“…Of the four quasi‐experimental studies, two studies (Hayes and Cox, ; Alves da Silva et al, ) did not have a control group and used a repeated‐measures design. In two studies, a double‐blinded (Hatefi et al, ) or a triple‐blinded design (Vahedian‐Azimi et al, ) was used, whereas no blinding was used by Lindgren et al .…”

“…(). In three studies, either staff or outcome assessors were blinded or unaware of the interventions provided (Stevensen, ; Dunn et al, ; Richards, 1998); one study described that patients were blinded to group allocation without providing further information (Boitor et al, ); and in five studies, authors did not adequately report blinding (Hayes and Cox, ; Asadizaker et al, ; Shinde and Anjum, ; Alves da Silva et al, ; Taheri et al, ) (Table ).…”

“…The most common statistically significant effects were improvements in VS (including SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, RR). These occurred immediately and at 30 min (Alves da Silva et al, ; LoE: II), 1, 2 and 3 h (Vahedian‐Azimi et al, ; Hatefi et al, ; LoE: I) post‐intervention. Some results suggest that the effects on VS were seen after the second session of massage only (Boitor et al, ), which may imply that VS may improve as participants become familiar with the intervention.…”

“…In two RCTs (Stevensen, ; Lindgren et al, ), significant differences between the experimental and control groups were reported after the intervention (LoE: I) despite no evidence of adjustment for baseline scores. The remaining two studies, a quasi‐experimental study (Alves da Silva et al, ; LoE: II) and an RCT (Dunn et al, ; LoE: I), show improvements in anxiety levels post‐intervention but with limitations in reporting (Dunn et al, ).…”

Background: The critical care experience is particularly stressful for patients, which can result in a number of physiological and psychological consequences, including haemodynamic instability, increased pain, agitation and delirium, leading to prolonged mechanical ventilation, length of stay and subsequent complications. Massage therapy encompasses different techniques to promote relaxation and to counter stress, therefore potentially affecting several patients' outcomes. Aims: To systematically review evidence on the effects of massage on outcomes of adult critically ill patients. The outcome measures included pain, vital signs (VS), haemodynamic measurements, level of consciousness, sleep quality, muscle tension, anxiety, feelings of calm and relaxation, coping, arterial blood gases and serum biomarkers. Method: This was a systematic review based on focused literature searches (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, EMBASE-Ovid databases, Google Scholar). The Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Eligibility criteria included published experimental and quasi-experimental studies reporting on the physiological and psychological outcomes of critically ill patients. Results: Based on the selection criteria, 12 studies were included in the review. The main findings are as follows: 8 of 12 studies used randomized control designs with high internal validity, and there was a high level of evidence of favourable effects with respect to improvements in VS and a reduction in pain and anxiety. Outcomes that need to be more rigorously pursued include quality of sleep, analgesic and sedative dosages and level of consciousness. Conclusion: The results suggest that massage interventions can have positive effects on critically ill patients' outcomes. However, there are several gaps in the literature, along with methodological limitations, that require further consideration in critical care settings. Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this systematic review can inform implementation of massage interventions in critical care, which can be challenging as a result of several barriers.

Background: Anxiety in patients admitted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is common and usually moderate or severe. Anxiety affects endocrine and physiological responses. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of aromatherapy by rose essence on anxiety and physiological indices of conscious patients admitted at ICU. Methods: In this clinical trial, 60 conscious patients admitted at ICU wards in Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital of Rafsanjan were selected and randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control. In the intervention group, three drops of 10% rose essence were poured on the gauze and placed 20 cm from the patients’ nose on their shirt, and the patients inhaled it for 20 minutes three times a day. In the control group, three drops of distilled water were used likewise. Data collection tools included Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.18. Results: According to the results, in the intervention group, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly increased (paired t-test, P < 0.05) in the second time after the intervention and significantly decreased (paired t-test, P < 0.05) in the third time. The mean oxygen saturation of arterial blood also significantly increased in the second time in this group after the intervention (paired t-test, P = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in anxiety score before and after the intervention in each group. Conclusions: Although aromatherapy using rose essence was statistically significant on some of the physiological indices of conscious patients in ICU, these differences were not clinically significant.
