Dr. Laura Schwarz, AHN-BC, DNP, RN, CNE
Abstraction
Managing and treating acute illnesses frequently results in heightened stress for both hospitalized patients and the nurses who provide their care. This study investigates the efficacy of guided meditation, hand massage, and aromatherapy as stress-reduction techniques. To assess these therapies’ definitions, modes of action, practical application, and general efficacy, a critical assessment of the literature and an individual trial were undertaken. The people who gain the most from these therapies were also determined by the assessment.
The results of the literature and the author’s own assessment offer solid proof of the efficacy and applicability of various stress-reduction techniques. Both qualitative and quantitative research studies were used as proof. Beyond lowering stress, the therapies also showed additional advantages. Teaching nurses the techniques and efficacy of these complementary therapies and incorporating them into practice are among the recommendations for nursing practice. Educating patients about the advantages and effectiveness of these therapies to lower stress and encourage relaxation is one of the patient recommendations.
Goals
Following this presentation, the student will be capable of:
Explain the techniques, mechanisms of action, efficacy, and personal advantages of complementary therapy.
Use integration techniques for complementary and alternative modalities to encourage stress reduction.
Inform patients on the advantages and efficacy of complementary therapy.

Abstract
Hospitalized patients along with nurses providing their care are subject to increased stress as a
result of managing and treating acute illness. Therefore, aromatherapy, hand massage, and
guided meditation therapies were examined for their effectiveness on stress reduction in these
individuals. A critical review of literature together with a personal trial of these therapies were
used to evaluate their definition, mechanism of action, practice implementation practicality, and
effectiveness. Individuals who benefit from receiving these therapies were also recognized. The
literature and personal assessment of these therapies provides robust evidence to support the
effectiveness and use of these therapies for stress reduction. The type of evidence obtained
included qualitative and quantitative research studies. Additional benefits demonstrated by these
therapies were also identified. Recommendations for nursing practice implementation include
education of therapy methods and effectiveness on stress reduction in combination with nursing
practice integration strategies. Patient recommendations include teaching complementary
therapy benefits and efficacy to reduce stress through relaxation.

1. describe complementary therapy methods, mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and
