Nursing Experience of Improving a Case of Insomnia of Heart-Spleen Deficiency Type by Abdominal Massage Combined with Insomnia Massage
This article summarizes the nursing experience of treating a patient with insomnia of heart-spleen deficiency type by using abdominal massage combined with insomnia massage therapy. The key points of nursing include overall nursing assessment of traditional Chinese medicine, basic care, emotional regulation, and traditional Chinese medicine intervention (abdominal massage combined with insomnia massage therapy). The effects were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). After 28 days of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome-based care, the patient's insomnia symptoms and anxiety were significantly relieved. This article aims to explore the nursing effect of abdominal massage combined with insomnia massage therapy for patients with heart-spleen deficiency type insomnia, providing practical references for the traditional Chinese medicine nursing of patients with heart-spleen deficiency type insomnia in clinical practice.
