Abstract

Aim and Background: The present study aimed to examine the effect of massage on decreasing ANXIETY and DEPRESSION in addicted women imprisoned in Isfahan, Iran.Methods and Materials: The present study was a quasi-experimental study. Pre-test and post-test with control group design were used. Subjects were 30 participants who were divided in two experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group underwent MASSAGE THERAPY for 8 weeks (3 sessions per week) for 30 minutes, while for the control group discussions about daily issues were conducted for only 3 sessions per week. Beck Inventory questionnaires were used for measuring ANXIETY and DEPRESSION scores at the beginning and end of intervention period. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).Findings: After controlling for the pretest ANXIETY and DEPRESSION scores, MASSAGE THERAPY for 8 weeks significantly reduced ANXIETY (P<0.001; Partial h2=0.921) and DEPRESSION (P<0.001; Partial h2=0.881) scores of the addicted imprisoned women imprisoned in the experimental group in comparison to the control group.Conclusions: According to the results MASSAGE THERAPY can be used as a non-pharmacologic intervention for decreasing ANXIETY and DEPRESSION in the addicted women who were imprisoned.
