Study on Synchronization of the Heart in a Nursing Art

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2016:225:917-8.

Abstract

Compared to rookie nurses, it is often said that a skilled nurse's injection is less degree of pain. The authors believe that the reason why the pain is reduced is because skilled nurses can make themselves relaxed and synchronize their state to the patients. So, if we can make people relaxed and synchronized intentionally by giving artificial stimulation, the technique will be so valuable not only in the inheritance of injection skills but also in various medical situations including the care of aged, nursing of infant and so on. In this paper, we focused on the synchronization of brain waves, and examined the method of inducing the relaxed state and the synchronization in brain waves of subjects by giving a vibratory stimulation.
