  Title Relaxation: A nursing therapy to help relieve cardiac chest pain Type Journal Article
  Year 2000 Publication Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 18 Issue 1 Pages 40-44  
  Keywords Alternative therapies; Nursing; Patient satisfaction; Cardiovascular diseases  
  Abstract This article discusses ways in which relaxation, when used as an adjunct to medical therapies, can be a useful nursing management tool for effectively relieving cardiac pain. The available literature suggests that although nurses place a lot of importance on cardiac patients being pain free, it is apparent this is often not achieved. Research and documented case studies suggest that relaxation can play an important role in the treatment and prevention of this distressing symptom. The author advocates for nurses to challenge nursing practice and help patients deal effectively with chest pain in a way that meets each individual's needs.
