Title: The effects of comprehensive nursing interventions of therapeutic touch on stress response of patients with thyroid surgery in peri-operative period
Abstract: Objective:To explore the therapeutic touch consisting mainly of comprehensive nursing intervention on thyroid operation in peri-operative patients with stress reaction.Methods:72 patients undergoing thyroid operation were randomly divided into intervention group and control group,36 cases in each group.The routine preoperative nursing mode was given to the control group,but effective nursing interventions and therapeutic touch were given to the intervention group on the basis of the control group.To observe and test systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP) and heart rate(HR) before operation,anesthesia,skin incision,separation,postoperative 2 h and 6 h.The VAS pain score of patients should be determined within 2 h and 6 h after operation.The cases experiencing slight discomfort,mild pain,obvious pain but can tolerate and obvious pain but can not bear were recorded.Results: The DBP,SBP and HR of the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P0.05) during skin incision and separation.The VAS score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P0.05) after operation.The cases of obvious pain but can not bear in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of control group(P0.05).Conclusions: The therapeutic touch and mental nursing intervention can obviously alleviate the pain of patients with thyroid during operative and postoperative period,effectively maintain the stability of hemodynamics during operation and alleviate the stress of operation.
