Non-pharmacological strategies to reduce stress and anxiety in endovascular procedures: A scoping review.

AIM: This study aimed to identify and map the production of knowledge on non-pharmacological strategies to reduce stress and anxiety in patients undergoing endovascular procedures. DESIGN: Scoping review. METHODS: The review was performed using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The searches were conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, BVS/BIREME, Lilacs, Gale Academic OneFile, SciELO, Cochrane Library, CAPES Catalog of Dissertations and Theses, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation Portal of Theses and Dissertations, and Theses and Dissertations from Latin America. RESULTS: Twenty-two articles were selected. The articles were published from 2001 to 2022, mostly in Iran, and there was a predominance of randomized clinical trials. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was the most used instrument. The findings indicated that music therapy, educational guidelines or videos on the procedure, massage, psychological preparation and aromatherapy were the main non-pharmacological therapies used to reduce anxiety and stress in patients undergoing vascular procedures.

Non-pharmacological analgesia strategies in adult and elderly endovascular procedures: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: To identify the main non-pharmacological analgesia strategies used in clinical practice in adult and elderly endovascular procedures. METHODS: scoping review, undertaken in July 2021, on 12 national and international data sources. The recommendations of the JBI and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist were followed. Thirteen studies were selected to compose the sample, with no time or language cut-off. RESULTS: the main non-pharmacological strategies found were cold compress, use of music, and reflexology. The most prevalent procedures were coronary angiography, peripheral venous catheterization, and femoral catheter removal. Pain measurement by Visual Numeric Scale and Visual Analog Scale described pain reduction in adults and elderly. CONCLUSIONS: the main non-pharmacological strategies found were cold compress, use of music, and reflexology, which reduce pain in adults and the elderly.

RESUMEN Objetivos: identificar las principales estrategias no farmacológicas utilizadas en la práctica clínica en la analgesia de adultos y ancianos en procedimientos endovasculares. Métodos: revisión de escopo, realizada en julio de 2021, en 12 fuentes de datos nacionales e internacionales. Siguieron las recomendaciones del JBI y del checklist Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Fueron seleccionados 13 estudios para componer el muestreo, sin recorte temporal o de idioma. Resultados: las principales estrategias no farmacológicas encontradas fueron: compresa con hielo, uso de la música y reflexología. Los procedimientos más predominantes fueron: angiografía coronaria, cateterismo venoso periférico y retirada de catéter femoral. La medición del dolor por la Escala Visual Numérica y Escala Visual Analógica describieron reducción del dolor de adultos y ancianos. Conclusiones: las principales estrategias no farmacológicas encontradas fueron compresa con hielo, uso da música y reflexología, que reducen el dolor de adultos y ancianos.

RESUMO Objetivos: identificar as principais estratégias não farmacológicas utilizadas na prática clínica na analgesia de adultos e idosos em procedimentos endovasculares. Métodos: é uma revisão de escopo, realizada em julho de 2021, em 12 fontes de dados nacionais e internacionais. Seguiram-se as recomendações do JBI e do checklist Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Foram selecionados 13 estudos para compor a amostra, sem recorte temporal ou de idioma. Resultados: as principais estratégias não farmacológicas encontradas foram: compressa com gelo, uso da música e reflexologia. Os procedimentos mais prevalentes foram: angiografia coronariana, cateterismo venoso periférico e retirada de cateter femoral. A mensuração da dor pela Escala Visual Numérica e Escala Visual Analógica descreveram redução da dor de adultos e idosos. Conclusões: as principais estratégias não farmacológicas encontradas foram compressa com gelo, uso da música e reflexologia, que reduzem a dor de adultos e idosos.
