“…It has been demonstrated in various studies that relaxation techniques, such as the progressive muscular relaxation of Jacobson, the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction techniques, and the relaxation techniques described by Benson, reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and improve quality of life in both patients and health care workers (Zinn, 1990;Botha et al, 2015;Carver and O'Malley, 2015;Greenlee et al, 2017;Tsitsi et al, 2017;Harorani et al, 2019;Ibrahim et al, 2019).…”

ObjectiveA rapid review was conducted to identify the most effective stress reduction techniques for health care providers dealing with patients infected with severe coronavirus (SARS, MERS, and COVID-19).MethodsPubMed, PsychInfo, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Searches were restricted by date (2000 until present). All empirical quantitative and qualitative studies in which relaxation techniques of various types implemented on health care providers caring for patients during severe coronavirus pandemics and articles that consider the implementation of mental health care services considered to be pertinent, such as commentaries, were included.ResultsFourteen studies met the selection criteria, most of which were recommendations. Only one study described a digital intervention, and user satisfaction was measured. In the recommendations, both organizational and individual self-care interventions were suggested.ConclusionsFurther research is necessary to establish tailor-made effective stress reduction interventions for this population, during these challenging and particular times.

“…PMR has an excellent position within the medical community. Has proven highly effective at relieving symptoms that arise from several conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, nausea, and high blood pressure (Charalambous et al, 2016; Harorani et al, 2020; Kwekkeboom et al, 2008; Merakou et al, 2019). Evidence has also been found for the efficacy of PMR in patients with PD (Brandt, 1984; Hernandez-Reif et al, 2002; Shumaker, 1980).…”

Objective: This study examines the effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on levodopa (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and determines whether the incidence of dyskinesias could be reduced by PMR. Method: A quasiexperimental study, with a control group (CG), was designed to compare compliance pre-post training. Patients (N = 20) with mild to moderate PD, over 45 years old, who were being treated with the drug L-DOPA and had dyskinesias. The experimental group (EG) (n = 10) received PMR training for 60 min each time, two times a week and lasted for 5 weeks. The CG (n = 10) received no intervention. The main outcome measures were Parkinson Disease Dyskinesia Scale (PDYS-26), Brief Symptom Check List (LSB-50), Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) VI, and occurrences of dyskinesias. Results: PMR resulted in a reduction in clinician rated of dyskinesia severity. To explore the effect of PMR on PDYS-26, we use ANOVA to analyze the factors and interaction effects. After 5-week follow-up, statistically significant differences were found in the EG (pre-post test) (F = 20.364; p < .000; η 2 = .53). Significant differences were also found between EG and CG (posttest) (F = 16.674; p = .001, η 2 = .47; confidence interval for EG was −55.6 to −17.3, and for CG −.8 to 5.1). Conclusions: The outcomes support the hypothesis that patients with PD benefit from PMR added to their standard medication. PMR could improve dyskinesias and with it, the ability to speak, move, walk, and perform ADL. Public Significance StatementL-DOPA therapy used in the treatment of PD is associated with the onset of dyskinesia and behavioral addictions. Dyskinesias affect people's ability to perform ADL (preparing meals, housekeeping, climbing stairs, and shopping), and PMR is an effective practice for LID of benefit to patients with PD.
