“…[ 22 ] To justify the results of the present study, it can be said that the FRM reduces anxiety, stress, and pain, and as a result, improves sleep quality. [ 23 24 ] FRM probably increases the secretion of endorphins, which are endogenous opioids like morphine known as a natural relaxation that makes the person sleep faster and more efficiently. [ 25 ] There is a relationship between sleep latency and daily stress.…”

Background: Cardiovascular diseases can affect sleep quality. The use of non-pharmacological methods to improve the sleep quality of heart failure patients is essential. Therefore, this study compared the effects of the Benson relaxation technique and foot reflexology massage on sleep quality of those patients. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 93 patients with systolic heart failure referred to Javad Al-Aeme heart clinic in Torbat Heydarieh were selected with purposive sampling method and divided into the foot reflexology massage, Benson relaxation technique, and control groups using the balanced blocking randomization method. The Benson relaxation technique and the foot reflexology massage were performed for 20 and 30 minutes three days per week for four weeks, respectively. The control group only received routine care. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index and then compared among the groups before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc tests, paired t test, and Chi-square at the significant level of p < 0.05. Results: After interventions, the mean (SD) quality of sleep significantly increased in both intervention groups (Reflexology: pre-intervention 10.80 (3.40), post-intervention 6.60 (3.10), Benson relaxation: pre-intervention 15.50 (2.40) post-intervention 12 (2.60), compared to the control group (pre-intervention 10.50 (1.90) post-intervention 9.40(1.70) ( p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two intervention groups ( p = 0.53). Conclusions: The interventions improved the quality of sleep in patients with systolic heart failure. Therefore, these methods can be used as a suitable complementary treatment to improve the quality of sleep by nurses and midwives.

“…[46][47][48][49] Con la teoría del control de la puerta se logra la reducción de dolor a través de la liberación de endorfinas, mientras tanto, la teoría del control de puerta o de la puerta del dolor, asevera que la reflexología estimula fibras nerviosas grandes, que bloquean la transmisión de los impulsos de dolor que viajan por fibras nerviosas pequeñas, de esta manera, interrumpen la llegada de dichas señales al cerebro, es decir, se realiza un bloqueo de estímulos mediante el tacto. [50][51][52] Otra limitante que comparten 3 estudios incluidos en esta revisión, es sin duda el nulo seguimiento realizado, mientras que la periodicidad debe ser también objeto de análisis, pues, como lo señala Saz et al, la recomendación es que se lleven a cabo dos sesiones a la semana, en dos estudios, aquí valorados, se ejecutó la intervención a diario, el hecho de realizar reflexología podal como intervención diaria puede generar una mayor repercusión en la práctica clínica general y no solo en el área de oncología y, por ende, sería de suma importancia realizar más estudios en donde se valoren los impactos de esta técnica aplicada como parte del arsenal de cuidados diarios, por último cabe mencionar que los próximos ensayos deben valorar que quien realice la terapia de reflexología podal. 36,38,39,53 Investigación e Innovación, Núm.…”

Objetivo: Determinar si la reflexología podal es eficaz como intervención de enfermería para tratar el dolor oncológico. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática, bajo lineamientos PRISMA, que incluye ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados; la búsqueda fue realizada en Scopus, ScienceDirect y Cochrane, se usó el algoritmo de búsqueda: (((foot reflexology) OR (foot massage)) AND (pain)) AND (cancer), obteniendo 163 estudios. Resultados: 5 estudios califican bajo criterios, el número de sesiones osciló entre 5 a 16, mientras que la duración de cada sesión entre 20-60 minutos, el número de participantes entre 40-80. Se encontró disminución de la intensidad de dolor estadísticamente significativa en comparación con los diversos grupos controles, en todos los estudios. Conclusión: Aunque se notifican resultados positivos, se necesita evidencia de mayor peso que ratifique a la reflexología como una técnica eficaz para reducir el dolor.

“…Based on preliminary studies conducted at the Kassi-Kassi Health Center and Jongaya Health Center, the results of interviews with midwives found that midwives had never applied endorphins massage to help postpartum mothers in the breastfeeding process at the Puskesmas. Based on the results of the needs analysis conducted by researchers, it was found that an edutaiment media was needed that could support midwives to be able to learn and understand deeply about endorphin massage (Kapıkıran & Özkan, 2021;McCullough et al, 2018).…”

This study aims to determine the feasibility of the Endorphin Massage module as a learning medium. The method used in this study is Research and Development (RnD) by adopting the development steps of the Borg and Gall models. This research was carried out at the Jongaya Health Center, Kassi-Kassi Health Center, and Minasa Upa Health Center in November August 2022. Sampling was carried out using the Purposive Sampling Technique, which was 40 samples, validation test results from media experts averaged 90.9% and validation results from material experts averaged 92.7% which showed that the Endorphin Massage module is very feasible to use without revision. The results of user validation (Midwives) in small groups of 10 Midwives with an average eligibility score of 89.5% and the results of large-scale user validation in 30 Midwives with an average eligibility score of 93.4% of the data showed that the Endorphin Massage module was very feasible to use. The Endorphin Massage module is suitable for use as a learning medium in an effort to increase breast milk expenditure in Postpartum mothers.
