UNASSIGNED: This research utilized a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design involving 102 leukemia patients admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia. Participants were randomly allocated to 3 groups: acupressure (n = 34), reflexology (n = 34), or control (n = 34). Prior to the intervention, patients completed a demographic survey and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for baseline assessments. Acupressure involved stimulation of the SP6 point twice daily for 10 minutes over 4 weeks, while reflexology entailed daily 10-minute sessions with sweet almond oil on the soles for the same duration. The control group received standard care without additional interventions. Following the 4-week intervention period, post-intervention evaluations were conducted using identical measurement tools.
UNASSIGNED: The findings underscored the efficacy of both acupressure and foot reflexology in significantly improving sleep quality within the intervention groups (P < .001). Initially, there were no notable differences in sleep quality among the 3 groups (P > .05). Subsequently, pairwise comparisons adjusted with Bonferroni corrections revealed significant disparities in sleep quality between the acupressure and reflexology groups compared to the control group (P < .001). However, post-intervention analysis indicated no statistically significant variance in enhancing sleep quality between the acupressure and foot reflexology groups (P < .05).
UNASSIGNED: This study demonstrates that acupressure and foot reflexology interventions can enhance sleep quality in individuals with leukemia. These findings support the effectiveness of these complementary modalities, offering targeted relief and relaxation. While these non-invasive therapies show promise in improving well-being, further research is needed to confirm and expand upon these results due to study limitations.
■这项研究采用了一项随机对照试验,采用了前测-后测设计,涉及Urmia伊玛目霍梅尼医院收治的102名白血病患者。参与者被随机分为3组:穴位按压(n=34),反射疗法(n=34),或对照(n=34)。在干预之前,患者完成了人口统计学调查和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)的基线评估.穴位按压涉及在4周内每天两次刺激SP6点10分钟,而反射疗法需要每天10分钟的疗程,在相同的持续时间内将甜杏仁油放在鞋底上。对照组接受标准护理,无额外干预。在为期4周的干预期之后,使用相同的测量工具进行干预后评估.
■这些发现强调了穴位按摩和足部反射疗法在显著改善干预组睡眠质量方面的功效(P<.001)。最初,3组睡眠质量差异无统计学意义(P>.05)。随后,使用Bonferroni校正校正的成对比较显示,与对照组相比,穴位按摩组和反射疗法组之间的睡眠质量存在显着差异(P<.001)。然而,干预后分析表明,穴位按摩组和足底反射组在提高睡眠质量方面无统计学差异(P<0.05)。
■这项研究表明,穴位按摩和足部反射疗法干预可以提高白血病患者的睡眠质量。这些发现支持这些互补模式的有效性,提供有针对性的救济和放松。虽然这些非侵入性疗法在改善幸福感方面显示出希望,由于研究的局限性,需要进一步的研究来确认和扩展这些结果.
