  • Essay / Anxiety Disorder - 1052

    The introduction to this article gives me an idea of ​​the importance of anxiety-related issues. The issue addressed in this journal is how fear and anxiety can negatively affect a client undergoing chemotherapy. The sources then go on to state that relaxation techniques can be used to reduce a client's anxiety level; however, these techniques exist in current practice that are costly and require nursing time for patients. The introduction ends with the problem statement. Although the sources correctly explain why the problem is vital, it would be helpful for them to list the number of people affected by cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. The authors also do not explain whether or not the problem is true for everyone with cancer receiving chemotherapy or whether it is only true for unique subsets of patients (Sabo and Michael, 1996). The aim of this review was to assess the benefit of an intervention that did not require overtime on the part of staff, patient, or administration by a trained expert. The research was not accompanied by a significant increase in spending. Although the authors list a reason for the study, they don't have a well-defined problem. The researcher may say that a message from the doctor would be helpful, but he or she does not reveal how it would be helpful. The author only highlights the other variable, which was the music use test. The problem is major and relevant as researchers search for a time and effective way to reduce anxiety and stress in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The unfavorable disagreement of this study was that receiving a personalized message directly from the doctor would...... middle of paper ...... the doctor. Music would reduce the patient's anxiety level and the side effects of chemotherapy. The authors respond that the intervention had no results on side effects. The researchers advise future studies. The authors suggest using a larger trial size as well as controlling for cancer types and treatments. The researchers discuss the clinical implications of this study. The author argues that this study demonstrated that a nursing intervention was helpful to patients and that the intervention did not require significant time or money. A review of the researchers' literature showed that this was the first review on cancer and music therapy for both authors. Works cited: Sabo, CE and Michael, SR (1996).
