COMPARISON OF PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR RELAXATION (PMR) AND MUSIC THERAPY (MT) IN REDUCING THE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND STRESS SYMPTOMS AMONG NURSES

Objective: To compare the progressive muscular relaxation and music therapy in reducing the anxiety, depression and stress symptoms among nurses. Study Design: Quasi-experimental Study. Place and Duration of Study: Various hospitals in Rawalpindi, from Mar 2018 to Mar 2019. Methodology: Sample of study was 20 female nurses. They were assessed by using depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS21), Urdu version. Study participants were randomized into two groups, group 1= who received the music therapy (n=10); group 2=who receive progressive muscular relaxation (n=10). Both the groups were provided with 4 sessions of both interventions for one month. After completion of intervention, post assessment was carried immediately and analysis was carried out. Results: Mean age of nurses was 31 ± 7.42 years (range from 19-45 years). Significant difference was found which showed that progressive muscular relaxation was more effective in reducing the symptoms of depression and stress as compared to music therapy. Whereas, no significant difference (p>0.05) was found on anxiety (both the treatments equally reduced the anxiety). Conclusion: Progressive muscular relaxation was found to be more effective in reducing stress and depression in nurses than music therapy. The use of such techniques can serve as an additional therapy in the treatment of stress, anxiety and depression and can be used to reduce the need for pharmacological therapy.

Parametric Statistical Test

Background: Airway obstruction in COPD patients results in decreased oxygen saturation (SPO2) values. COPD non-pharmacological therapy with pursed lip breathing and 6 minutes walk exercise can theoretically increase the functional capacity of the lungs and have an impact on the value of oxygen saturation in the blood of unknown difference. Therefore the study aims to determine the difference in oxygen saturation values between pursed lip breathing and 6 minutes walk exercise in COPD patients at the Central Pulmonary Health Center (BBKPM) Surakarta. Method: This research is a quasi-experimental study using two groups of pre and post test design. COPD patients treated at BBKPM Surakarta became the study population whose samples were taken by purposive sampling technique of 60 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and then performed a parametric statistical test using the Mann Whitney test Results: The results showed that the average SPO2 value of pre and post in the pursed lip breathing intervention group increased 2.69%, while for the intervention group 6 minutes walk exercise increased an average of 1.71%. There is a significant difference in the average SPO2 value between pursed lip breathing and 6 minutes walk exercise which results sig (2-tailed) 0,000. Conclusion: The average SPO2 value of the pursed lip breathing intervention group was higher than the 6 minutes walk exercise group and it was proven that the difference was significant

Context In order to study the efficacy of assessment methods, a theoretical framework of Earl's model of assessment was introduced. Objective (1) Introduce the predictive learning assessment model (PLAM) as an application of Earl's model of learning; (2) test Earl's model of learning through the use of the Standardized Orthopedic Assessment Tool (SOAT); and (3) establish construct validity of the SOAT. Design Quasi-experimental. Setting Three Canadian universities Patients or Other Participants A convenience sample of 57 third-year undergraduate athletic therapy students from three universities were randomly assigned into three experimental groups. Intervention(s) Treatment group 1 gave the instructor access to the SOAT, but the instructor could not explicitly share it. Treatment group 2 gave both the instructor and students access to the SOAT throughout the semester to use formatively. Group three was the comparison. Main Outcome Measure(s) All students were tested using the SOAT at the end of the semester using expert raters. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) (P < .05) was used to determine whether there was a difference between groups in their final examination grades. Results The ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference between groups (F2,56 = 28.6, P < .01). The effect size, calculated using η2, was 0.51. Post hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between treatment group 2 and the other treatment group and comparison group. Conclusions Small sample size and the quasi-experimental design prevent definitive conclusions, but the SOAT was able to discriminate between various groups, supporting our construct validity objective. The SOAT was introduced as a predictive tool that may assist orthopaedic assessment skill development. The treatment group exposed to the SOAT demonstrated that formative assessment of students using the SOAT was an effective means of teaching relative to no exposure or where only the instructor was exposed to the SOAT.

Introduction: Pregnancy can place a woman’s life into various instances that can induce anxiety. This anxiety can then cause serious complications that may occur throughout gestation. Hence, this study introduced music therapy as an intervention and evaluated its effectiveness in managing anxiety among third trimester primigravid mothers. Method: A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design was employed among 50 primigravid mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy that were divided into control (25) and experimental (25) groups. The experimental group received health education and music therapy that was given thirty minutes a day thrice a week for two weeks while the control group only received routine health teaching. Post-test anxiety was collected after two weeks for both groups. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), a 21-item standardized questionnaire with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.736 was used to measure the variables in the study. Power analysis showed a power of 1.00 with a large effect size of 2.08 at a= 0.05. Independent t-test, paired t-test, and analysis of covariance were utilized as measures to determine the effectiveness of the therapy. Results & Discussion: The results showed a significant difference (p=0.0001) between the pre- and post-test scores of both groups. Furthermore, a significant difference (p=0.0001) was noted between the post-test anxiety scores of both groups. Music therapy especially containing gospel songs is an effective way in alleviating the anxiety experienced by primigravid women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy
