Impact of ERCS on Perceived Stress in Patients Hospitalized in the Post-resuscitation Rehabilitation Service

Официальное название

Impact of Energy Resonance by Skin Stimulation on Perceived Stress in Patients Hospitalized in the Post-resuscitation Rehabilitation Service

Обзор

Surviving an intensive care unit hospitalization (ICU) can be the beginning of a long rehabilitation journey, hindered by symptoms of stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In order to improve the care of these patients, it's essential to explore effective non-pharmacological approaches to reduce stress. Many non-drug techniques are being developed to alleviate the physical and psychological pain of patients. Energy Resonance by Skin Stimulation (ERCS) is a noninvasive method of soothing and supporting the patient. This technique is based on the energetic principles of traditional Chinese medicine. It relies on a "listening contact" through the stimulation of cutaneous points to create resonance and transmit vibrational and wave messages in the tissues. ERCS has various applications, whether for the management of acute or chronic pain, emotional disorders such as fear, anxiety, and depression. Our study aims to assess the effects of ERCS on the perceived stress of patients hospitalized in the post-ICU rehabilitation service. By demonstrating its potential impact on both physical and psychological recovery, this research could support the integration of RESC into care protocols and open new perspectives for stress management in hospital settings
