Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety is common in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Some studies have shown that one of the decreasing factors in anxiety is relaxation. Importantly, this study has been done with the aim of investigate the effect of Jacobson;#39s relaxation on anxiety in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Materials and Methods: In this double-blind clinical trial 56 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention randomly assigned in to two test and control groups. Participants completed the state and trate anxiety Spilberberg questioner 50 minutes prior to the femoral Catheter outlet, then in test group, patients relaxed for 15 minutes. There was no intervention in the control group. In the two groups before the arterial catheter outlet, stat anxiety was measured again using Spilberger;#39s state Anxiety Questionnaire. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, marital status, education, place of residence and health insurance status. Interestingly, the findings showed that the mean of trait anxiety had no difference in two groups. The mean of state anxiety in relaxation group before and after intervention had Statistical significant difference but there was no significant difference in control group. Conclusion: Remarkably, the results of this study showed that Jacobson;#39s relaxation can reduce anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Therefore, Jacobson;#39s relaxation can be suggested as a non-invasive method to reduce the anxiety of patients before coronary intervention.
