Evaluation of the effect of hand massage on arterial blood pressure, pulse, respiration and fetal heart rate in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia: a randomized study

Öz

Aim: The present study investigated whether hand massage affects maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate among women with preeclampsia. Materials and Method: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 32 pregnant women with preeclampsia, who were allocated in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group (n = 16) or the control group (n = 16). Data were obtained using a participant information and pregnancy follow-up form. In the intervention arm, hand massage was administered for 5 minutes to each hand. Maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate were recorded at baseline and at 10, 60, and 90 minutes after the massage. Statistical analyses were performed using the independent-samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance. Results: No significant group effect was identified for systolic blood pressure. Although diastolic blood pressure decreased over time among participants receiving hand massage, the observed changes in pulse rate, respiratory rate, and fetal heart rate were small and did not, in most cases, differ significantly across groups. Conclusion: Among women with preeclampsia, hand massage was associated with modest and transient changes in maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate. It may be considered a supportive, non-invasive adjunct to routine care.
