Elderly people living in old age homes who received mind-body interventions—Benson's Relaxation Technique, Guided Imagery, and mindfulness exercises—showed substantial improvements in psychological health. Stress scores dropped from an average of 23.71 to 10.86, anxiety from 27.62 to 12.71, and depression from 10.05 to 5.24, while quality of life scores rose from 37.81 to 54.24. A control group receiving routine care showed minimal changes. Physical and biochemical markers remained largely unchanged in both groups. The findings suggest that integrating these non-pharmacological techniques into nursing care can significantly enhance elderly well-being.
Receptive Provocation therapy, a multisensory stimulation approach, improves cognitive function and level of consciousness in patients with traumatic brain injury. In a randomized trial, 70 patients were assigned to either an experimental group that received 20-25 minutes of RP therapy daily for seven days or a control group that received routine care. Assessments on day eight showed significant improvements in cognitive function and consciousness in the experimental group, while the control group showed no significant changes. The findings suggest that RP therapy is an effective intervention for enhancing recovery after TBI.
