Abstract
Post-surgical pain is the pain that follows a surgical procedure. It is a natural response to the “trauma” of surgery. Every patient experiences pain differently, which is why it is essential for pain management .Anxiety is a psychological issue where a patient’s fear of surgery is so significant that they can begin to have physical symptoms such as a racing heart, nausea, and chest pain. ❖ Foot massage is one of the non-pharmacological methods of reducing pain and anxiety. It is a non-invasive procedure, works via the nervous system, where pressure is applied to the reflex regions in the feet with the fingers by pertissage, friction and kneading which sends to the peripheral nervous system and then the central nervous system where the brain can process the information. It relieves various symptoms in a wide range of patient care setting. ❖ A study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of foot massage on pain and anxiety among clients undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery at Vijaya Heart Foundation, Vadapalani, Chennai during 2011-2012. The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of foot massage on pain and anxiety. ❖ The study was conducted by adopting a Quasi experimental pre test and post test research design. Sixty clients undergone CABG were selected for experimental and control group. The data was collected from post CABG clients who fulfilled inclusive criteria. Numerical pain rating scale and modified trait anxiety scale was used to assess the pain and anxiety level. Ethical aspects were considered throughout the study. The conceptual framework adopted for this study was modified Roy adaptation model. ❖ Analysis revealed that, by comparing the level of pain was a decrease in mean value from 7.30 to 1.30 and decrease in standard deviation from 1.24 to 0.47 respectively the “t” value 27.982*** was found to be highly significant at p<0.001. In control group, Mean value from 7.90 to 7.93 and the standard deviation from 0.96 to 0.0.94 respectively the “t” value -0.328 was found to be not significant at p=0.745. ❖ The comparison of level of anxiety was a decrease in mean value from 26.67 to 11.23 and decrease in standard deviation from 4.22 to 2.61 respectively the “t” value 33.523*** was found to be highly significant at p<0.001. In control group, Mean value from 27.50 to 27.57 and the standard deviation from 4.60 to 4.55 respectively the “t” value -0.421 was found to be not significant at p=0.677. ❖ Administration of foot massage among clients undergone CABG enhances the reduction of pain and anxiety. Therefore foot massage can be used as safe and effective tool, which helps in reducing the level of pain and anxiety.
