SUMMARY Objectives:This study was conducted to analyze the effect of a hand massage on pain and depression, blood pressure, pulse and respiration number in older people living in a nursing home. Methods:The research was carried out using pre-post tests in a single-group quasi-experimental design and took place over the period from February to May 2013 in Istanbul. The study was conducted with 20 elderly individuals. The data for the study were collected with the "Questionnaire Form ", "McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire, " and the "Geriatric Depression Scale. " The hand massages were administered by the researchers according to the Kolcaba Hand Massage Protocol; the massage was given three days a week during six weeks, a total of 18 sessions, in the individual's room. The Wilcoxon and Friedman Tests were used in the evaluation. Results:The age of the elderly individuals in the study was 79.00±6.24 years. After the 18 sessions of hand massaging in the study, pain levels of the subjects (p<0.001) and their depression scores (p<0.01) displayed a significant decrease. In systolic blood pressure taken before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after, the massage exhibited a significant decrease after the first, third and sixth weeks in all of the readings (p<0.001). Diastolic blood pressure values, pulse and respiration rates taken before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after, the massage exhibited significant decreases after the third and sixth weeks (p<0.001). Conclusion:It was concluded that hand massage is effective in reducing pain and depression scores in the elderly.

“…Being given a massage by a known person creates a feeling of "being cared for" and "existential well-being" [36]. A hand massage as a "comforting, caring intervention" can "enhance satisfaction with care" [37]. Massage can also be seen as a way of communicating, as it enables mutual interpretation [38].…”

The use of tactile senses in mediated communication has generated considerable research interest in past decades. Since massage is a common practice in Asian cultures, we propose to introduce massage-based interactions in mediated communication between people in a close relationship. We designed a device for distant interactive massage to be used during online conversation and we assessed its effect on interpersonal connection with eight pairs of Chinese participants in romantic relationships. All pairs were asked to engage in a conversation, either through a video call or through a massage-assisted video call. The findings showed that the use of the massage device significantly increased the perceived emotional and physical connection between the users. The results also showed a significant increase in the engagement in the massage activity, e.g., total massage time and average force per finger, from positive conversation to negative conversation, demonstrating an evidence of the interplay between audio-visual and haptic communication. Post hoc interviews showed the potential of the massage device for long-distance communication in romantic relationships as well as in parents-children relationships.
