“…The importance of not taking for granted that the patients wanted tactile massage was stressed. Axelsson & Maata () highlighted the necessity of being attentive and adjusting every massage session to each individual. In relation to being attentive and sensitive comes the question of when touch is appropriate.…”

“…() suggest that touch can demonstrate empathy in a way that words cannot and that the togetherness created in the massage session promotes feelings of security and reciprocal trust. Axelsson & Maata () found that adolescents with anorexia had less fear and distance in relation to their bodies and that tactile massage helped them to acknowledge their bodily limits.

Introduction There is limited research on tactile massage in child and adolescent psychiatry and no studies investigating experiences of providing tactile massage in child and adolescent psychiatry were found. Aim The aim was therefore to describe nurses' experiences of providing tactile massage as a nursing intervention in child and adolescent psychiatry. Method Ten nurses trained in tactile massage and employed at five different child and adolescent psychiatry clinics in Sweden participated in a qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim and analysed by qualitative content analysis. Results Three categories emerged from the analysis. 'Confirming body and mind', 'Building a trusting relationship' and 'Instructing next of kin in tactile massage'. Attentiveness to and respect for the integrity of the children and adolescents were essential for creating a trusting relationship with them. Tactile massage was found to trigger various physical and mental processes in the children and adolescents. The nurses reflected on the impact of tactile massage on their nursing and on themselves as a person, stating that it had led to the development of self-reflection and attentiveness. Implications for practice Tactile massage addresses the individual's emotional and physiological responses and could therefore bring holistic nursing to child and adolescent psychiatry. It might also enhance attentiveness and sensitivity on the part of child and adolescent psychiatry nurses when acknowledging the needs of children and adolescents in psychiatric care.

The present study was designed to elucidate relational and behavioural effects of soft skin massage in children with severe developmental disability as observed by those administering the massage. Sixteen children aged 7Á20 years with congenital brain injury or early acquired brain injury received soft skin massage during a 10-week period. After the intervention period structured interviews were conducted with the soft skin massage providers concerning how they experienced the outcomes of the intervention. The interviews were analysed with qualitative content analysis. Categories found in the interviews concerned closeness, social interaction, bodily responses, feelings and importance of preparation. Soft skin massage was found to contribute to more closeness and social interaction between children with severe developmental disabilities and their caregivers, as well as increased communication skills in the children. The children became more aware of their bodies and increased their bodily activities and a sense of well-being was created.

Summary Touch has been a part of the healing process in many civilisations and cultures throughout the centuries. Nurses frequently use touch to provide comfort and reach their patients. The aim of this study was to illuminate the meaning of receiving tactile touch when being cared for in an intensive care unit. Tactile touch is a complementary method including the use of effleurage, which means soft stroking movements along the body. The context used to illuminate the meaning of receiving tactile touch was two general intensive care units (ICUs). Six patients, who have been cared for in the two ICUs, participated in the study. A phenomenological-hermeneutical method based on the philosophy of Ricoeur and developed for nursing research by Lindseth and Norberg [Lindseth A, Norberg A. A phenomenological hermeneutical method for researching lived experience. Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 2004;18:145-53] was chosen for the analysis. Data consisted of narratives, which were analysed in three recurring phases: naïve understanding, structural analyses and comprehensive understanding. Two main themes were found: being connected to oneself and being unable to gain and maintain pleasure. The comprehensive understanding of receiving tactile touch during intensive care seems to be an expression of enjoying tactile touch and gaining hope for the future. This study reveals that it is possible to experience moments of pleasure in the midst of being a severely ill patient at an ICU and, through this experience also gain hope.
