Agitation in people with dementia is a growing concern as it causes distress for both patients and their nurses and may contribute to relational disorders. Previous studies involving patients with dementia living in long-term care facilities have reported decreased agitation following massage. The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of hand massage on agitation and biological markers of stress in patients with dementia hospitalized in an acute geriatric psychiatry service. In this randomized controlled trial we included 40 agitated patients with dementia with an intervention group and a control group. The study is designed to test the effect of seven hand massages over three continuous weeks on agitation and levels of salivary cortisol (sC) and alpha-amylase (sAA). Compared to the control group, the intervention group exhibited larger increases in sC and sAA at week 1 from before to after the massage, but larger decreases at week 2 and 3, with a significant group effect for sAA at week 2. Agitation scores were not significantly different between the groups but tended to decrease more in the intervention group than the control group. This study provides first encouraging results suggesting that hand massage might have beneficial effects on stress and agitation in hospitalized patients with dementia. It also highlights the challenges associated with conducting such studies with this complex patient population. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and the benefits of hand massage as part of routine care for patients with dementia.

在医院环境中,手部按摩对痴呆症患者压力和躁动的影响:一项初步研究。

痴呆症患者的躁动日益引起关注,因为它会给患者及其护士带来困扰,并可能导致关系障碍。先前对住在长期护理机构中的痴呆症患者的研究报告说,按摩后躁动会减少。这项初步研究的目的是调查手部按摩对急性老年精神病科住院的痴呆患者的躁动和应激生物学指标的影响。在这项随机对照试验中,我们将40名躁动性痴呆患者分为干预组和对照组。该研究旨在测试连续三个星期进行七次手部按摩对唾液皮质醇(sC)和α-淀粉酶(sAA)的搅动和水平的影响。与对照组相比 干预组从按摩前到按摩后第1周的sC和sAA升高较大,但在第2周和第3周的sC和sAA升高较大,第2周时sAA的治疗效果显着。干预组的下降趋势往往比对照组要大。这项研究提供了令人鼓舞的初步结果,表明手部按摩可能对住院的痴呆患者的压力和躁动产生有益作用。它还强调了与这种复杂的患者群体进行此类研究相关的挑战。需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现以及手部按摩作为痴呆患者常规护理的一部分的益处。但在第2周和第3周下降幅度更大,在第2周时对sAA具有显着的群体效应。各组之间的躁动评分没有显着差异,但干预组的下降幅度往往比对照组更大。这项研究提供了令人鼓舞的初步结果,表明手部按摩可能对住院的痴呆患者的压力和躁动产生有益作用。它还强调了与这种复杂的患者群体进行此类研究相关的挑战。需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现以及手部按摩作为痴呆患者常规护理的一部分的益处。但在第2周和第3周下降幅度更大,在第2周时对sAA具有显着的群体效应。各组之间的躁动评分没有显着差异,但干预组的下降幅度往往比对照组更大。这项研究提供了令人鼓舞的初步结果,表明手部按摩可能对住院的痴呆患者的压力和躁动产生有益作用。它还强调了与这种复杂的患者群体进行此类研究相关的挑战。需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现以及手部按摩作为痴呆患者常规护理的一部分的益处。各组之间的躁动评分无明显差异,但干预组的下降幅度往往比对照组大。这项研究提供了令人鼓舞的初步结果,表明手部按摩可能对住院的痴呆患者的压力和躁动产生有益作用。它还强调了与这种复杂的患者群体进行此类研究相关的挑战。需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现以及手部按摩作为痴呆患者常规护理的一部分的益处。各组之间的躁动评分无明显差异,但干预组的下降幅度往往比对照组大。这项研究提供了令人鼓舞的初步结果,表明手部按摩可能会对住院的痴呆患者的压力和躁动产生有益作用。它还强调了与这种复杂的患者群体进行此类研究相关的挑战。需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现以及手部按摩作为痴呆患者常规护理的一部分的益处。
