About this study

Effect of non-pharmacological anti-anxiety exercises on Perceived Stress and cortisol level before elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

Read the detailed description

patients will be selected from national heart institute their age from 30 -50 years old. Patients will be assigned randomly into 4 groups 15 in each group, reflexology group, deep breathing group, combined group (reflexology and deep breathing) and control group. Before procedure two tools will used to collect data (demographic characteristics format the beginning once and Distress Thermometer scale before and 30 minutes after application in all groups ) in addition blood samples (5 mL) will take from all the patients on an empty stomach between 08:30 and 10:00 in the morning and 30 minutes after the application to determine the cortisol level in all groups

Being tested
reflexology, breathing exercise, standard care

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • reflexologyOther

    Reflex therapy was done for each patient for 30 minutes, first for the right foot and then for the left foot (15 minutes each) and breathing exercises in 3 stages

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cortisol Levels

    2 tubes of blood samples (5 mL) will take from the patients in all groups on an empty stomach between 08:30 and 10:00 in the morning and 30 minutes after the application to determine the cortisol level

    Measured: At subject enrollment "single session"

  2. Distress Thermometer

    It is a visual analog scale consisting of only 1 question that patients can apply on their own. On the scale, there is a thermometer with numbers from 0 to 10. A score of 0 indicates that the individual has no distress, and a score of 10 indicates distress at the highest limit.

    Measured: At subject enrollment "single session"
