As one study suggested that a foot
reflexology massage could be utilized as an
effective nursing intervention to reduce
depression, stress responses and to
strengthen immune systems in middle-aged
women. There was a statistically significant
difference in depression, perceived stress,
systolic blood pressure, natural-killer cells and
IgG after foot massage.15 Quattrin et al
conducted a study on the anxiety level of the
cancer patients and effect on their vital signs
such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic
blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate
with reflexology. These were significantly
decreased in vital signs after 30 minutes of
reflexology.16 In the current study,there was
decrease in the systolic blood pressure toward
the normal range as there was statistically
significant decrease in the fourth and fifth
observation.
