简要总结
Objective: This study was conducted to assess the effect of therapeutic touch on stress, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality and fatigue among the students of nursing and midwifery.
Design: Randomized placebo-controlled study.
详细描述
The trial was conducted between April and July 2018. The students who met the inclusion criteria were separated into three groups through randomization method as in therapeutic touch (n=32), placebo (n=32) and control (n=32), and a total of 96 students participated in the study. In this randomized placebo controlled study, the therapeutic touch group were subjected to therapeutic touch for twice a week throughout 4 weeks with each session of 20 minutes. The data was acquired via Student Information Form, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittburgh Sleep Quality Index, Perceived Stress Scale and Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
时间窗: Change from baseline and 4 weeks.
In PSQI analysis, 18 items were scored and there are 7 categories as in subjective sleep quality, delayed sleep, sleep duration, accustomed sleep activity, sleep disorder, use of sleeping pill and daytime dysfunction. Total score varies from 0 to 21. If the total PSQI score is ≤5, it stands for "good sleep quality", and if the score is \>5, it stands for "bad sleep quality"
Change in Perceived Stress Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline and 4 weeks.
The score of PSS-10 varied from 0 to 40. High score shows the excessiveness of the perceived stress of the individual
Change in Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline and 4 weeks.
The scale of fatigue is a scale of 10 cm that assesses the severity of the fatigue in the last week. The left side of the scale contains the label of "I do not feel fatigue", while the right side of the scale contains the label of "I Feel Extreme Fatigue and Exhaustion". VASF value is determined through the measurement of the distance between the very left side of the scale and the marked point
Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale
时间窗: Change from baseline and 4 weeks.
The scale consists of 8 items and score varies from 0-24. If the total score is between 2-10, it is considered as normal, pathological sleepiness indicator is greater than 10, thirteen and higher values are considered excessive daytime sleepiness.
