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.

“…Whilst studies also reported the results to the previous evidence, and provided results and reporting of findings to permit the generalisability of these to the general population in seven papers (Table 3). Only three studies provided sufficient follow-up periods to answer their research questions [31,32,40] and only five studies reported sufficient follow-up of their cohorts to account for attrition [29,31,32,40,42].…”

“…The type of care home was described in 14 studies. This was categorised as residential home in one study [21] and as a nursing home in 13 [1,10,22,25,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. No studies itemised the reasons for admission to the care home.…”

“…The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in care homes was estimated as 30.2% (95% CI: 29.9% to 30.5%; n=105,463) from 20 studies [1,10,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]30,32,34,35,[37][38][39][40][41][42]. No studies were identified assessing the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in care home residents.…”

Purpose: To systematically review the literature describing the prevalence, impact and current management of musculoskeletal pain in older people living in care homes. All studies assessing the prevalence, impact and management of musculoskeletal disorders in older people living in care homes was included. Literature was appraised using the CASP cohort and qualitative critical appraisal tools. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical approaches, meta-analysis and meta-ethnography techniques. Materials andPrinciple Results: Twenty-four papers reporting the results of 263,775 care home residents in 12 countries were identified. The evidence-base was moderate in quality. Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain for people in care homes was 30.2% (95% confidence intervals: 29.9% to 30.5%; n=105,463). Care home residents reported that musculoskeletal pain had a significant impact on their perceived independence and overall ability to participate in everyday activities of daily living. Three papers which presented data on interventions demonstrated that whilst multi-component assessment and management packages did not significantly change clinical outcomes, these empowered care home staff to feel more confident in managing these patients.Major Conclusions: Musculoskeletal pain is a common problem in care homes worldwide and residents report significant impact on their lives. However there is uncertainty regarding how to assess and manage such pain.
