RESUMO CONTEXTO:O enfermeiro deve interagir com as pessoas em situação de saúde ou doença, melhorando o seu contexto sociocultural e o seu processo transição. Estas interações são organizadas com um propósito em que o enfermeiro utiliza ações terapêuticas para promover a saúde. A massagem terapêutica consiste em pressionar e esfregar o corpo ou partes deste com ns terapêuticos. OBJETIVO(S):Avaliar o efeito da intervenção da massagem terapêutica na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica. METODOLOGIA: Revisão sistemática da literatura, através dos descritores "pacientes", "oncologia" e "massagem", estudos de 2000 a 2012, em bases de dados e motores de busca online. RESULTADOS: O corpus do estudo foi composto por 15 artigos e demonstra que a massagem terapêutica reduz, quer de imediato, quer a longo prazo, a ansiedade e a depressão. Contudo, há estudos em que não existiram diferenças nestas variáveis. Esta intervenção melhora, de imediato, o relaxamento, o bem-estar emocional e o padrão de sono, a dor, o desconforto físico-emocional e a fadiga. Não houveram diferenças estatísticas signi cativas que corroborassem a melhoria da qualidade de vida, stress e sofrimento. CONCLUSÕES: A massagem terapêutica tem efeitos bené cos a curto prazo na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica. No entanto, relativamente à ansiedade e depressão os resultados analisados são contraditórios, reportando-se para investigações futuras. Sugerimos novas pesquisas para maior consistência empírica sobre os efeitos da intervenção da massagem terapêutica na saúde mental das pessoas com patologia oncológica e assim contribuir para a prática de uma enfermagem de excelência baseada na evidência. BACKGROUND: Nurses should interact with people in health status or disease, improving their socio-cultural context and its process transition. ese interactions are organized with a purpose in which nurses use therapeutic actions to promote health. erapeutic massage is to press and rub the body or parts thereof for therapeutic purposes. AIM: Evaluate the e ect of massage therapy intervention in the mental health of people with cancer pathology. METHODS: Systematic literature review through the descriptors "patients", "oncology" and "massage", from 2000 to 2012 studies, in databases and online search engines. RESULTS: e study was composed of 15 items and shows that massage therapy reduces, either immediately or the long term, anxiety and depression. However, there are studies in which there were no di erences in these variables. is intervention improves, immediately, relaxation, emotional well-being and sleep patterns, pain, physical and emotional discomfort and fatigue. ere were no statistically signicant di erences which would support improved quality of life, stress and su ering. CONCLUSIONS: erapeutic massage has bene cial e ects in the short term in the mental health of people with cancer pathology. However, with regard to anxiety and depression the results analyzed are contradictory, reporting for future investigations. We suggest ...
The values of students occupy a central position in the cognitive system and on student's personality, because it includes components of knowledge, affective and behavioural, determining their attitudes and motivations. In order to respond to the question "what are the values in students of higher education" we have done a review of literature indexed in databases online, getting 23 articles published between 2008/2017. The reflection on the values of a student is of extreme importance to the educational system, due to the relationship between education and human values, resetting or recapturing the true role of the school in the formation of values. The results show that through the school it is possible to construct and develop human values in students, making it a place for this construction, without neglecting the importance of family. With the heterogeneity of methodologies of the studies, we suggest the development of more homogeneous research, materials and methods to evaluate the values of University students.
The increase in longevity and incidence of chronic diseases reveals an increased importance in terms of public health. The oncologic illness is a debilitating and progressive pathology with need for prevention and symptomatic relief. In order to find the answer to the question: "What is the effect of massage therapy in cancer patients?" we have reviewed the empirical literature indexed in databases online, finding only 21 articles published between 1990 and 2015. It was possible to verify some of the effects of massage therapy, particularly in relieving pain, decreased anxiety, depression and nausea and increased well-being. However, it was not found the effect of this intervention on the relief of suffering and the quality of life of patients. With the heterogeneity of methodologies, studies suggest the development of more homogeneous research, materials and methods to assess the effects of massage therapy in cancer patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
