“…Moreover, it is an easily organized technique and is not associated with adverse side effects. In guided imagery, the imagination is harnessed to help overcome physical symptoms and reduce psychological symptoms [21,22]. The mechanism of action may be related to the power of guided imagery to send messages and data to the central nervous system and thus affect the body's physiological processes.…”

Background and purpose: Patients on hemodialysis experience anxiety and depression. This study aimed to investigate the effect of guided imagery on anxiety, depression, and vital signs in patients on hemodialysis. Materials and methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 80 patients undergoing hemodialysis. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: a guided intervention group and a control group. The anxiety and depression were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: After the intervention, the level of anxiety and depression were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group (p=0.030, p=0.001), respectively. A statistically significant reduction in the respiratory rate and heart rate was reported in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nurses are suggested to use guided imagery along with other interventions for the management of anxiety and depression. It is believed that it can alleviate adverse psychological responses among patients on hemodialysis.

“…Earlier studies reported beneficial effects of non-pharmacological interventions to reduce periprocedural anxiety. In three small randomised controlled trials, beneficial effects were seen on periprocedural self-reported anxiety in patients who received massage and/or guided imagery prior to the procedure 29–31. Similarly, a compilation of relaxing music during CAG or PCI provided by an audio-pillow was associated with lower anxiety levels in the time period around the procedure 32.…”

AimsIn this study, we examined the effects of the routinely administration of benzodiazepines on reducing periprocedural anxiety versus no premedication.MethodsIn this open label study, we enrolled 1683 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiograms (CAG) or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Randomisation was simulated by systematically allocating patients in monthly rotational periods to lorazepam 1 mg/sl, oxazepam 10 mg/po, diazepam 5 mg/po, midazolam 7.5 mg/po or no premedication. Anxiety was measured at four different time points using the one-item Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS score) ranging from 0 to 10. The primary outcome was the difference in anxiety reduction (ΔVAS, preprocedure to postprocedure), between the different premedication strategies versus no premedication.ResultsAnxiety reduction was larger in patients premedicated with lorazepam (ΔVAS=−2.0, SE=1.6, P=0.007) or diazepam (ΔVAS=−2.0, SE=1.5, p=0.003) compared with patients without any premedication (ΔVAS=−1.4, SE=1.2). The use of midazolam or oxazepam did not lead to a significant reduction in anxiety compared with patients who did not receive premedication. Additionally, a high number of patients treated with midazolam (N=39, 19.8%) developed side effects.ConclusionsIn this study, the use of lorazepam or diazepam was associated with a significant, but modest anxiety reduction in patients undergoing CAG or PCI. This study does not support the standard use of oxazepam or midazolam as premedication to reduce anxiety.

“…This technique has been used for centuries to alleviate pain and promote relaxation. These IM interventions, among others, have demonstrated clinical beneficial effects on pain, [10][11][12] anxiety, [13][14][15] and insomnia. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The aim of this study was to evaluate whether clinical massage or guided imagery could improve pain, anxiety, and sleep in patients admitted to the PCU.…”

BACKGROUND Patients in the progressive care unit typically experience high levels of pain and anxiety and exhibit difficulty sleeping. OBJECTIVE To determine whether either clinical massage or guided imagery could reduce pain and anxiety and improve sleep. METHODS This study included 288 inpatients on 2 floors of a progressive care unit. On 1 floor, each patient was offered daily a 15-minute complimentary clinical massage, whereas the patients on the other floor were provided access to a 30-minute guided-imagery recording. Patients were asked to rate their pain and anxiety levels immediately before and after the massage intervention or were asked whether the guided-imagery intervention was helpful for pain, anxiety, or insomnia. RESULTS The massage intervention showed an immediate and significant reduction in self-reported pain and anxiety (P < .001); likewise, a significant number of patients self-reported that guided imagery helped alleviate pain, anxiety, and insomnia (P < .001). CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that clinical massage and guided imagery can benefit patients in the progressive care unit.
