The Effect of an Educational Intervention on Willingness to Receive Therapeutic Touch

Regina C. Lowry, M.S.N., R.N.

University of Kentucky

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to test the effect of an educational intervention on participants’ willingness to receive Therapeutic Touch (TT). A sample of 108 participants was recruited from three area nursing programs and one professional business women’s group. Participants completed questionnaires before and after a 10-minute talk on TT and a 5-minute demonstration of TT. Participants were asked to rank their willingness to experience a TT treatment and to explain the reasons for their rankings. The hypothesis that the intervention would increase participants’willingness to experience TT was supported; there was a significant difference in pre- and postintervention willingness to experience TT.
