Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Area of Science:

  • Holistic nursing
  • Complementary and alternative medicine

Background:

  • Holistic nursing practice emphasizes comprehensive healthcare solutions.
  • Nurses experience significant mid-shift stress, impacting well-being and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively and qualitatively assess the impact of Healing Touch (HT) on nurses' stress perception.
  • To compare the effectiveness of HT versus deep breathing exercises (DBE) in reducing mid-shift stress.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 128 registered nurses (RNs) utilized a quantitative and qualitative approach.
  • Participants were assigned to either the Healing Touch group or the deep breathing group.
  • Vital signs and Visual Analog Scale for Stress (VASS) scores were measured pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Statistical analysis (Repeated Measures MANOVA) showed significant reductions in stress favoring the Healing Touch group.
  • Significant decreases were observed in Heart Rate (p=.000), Respiratory Rate (p=.019), and VASS scores (p=.005) from pre- to post-intervention for HT.
  • Further significant reductions in Respiratory Rate (p=.000) and VASS scores (p=.002) were noted from pre- to follow-up in the HT group.
  • Qualitative data indicated greater stress reduction with Healing Touch compared to deep breathing.

Conclusions:

  • Healing Touch is an effective intervention for reducing mid-shift stress in nurses.
  • The findings support the integration of Healing Touch into holistic nursing practices for improved nurse well-being.
  • Healing Touch offers a beneficial alternative to deep breathing for stress management among healthcare professionals.
