“…When individuals engage in diaphragmatic breathing, it induces both physiological and mental relaxation (Hopper et al, 2019). Furthermore, deep breathing practices have been found to slow down the heart rate and breathing rate, lower blood pressure, and induce muscle relaxation, as supported by studies such as Rahman et al (2021). These findings also underscore the importance of incorporating deep breathing exercises into anxiety-reduction interventions, as they can provide individuals with practical tools to manage and alleviate their anxiety symptoms effectively.…”

Middle-aged women are susceptible to experiencing anxiety, which, if left untreated, can lead to decreased productivity and hinder social interactions, ultimately impacting overall well-being. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in alleviating anxiety in middle-aged women. The research design employed a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pre-test-post-test design and follow-up assessment. The participants included seven middle-aged women aged between 53 and 60 years (mean age = 56.71). They were selected based on screening results using the DASS42 anxiety scale, which indicated severe and very severe anxiety. Data collection consisted of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Data were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA method. The results of the data analysis revealed an F-value of 120, p < .001, indicating significant differences between the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments. Specifically, significant differences were found between pre-test and post-test (p < .001), pre-test and follow-up (p < .001), and post-test and follow-up (p < .001) results. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy in reducing anxiety among middle-aged women. Therefore, cognitive-behavioral group therapy emerges as a viable intervention for addressing anxiety in this demographic.

“…While indigenous devices providing feedback have recently been described, we believe that Respiframe is a unique mechanism for ensuring the replicability of the amplitude of DIBH. [ 18 ] It provides tactile feedback to the patient for the amplitude of breath hold. The in-built gear mechanism allows individualization of the positioning of the pointer that is in contact with the patient.…”

Deep inspiratory breath-hold radiation for left-sided breast cancer using novel frame-based tactile feedback

et al. 2023

A frame providing tactile feedback for the reproducibility of deep inspiratory breath-hold (DIBH) is described. The frame, fitted across the patient, comprises a horizontal bar, parallel to the patient’s long axis, and holds a graduated pointer perpendicular to it. The pointer provides individualized tactile feedback for reproducibility of DIBH. Within the pointer is a movable pencil, bearing a 5 mm coloured strip which becomes visible only during DIBH, and acts as a visual cue to the therapist. The average variation in separation in the planning and pretreatment cone-beam computed tomography of 10 patients was 2 mm (confidence interval 1.95–2.05). Frame-based tactile feedback is a novel, reproducible technique for DIBH.
