Background
This study aims to measure the effect of guided imagery and hand massage on self-rated wellbeing and pain for palliative care patients. Methods This study adopted a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. The sample consisted of n = 20 adult palliative care patients who received one session of guided imagery and hand massage. Self-reported levels of wellbeing and pain were measured on a scale of 010 before and after the intervention. Results were analyzed using a one-tailed sign test in SPSS Software. Results The intervention elicited a statistically significant improvement in self-reported levels of wellbeing (p = .029) and pain (p = .001). Feedback from participants showed the intervention was helpful and relaxing. Conclusion The intervention had an immediate positive effect on wellbeing and pain among palliative care patients. Considering the promising results of this pilot study, guided imagery and hand massage should be studied further in the palliative care setting |
