This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the effects of massage therapy on pain and anxiety intensity in patients with burns. A comprehensive, systematic search was conducted in various international electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as 'Massage therapy', 'Musculoskeletal manipulations', 'Acute pains', 'Burning pain', and 'Burn' from the earliest to October 17, 2022. Cochran's tool is used to check the risk of bias for randomised clinical trial (RCT) articles. The methodological index for non-randomised studies was used to assess the risk of bias in quasiexperimental studies. STATA version 14 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. A 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to determine statistical significance. Heterogeneity was investigated with I 2 . A P-value less than .1 was considered statistically significant for publication bias value. A total of 733 patients with burns were included in seven studies. Five studies had an

“…At the same time, it is necessary to understand what kind of psychological support the patient needs. In addition, it is necessary to choose opportunities to communicate with patients to understand whether the patient needs care from family members or work units, whether there are people and things that the patient is concerned about, so as to minimize the patient's worries during the treatment and recuperation period [19].…”

Patients with thyroid disease must take long-term antithyroid drugs and go to the outpatient clinic for regular check-ups. This requires patients to have good compliance behaviors in order to better control their thyroid hormone levels. In order to improve patients’ compliance behavior and seek effective family care interventions, this paper combines family care methods to evaluate the nursing effect of thyroid disease and combines investigation and analysis and experimental methods to verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper. In addition, this paper compares family nursing methods with conventional methods under the guidance of family philosophy and objectively analyzes and evaluates the application value of accelerated rehabilitation surgery concepts and methods in thyroid surgery. Finally, this paper sets up a control group and a test group to carry out the nursing effect of home nursing in thyroid diseases. Through comparative experiments, it can be seen that the nursing intervention for thyroid diseases based on home nursing in this paper has a good nursing effect.

Then, all full-text articles were evaluated for eligibility, and 21 records were excluded for reasons such as they were not randomized [ 20 – 30 ], did not include relevant outcomes [ 31 – 33 ], included foot reflexology as a part of a multimodal intervention [ 34 – 38 ], lacked adequate control group [ 39 ], has yet to be officially published [ 40 ]. Finally, 26 remaining articles with 2,366 participants were investigated by qualitative analyses.…”

Objectives. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression to determine the current best available evidence of the efficacy and safety of foot reflexology for adult depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Methods. Electronic databases (PubMed, ClinicalKey, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library) were searched till August, 10, 2020, and the validity of the eligible studies was critically appraised. Randomized controlled trials comparing foot reflexology groups with control groups for adult depression, anxiety, and sleep quality were included. Twenty-six eligible studies were included to assess the effect of foot reflexology intervention on the reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving quality of sleep, respectively, as the primary outcome. Results. Twenty-six randomized controlled trials involving 2,366 participants met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analyses showed that foot reflexology intervention significantly improved adult depression (Hedges’ g = −0.921; 95% CI: −1.246 to −0.595; P < 0.001), anxiety (Hedges’ g = −1.237; 95% CI −1.682 to −0.791; P < 0.001), and sleep quality (Hedges’ g = −1.665; 95% CI −2.361 to −0.970; P < 0.001). Metaregression reveals that an increase in total foot reflexology time (P = 0.002) and duration (P = 0.01) can significantly improve sleep quality. Conclusions. Foot reflexology may provide additional nonpharmacotherapy intervention for adults suffering from depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbance. However, high quality and rigorous design RCTs in specific population, along with an increase in participants, and a long-term follow-up are recommended in the future.
