The Effectiveness of Mind-Body Therapy on Reducing Anxiety Levels of Pre-Operative Patients: A Literature Study

Abstract

Many patients experience anxiety before surgery. Complementary therapy with a mind-body therapy approach can be used to reduce this anxiety. This study aimed to provide an overview of the effectiveness of complementary therapy with a mind-body therapy approach in reducing anxiety in pre-operative patients. The study was a literature study of 3,324 articles. Following the selection process, 2 articles were found: Pubmed (n=9) and Portal Garuda (n=3). The articles were discovered using the keywords, mind-body therapy AND anxiety AND preoperative OR preoperation for international articles. Assessment of article quality was carried out using the Joanna Briggs Institute ( JBI) for Randomized Controlled Trials and Quasi-experimental. The study used a thematic method of analysis. Complementary therapy with the mindbody therapy approach had the advantage of being easy to apply and inexpensive compared to other therapies. Guided imagery, visual imagery, music and art therapy are alternative therapies that can be given to reduce anxiety levels in pre-operative patients.


Keywords: alternative therapies, anxiety levels, complementary therapy, pre-operative patients
