Relationship between pleasure feelings and autonomic nerve activity in nursing care.

通过文献综述和实验研究相结合的方法，积累了“热敷”效果的证据，认为“热敷”可引起舒适性嗜睡和交感神经功能减退，并在此基础上对住院患者进行了干预评价研究。住院患者睡前对颈部后部进行热敷，感觉舒适。由于应激减少，唾液淀粉酶a值降低，远端皮肤温度升高。此外，研究还发现，颈部后部的热敷可以促进夜间睡眠。

We accumulated the evidence about the effect of "hot compresses" by an integrated literature review and the experimental research.It was suggested that "hot compresses" caused comfortable sleepiness and a sympathetic decrease.Based on these results, we conducted the intervention evaluation study to inpatients. The inpatients received the hot compresses to posterior region of the neck before going to bed, then they felt comfortableness. Because stress decreased, a value of salivary amylase decreased, and the distal skin temperature increased. Besides, it was found that the hot compresses to posterior region of the neck promoted night sleep.
