“…Data processing proves that affirmation-tapping reduces the patient's pain perception after a cesarean. Clinical trial studies conducted in hospitals prove that affirmation-tapping as a complementary approach has been able to reduce patient pain in accordance with integrative treatment recommendations for the treatment of postoperative pain patients (19). Research related to affirmation-tapping also helps reduce the pain of dysmenorrhoea in adolescents (20) .…”

Introduction: Affirmation, by praying and positive evaluation accompanied by acupoint stimulation, has been shown to reduce pain in postoperative patients. In other studies, affirmations can reduce chronic pain due to the down-regulation performance of Glutamate receptors. Acupuncture can reduce pain complaints by modulating Glutamate at the spinal level. So it is suspected that affirmation-tapping can reduce postsurgical pain due to modulation of Glutamate; however clinical studies have not been conducted. The aim is to compare the pain perception of postoperative patients given affirmation-tapping therapy with other treatment patients as complementary nursing interventions. This is to see if the modulation of the performance of serum Glutamate levels is different from other treatments. Methods: We used a randomized post-test control group design that was performed parallel in post-cesarean patients. A sample of 40 patients was divided into four groups (10 in affirmations, 10 in tapping, 10 in affirmation-tapping and 10 in controls). They were obtained through simple random sampling. The instruments included affirmation-tapping guides, Elisa kits and McGill Melzack Pain's short questionnaire form (MPQ-sf). The independent variable was the affirmation-tapping intervention and the dependent variable was the perception of pain and Glutamate serum level. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression. Results: The average of Glutamate levels in the Affirmation-tapping treatment group was lower (0. 034±0. 004) pg/mL and significantly different (Sig=0.00) from other groups (0. 056±0. 011) pg/mL. Conclusion: Affirmation-tapping as a complementary nursing intervention decreases pain perception and Glutamate serum levels in patients post-cesarean section that supports conventional treatment. Affirmation-tapping is recommended as an intervention to overcome pain perception in postoperative nursing patients who support conventional treatment.

“…The clinical trial studies conducted in the hospital prove that affirmative-tapping as a complementary approach has been able to reduce the pain of traumatized patients. The most complementary approach was to utilize integrative medicine for the postoperative care of patients (Moon, Shin, Shin, Kwon, & Lee, 2017). Research on affirmative-tapping approaches has also helped to reduce dysmenorrhoea pain in adolescents (Lenni Sastra, Jasmarizal, 2016).…”

Introduction: Affirmation - tapping interventions have been shown to reduce pain complaints in post-operative patients completing conventional treatment. This is thought to be due to serotonin performance but clinical studies have not been conducted. The aim was to compare the mean perception of the pain reported by post-operative patients given affirmation- tapping treatment with another treatment as a complementary nursing intervention. This was to see if the performance of the serotonin serum level is different from in other treatments.Methods: We used a randomized post-test only control group design carried out in parallel in post-caesarean section patients. The sample totaled 40 patients divided into four groups (10 in affirmation, 10 in tapping, 10 in affirmation-tapping and 10 in the control). They were obtained through simple random sampling. The instruments included affirmation-tapping guidelines, Elisa kits and the McGill - Melzack Pain Questionnaire short-form (MPQsf). The independent variable was the intervention of affirmation-tapping and the dependent variables were pain perception and serotonin level. The data was analyzed using simple linear regression.Results: The average variant of the serotonin levels in the affirmation-tapping treatment group was higher and thus differed significantly from the other groups.Conclusion: Affirmation-tapping as a complementary nursing intervention can increase the serotonin serum levels of the post-caesarean section patients by complementing conventional treatments. Participant pain complaints were lowest in the affirmation-tapping group with the highest serotonin levels present and these were significantly different to the other groups. Affirmation – tapping was recommended as a complementary intervention in nursing post-operative patients that complements conventional treatment.

“…As a result, approaches to care are becoming increasingly person-centered and holistic in nature [ 1 ]. The concept of integrative medicine has emerged as a collaborative approach to healthcare that brings together conventional Western medicine and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in a coordinated way [ 2 , 3 ].

Background. The current study was performed to develop a consensus-based core inventory of key performance indicators (KPIs) to be used in capturing the impact of pharmaceutical care in healthcare facilities that employ integrative medicine paradigm in Palestine. Methods. A panel of healthcare professionals and risk/quality assurance managers was composed employing a judgmental sampling technique. The study tool was a questionnaire. Views and opinions of the panelists on the roles of pharmacists in caring for patients admitted to or visiting healthcare facilities that employ integrative medicine were collected using 11 statements. An initial inventory of activities and services that potentially can be used as KPIs was compiled from the literature and interviews with key contact experts in the domain. Three iterative Delphi rounds were conducted among the panelists (n = 50) to achieve formal consensus on the KPIs that should be used. The consensus-based KPIs were ordered by the scores of the panelists. Results. A total of 8 consensus-based KPIs were developed. The KPIs related to the number of problems related to medications and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that were resolved by pharmacists and CAM practitioners (p < 0.0001), number of patients for whom reconciliations were documented (p < 0.0001), number of patients receiving direct, comprehensive, and/or collaborative care (p < 0.0001), and number of patients for whom pharmacists and CAM practitioners were involved in implementing a therapeutic plan (p < 0.05) were rated significantly higher than the KPI (#8) related to the participation in multi-healthcare provider discussions/deliberations. Conclusions. Consensus-based KPIs that can be used in capturing the impact of evidence-based CAM and pharmaceutical care of patients in healthcare facilities that employ integrative medicine paradigm were developed. Future studies are still needed to investigate if implementing these KPIs might promote evidence-based CAM and pharmaceutical care in healthcare facilities that employ the integrative medicine paradigm.
