The purpose of this project is to test the effectiveness of the nursing intervention of Therapeutic Touch in the reduction of anxiety in preoperative cardiac surgery patients. Specifically, this project seeks to determine the effects of Therapeutic Touch on self evaluation of anxiety; systolic blood pressure and heart rate on subjects awaiting open-heart surgery. An experimental, pretest-posttest design will be utilized. A sample of at least 150 male and female subjects, hospitalized for cardiac surgery on the day following intervention, will be recruited. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups, namely, Therapeutic Touch, Mimic Therapeutic Touch, or no intervention. Subjects will complete the STAI-XI State Anxiety Questionnaire, and have their blood pressure and heart-rate recorded before intervention; immediately after intervention, and one hour post intervention. Analysis of covariance will be utilized, with pre-test scores as covariants, to test six hypotheses which predict a greater decrease in posttest measures in the Therapeutic Touch group than in the two control groups.

本项目的目的是检验护理的有效性。 治疗性触摸在降低焦虑症中的干预作用 术前心脏手术患者。具体地说，这个项目旨在 确定治疗性触摸对焦虑自评的影响； 等待心内直视手术受试者的收缩压和心率 做手术。将采用实验性的前测-后测设计。一个 至少150名因心脏病住院的男性和女性受试者样本 干预后第二天手术，将被招募。科目 将被随机分配到三个干预组之一，即， 治疗性触摸、模拟治疗性触摸或无干预。科目 将完成STAI-XI状态焦虑问卷，并抽血 干预前记录的血压和心率；干预后立即记录 干预，干预后1小时。协方差分析意志 利用前测分数作为协变量，检验六个假设 他们预测在治疗中后测措施的减少更大 触摸组优于两个对照组。
