The effects of foot massage on restless leg syndrome in hemodialysis patients: A systematic review

Background: Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes an irresistible desire to move the legs. RLS is a problem that is often encountered in hemodialysis (HD) patients and can affect the patient's quality of life. Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of massage therapy and aromatherapy on symptoms of restless leg syndrome and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. Method: Systematic review study design that refers to the Preferred Reporting Items for Literature Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The literature used was published from 2013-2023 through databases including, ProQuest, Science Direct, Cochrane, Ebsco Host, SAGE Journal, Taylor & Francis, and Scopus with the keywords "Restless Leg Syndrome", "Leg Massage", and "Dialysis". Results: This study recorded significant massage interventions in hemodialysis patients in seven articles with varying massage methods, including stretching, reflexology, and Swedish massage. Another method also adds aromatherapy massage using essential oils. Muscle massage can increase relaxation and blood circulation in the legs, as well as improve the patient's sleep quality. Adding sensory nerve stimulation using aromatherapy will increase the patient's relaxation speed. Apart from massage therapy using hands, vibrators can also be used and have been proven to be effective in reducing restless leg syndrome. However, currently the use of vibrators is not yet widespread. Conclusion: Massage therapy is effective in reducing restless legs syndrome and improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. When carrying out massage therapy, several types of lubricants can be used to increase the effectiveness of massage therapy, such as lavender, olive oil, glycerine and citrus.

The Effect of Foot Massage on Comfort and Pain Intensity After Vaginal Delivery

Childbirth is a mother's subjective experience that is very memorable in her life. It is important to maintain maternal comfort so that the process of adapting to motherhood can run well. Pain during postpartum is one of the factors that prevents mothers from having difficulty adapting during the postpartum period, especially in primapara mothers. A pharmacological method that can be given to increase comfort and reduce the intensity of pain is foot massage. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of foot massage on the comfort and intensity of maternal pain after vaginal delivery during the postpartum period. This type of quasi-experimental research sample consisted of 38 respondents and the sampling technique used simple random sampling. This research was conducted at the Independent Early Midwife Practice in Lubuk Pakam. Respondents consisted of 2 groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. The instruments used were questionnaires, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Post Partum Comfort Scale (PCS). Data analysis used chi-square/Fisher's exact test, independent-samples t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The mean maternal comfort score in the intervention group was higher than the control group (143.45 ± 8.96, 119.00 ± 14.65, respectively) with a value of p = 0.000. The mean pain score in the intervention group was lower than the control group (1.36 ± 1.22, 4.95 ± 2.27) and the p value = 0.000. Foot massage is effective in increasing comfort and reducing the intensity of pain after vaginal delivery. The increase in maternal comfort after intervention was 18.34% and the reduction in pain intensity after vaginal delivery was 73%. In this way, midwives can apply foot massage to every mother after vaginal delivery.

Effects of foot-massage in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum on severity of nausea-vomiting and anxiety

ABSTRACT Objective This study was conducted to determine the effects of foot massage performed on pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum on the severity of nausea and vomiting and pregnancy-related anxiety. Material and method This randomised controlled study was conducted between February and November 2020 with 104 pregnant women hospitalised in the pregnant women follow-up service ward of a public hospital in eastern Turkey with the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum. Data were obtained from the pregnant women who were given a ‘Personal Information Form’ and before and after each application by using the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) Test and the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale-Revision 2 (PRAQ-R2). Results Before foot massage, the pre-test mean PUQE total, PRAQR-2 total, and PRAQR2 fear of childbirth and concerns about physical appearance dimension scores of the participants in the experimental and control groups were similar (p > 0.05), It was determined that the PRAQR2 fear of having a disabled child control group had significantly higher pre-test scores compared to the massage group (p < 0.05). After foot massage, the severity of nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in the participants in the experimental group compared to those in the control group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the mean PRAQR2 total and dimension scores of the participants in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion These findings support the use of the foot massage is an effective intervention in reducing the severity of nausea and vomiting and pregnancy-related anxiety.

Foot Massage Berpengaruh Terhadap Nyeri Pada Pasien Dengan Post Sectio Caesarea Di Ruang Jade RSUD Dr Slamet Garut: Studi Kasus

Section Cesarea (SC) is a method of delivering a fetus through an abdominal incision (laparotomy) and an incision in the uterus (hysterotomy). The problem that most often occurs in post-SC mothers is pain. Foot massage produces impulses that are sent through nociceptor afferent nerve fibers which make the gates close so that the pain stimulus is blocked. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of foot massage on pain in post-SC mothers in the Jade room at Dr. Slamet Hospital, Garut. The research design used is descriptive with a case study method. The research was conducted in the Jade room at Dr. Slamet Hospital, Garut. The number of participants was one client who experienced post SC for indications of placenta previa and former SC. Data was collected from the results of the assessment using the postpartum assessment format from the Department of Maternity, Faculty of Nursing, Padjadjaran University and the Numeric Rating Scale to assess pain. The results of the case study showed a decrease in the pain scale felt by the mother after SC where the pain scale before the foot massage intervention was 7/10 and after the foot massage intervention the pain scale decreased to 4/10. Thus, Foot Massage has an influence on reducing the pain scale in Post SC mothers in the Jade room at Dr. Slamet Hospital, Garut. Foot massage can be an alternative non-pharmacological management that can be carried out by nurses to reduce pain in post-SC mothers. Suggestions for future researchers are expected to use experimental research methods to reduce bias.

The research data were analyzed using the Friedman test then continued with the post-hoc Wilcoxon Sign Rank test analysis. Foot massage therapy was given a significant effect on non-invasive hemodynamic status in patients in ICU, including decreasing respiratory frequency (p=0.002), decreasing MAP (p=0.002), decreasing heart rate (p=0.002), and increasing oxygen saturation (p=0.002). It provides a relaxation response that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to decrease its activity and increase the work of the parasympathetic nerves which influence decreasing heart rate and blood pressure so that there is a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the tissues then reduce the respiratory rate to become normal.
