“…The studies classified as poor did not describe how the authors performed the randomization (18)(19) , did not explain the account of all patients (12,18) or did not randomize the patients (12)(13) . The majority of the articles reviewed did not describe the study settings and did not control some aspects that could have changed patients' anxiety, such as the light color (30) . Another result that should be emphasized is that, although most of the studies were clinical trials, sample sizes were small, ranging from 17 to 238 participants; some studies did not calculate sample size.…”

Non-pharmacological strategies to decrease anxiety in cardiac catheterization: integrative review

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: to identify and review the literature on non-pharmacological strategies used for reducing anxiety in patients receiving cardiac catheterization. Method: this study was an integrative literature review. The research was conducted using the databases LILACS, SciELO, Medline (through BVS and PubMed) and Scopus. Studies were analyzed according to their objective, method, instruments used for evaluating patients' anxiety, and the results obtained. Results: the most used strategy for reducing anxiety in patients receiving cardiac catheterization was music therapy. However, no study identifying the most appropriate time for this intervention (before, during and/or after the procedure) was found. Other strategies identifi ed in this review were educational videos, massage, and palm therapy. Conclusion: the results found suggest that anxiety can be reduced using non-pharmacological strategies. Keywords: Anxiety; Nursing; Cardiac Catheterization. RESUMO Objetivo: identifi car na literatura estudos que abordam as estratégias não farmacológicas utilizadas para redução da ansiedade de pacientes que se submetem ao cateterismo cardíaco. Método: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, Medline (via BVS e PubMed) e Scopus. Os estudos foram analisados de acordo com seu objetivo, métodos, instrumentos utilizados para avaliar ansiedade dos pacientes e resultados obtidos. Resultados: a musicoterapia foi a estratégia mais abordada para a redução da ansiedade. Entretanto, não foi encontrado nenhum estudo que identifi casse o momento mais adequado para esta intervenção (antes, durante e/ou após o procedimento hemodinâmico). Outras estratégias identifi cadas nesta revisão foram o vídeo educacional, massagem e terapia na palma das mãos. Conclusão: os resultados encontrados sugerem que a ansiedade pode ser diminuída com o emprego de estratégias não farmacológicas. Descritores: Ansiedade; Enfermagem; Cateterismo Cardíaco. RESUMENObjetivo: identifi car y revisar los estudios de literatura que abordan las estrategias no farmacológicas utilizadas para reducir la ansiedad en los pacientes que reciben un cateterismo cardíaco.

“…More recently, Choi et al (2011) showed that among a cohort of healthy Korean adults without diagnosable mental illness red light (wavelength range 620–780, 0.4 lux) decreased two measures of HRV associated with parasympathetic activity among subjects with state anxiety or depression suggesting that light may have mood-dependent, wavelength-specific effects. In particular, this study implemented very dim light, whereas the antidepressant effects of light therapy have been demonstrated with bright light (in the range of several thousand lux); it is also notable that only short-term measures of HRV immediately before and after light exposure were evaluated.…”

Bright light therapy for depression: A review of its effects on chronobiology and the autonomic nervous system

Bright light therapy (BLT) is considered among the first-line treatments for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), yet a growing body of literature supports its use in other neuropsychiatric conditions including non-seasonal depression. Despite evidence of its antidepressant efficacy, clinical use of BLT remains highly variable internationally. In this article, we explore the autonomic effects of BLT and suggest that such effects may play a role in its antidepressant and chronotherapeutic properties. After providing a brief introduction on the clinical application of BLT, we review the chronobiological effects of BLT on depression and on the autonomic nervous system in depressed and non-depressed individuals with an emphasis on non-seasonal depression. Such a theory of autonomic modulation via BLT could serve to integrate aspects of recent work centered on alleviating allostatic load, the polyvagal theory, the neurovisceral integration model and emerging evidence on the roles of glutamate and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GABA).

“…These have been used in a great number of research (e.g. [8], [15], [12], [16], [11], [17], and [18]). RGB-histograms for measuring statistical properties of color images are related to color emotion vectors [11].…”

Abstract. This paper introduces a study on the relationship between emotion regulation and color preference. In the described pilot study, participants are asked to label uniform color images by using opposite meaningful words belonging to four semantic scales, namely "Tension" (ranging from Relax to Stress), "Temperature" (Coldness to Warmness), "Amusement" (Boredom to Fun) and "Attractiveness" (Pleasantness to Unpleasantness). Simultaneously, the participants have to indicate if they feel certain emotions while observing each colored image, as well as to rate the intensity of the feeling. The labeled emotions are "Joy", "Happiness", and "Sadness". The results demonstrate that people generally perceive color emotions for one-colored images in similar ways, though showing some variations for males and females. Several conclusions about the relations between color and emotions are presented.
