Application of emotional freedom techniques in elderly patients with chronic pain in pension institutions

目的探讨情绪释放疗法在养老机构老年慢性疼痛患者中的应用效果,为养老机构开展老年人慢性疼痛管理提供依据。方法将84例老年慢性疼痛患者按所在养老机构的院区为单位分为观察组43例和对照组41例。两组均接受养老机构常规的护理干预,观察组在此基础上给予为期3个月的情绪释放疗法。干预前和干预后3个月对患者的疼痛程度、焦虑、抑郁水平进行评价。结果干预前两组患者的疼痛程度和焦虑、抑郁评分比较,差异无统计学意义(均P>0.05),干预后观察组疼痛程度及焦虑、抑郁得分低于对照组,两组比较,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.001)。结论情绪释放疗法可有效降低养老机构老年慢性疼痛患者的疼痛程度,改善患者的焦虑、抑郁状况。

Objective To explore the effect of emotional freedom techniques in elderly patients with chronic pain in pension institutions.Methods Eighty-four elderly patients with chronic pain were divided into observation group(n=43)and control group(n=41).Both groups received routine nursing intervention.On the basis,the observation group was given emotional freedom techniques for 3 months.The levels of pain,anxiety and depression were evaluated before and 3 months after intervention.Results There were no significant differences in the degree of pain and anxiety and depression scores between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After the intervention,the pain degree,anxiety and depression scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion Emotional freedom techniques can effectively reduce the pain degree and mitigate the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with chronic pain in pension institutions.
