically significant at .05 level over that of the control group after 4 weeks. 2. The change of heart rate in relaxation therapy was statistically significant at the .05 level, and was statistically significant at the .05 level over that of the exercise therapy and control group. In conclusion, it is obvious that exercise therapy and relaxation therapy should be one of the most effective stress treatment and desirable nursing interventions methods for job stress in people in white color jobs.
