“…Furthermore [36] reported that after the treatment, the anxiety score of study subjects was significantly lower than before. The results were contradicted with Rodi et al [37] who stated that there were no significant changes in depression when compare results of both groups. This discrepancy may be attributed to the difference in sampling techniques and different measuring tools.…”

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of relaxation therapy on depression, anxiety, stress, quality of life, and blood glucose levels among patients diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used. Sample: Convenience sample of 70 patients was recruited and assigned to one of two groups, an intervention group (Group A) and a control group (Group B). A table of random numbers was generated and used to make group assignments. Setting: The study was conducted at Medical Outpatient Clinics in Menoufia University Hospital, Menoufia governorate, Egypt. Instruments: Data collection included a structured interview questionnaire that included socio-demographic characteristics and clinical data, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BRIEF). Results: The findings indicate that anxiety level, stress, depression, and quality of life were improved in the intervention group with a statistically significant degree compared to the control group. Conclusions: Relaxation therapy improved depression, anxiety, stress, quality of life, and blood glucose levels among patients diagnosed with T2DM. Recommendation: Relaxation therapy, patient education programs and treatment protocols should be integrated into the medical outpatient clinic to assist patients diagnosed with T2DM to cope with their stress, anxiety, depression, and enhance blood glucose control.

“…PMR exercise is a nursing intervention that is used to manage or reduce cancer-related symptoms. PMR is able to reduce anxiety and stress level in patients with prostate malignancy (p value < 0.001) [17]. PMR exercise is able to improve an individual's capacity to manage various stressful circumstances and increase self-control [18].…”

The most common symptoms in lung cancer are dyspnea and anxiety that cause restlessness on patients. This study aimed to identify the impact of PLB and PMR training program on the increase of oxygen saturation level and relaxation in patients with lung cancer. The study design was Quasi-Experiment with pre-test and post-test without control group. The inclusion criteria were patients with lung cancer who were affected by shortness of breath, admitted for at least 6 days, and provided with oxygen therapy through nasal cannula. The exclusion criteria were patient with musculoskeletal disorder, abnormal hemoglobin level, and pleural effusion. 19 participants were involved in this study. The instruments included pulse oximetry to measure oxygen saturation as well as subjective and objective monitoring form to measure relaxation level. The Faculty of Nursing of Universitas Indonesia had issued ethical clearance before the study was conducted. The results indicated a significant difference in oxygen saturation before and after PLB and PMR training program (p value < 0.05), and a significant difference in the level of relaxation before and after PLB and PMR training program (p value < 0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that age was a strong predictor of oxygen saturation. This study concluded that breathing and relaxation training program were able to promote oxygen saturation level and relaxation. Nurses are encouraged to apply this exercise for patients with lung cancer who are affected by shortness of breath. The authors suggest to apply a qualitative method by providing longer time for intervention for further study.

“…PMR was developed by the American physician Edmund Jacobson at the beginning of the 20 th century (46). Since then, short forms and modifications of this relaxation technique have often been used and have been shown to have positive psychophysiological effects in the general population and in patients with somatic and psychological diseases (48)(49)(50)(51)(52). PMR includes the tension of certain muscle-groups followed by the subsequent relaxation of these muscles.…”

Patients with chronic itch suffer from higher levels of depression and anxiety than their healthy counterparts. Furthermore, psychological factors, such as stress, are known to aggravate itch. The mere act of thinking about itching can induce the sensation. Interventions like habit reversal training and arousal reduction have been shown to have positive effects on itch relief. Yet, there is still limited data on the psychological management to control the itch scratch cycle and a description of methods suitable to address itch. In this review, we describe different psychological interventions shown to be effective in the treatment of chronic itch. We also provide suggestions based on our experience of suitable interventions for patients with different types of itch.
