Anxiety Clinical Trial
Official title:
Measuring the Effect of Chair Massage on Stress Related Symptoms for Nurses: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and effect of chair massage provided during working hours for nurses in an inpatient psychiatric and an outpatient pain rehabilitation unit and on the nurses stress related symptoms.
Nursing staff working in a hospital in-patient psychiatric unit and out-patient pain
rehabilitation/ fibromyalgia units each have varying causes of stress as both are intensely
demanding environments. The physical and psychosocial demands of these stress-loaded work
environments place a significant amount of strain on the physiological well-being of the
employee.
Nurses in these settings are considered healthy employees and able to participate in the
workforce, although symptoms such as headaches, shoulder tension, insomnia, fatigue, and
muscle and joint pain are often a part of their work day. As these stress related symptoms
become more chronic, they lead to days missed and become pre-cursors to physiological
illnesses so warrant further search for prevention tactics.
Massage therapy has been noted to decrease levels of anxiety and fatigue which is essential
to maintaining employee's efficient care in a dynamic environment. This study will provide
massage in the workplace utilizing chair massage as it is easy to set up, does not need a
great deal of space, and can be provided in semi-private areas, as the participant remains
clothed. A 2006 report on a small study indicated chair massage can be effective in reducing
stress perception in nurses within a hospital setting, at least in the short-term. Another
study reported some short-term positive effects on stress related symptoms; and came to the
conclusion that further studies are indicated to examine the efficacy of workplace-based
massage therapy programs.
