Abstract:
:To determine the effect of relaxation training on the frequency of intake of pro re nata medication for relief of tension and to compare the difference between live and taped instructions of this training 60 patients on PRN minor tranquilizers and sedatives in one nursing unit were studied. Subjects were randomly assigned to three groups: group A, control; group B, live instruction; group C, taped instruction. Dependent variables monitored were: 1) frequency of intake of PRN medication; 2) pre- and postinstruction change in blood pressure, pulse, and respiration; 3) change in the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale; and 4) change on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory score. Although no significant difference was found between method of relaxation training, there was evidence that group B surpassed group C in terms of benefit of the treatment. Physiologic variables as well as MMPI scales K, I, and VII yielded better results for group B. Not all variables demonstrated significant differences. Groups B and C were more similar at the conclusion of the study than had been anticipated-perhaps because subjects responded favorably to inclusion in the study regardless of method of training.
