담요제공이 Brain MRI검사를 받는 환자의 불안에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an offered blanket on the anxiety of patients undergoing brain MRI. Methods: We evaluated 26 patients who underwent brain MRI in C university hospital of Gcity. We formed a nonequivalent control group of 52 patients and performed the study in a non-synchronized manner. Data were collected from May to December 2015, and compared using the chi-squared test, the independent t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. We employed SPSS software version 21.0 to this end. Results: We found no significant difference in the anxiety measured by STAI of the two groups(t=-1.75, p=0.087). The visual analog scales cores of the experimental and control groups did not significantly differ(t=-2.75,p=0.008). None of the systolic blood pressure (F=2.86,p=0.097), diastolic blood pressure (F=0.85,p=0.362), or pulse rate (F=0.70,p=0.407) of the experimental and control groups differed. Conclusion: A blanket part-modulated the anxiety of patients undergoing brain MRI.
