本文介绍了经验的医生谁管理治疗触摸（TT）的两个病人在重症监护病房和经验的两个病人接受TT。这些经验作为两个案例研究提出。病例研究中的每名患者都接受了5次或10次TT治疗，每次持续5分钟。在每次给予TT后，从业者口头和书面描述了她的感觉。然而，由于病人的身体状况，只进行了简短的访谈，要求病人描述他们接受TT的经历。案例研究中反映的经验表明，TT有助于患者放松，带来舒适感和平静感。就像冥想一样，TT可以帮助患者更好地了解自己。他们开始更了解自己和现实。TT被推荐为一种有助于重症监护患者心理健康的实践，因为它可以促进放松，舒适和平静感。
This article describes the experiences of a practitioner who administered therapeutic touch (TT) to two patients in an intensive care unit and the experiences of the two patients who received TT. The experiences are presented as two case studies. Each of the patients presented in the case studies received either five or ten treatments of TT lasting five minutes each. Following each administration of TT the practitioner described what she sensed verbally and in writing. However, owing to the medical conditions of the patients, only brief interviews were conducted in which the patients were asked to describe their experiences of receiving TT. The experiences, which have been reflected in the case studies, indicate TT assists patients to relax, brings comfort and a sense of peace. Much like meditation, TT helps patients become more in touch with themselves. They come to understand more about themselves and reality. TT is recommended as a practice which could contribute to the psychological well-being of patients in intensive care as it promotes relaxation, comfort and a sense of peace.
