  1. Guided Imagery By: Margaret Gerulski, Diane Kumar, & Brea Yang Ferris State University Fall 2011 (google.com, n.d.)

  2. Introduction What is the impact of guided imagery as a nursing intervention in the management of acute and chronic pain? (google.com, n.d.)

  3. Definition • “Guided imagery is a technique that utilizes stories or narratives to influence the images and patterns that the mind creates” (Hart, 2008, p. 295). • “Thought process that invokes and uses the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, movement, position, and touch” (Young & Koopsen, 2011, p. 76). (google.com, n.d.)

  4. Background • Used in ancient times • Cultural and religious uses • Variety of uses • Mind / Body connection (google.com, n.d.) “Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional” --Hindu Spiritual-- (Bresler, 2010)

  5. Effects of Guided Imagery on Outcomes of Pain, Functional Status, and Self-efficacy in Persons Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (Menzies, Taylor, and Bourguignon, 2006) • Objective: Effects of on pain levels, functional status, and self-efficacy in persons with fibromyalgia (FM) with Guided Imagery. • Method: Randomized Control Clinical Trial • Participants: 48 people were recruited from physicians’ offices &clinics in the University of Virginia Health System. • Intervention: 3 guided imagery audiotapes with average of 20 minute per audiotape for 2 weeks each • Measures: Pain, functional status, and self-efficacy • Outcomes: Improvement on functional status and self-efficacy, but not change in pain levels

  6. Purpose: determine how verbal descriptions pain changed after guided imagery Method: Mixed method, concurrent nested design, and use of verbal pain descriptors Participants: Computer randomized selection Interventions: Use of a guided imagery tape was used over a 4 day period Measures: 102 pain descriptors Outcomes: Improved pain verbal pain descriptions in the treatment group. Changes in the Meaning of Pain with the use of Guided Imagery (Lewandowski, Good, & Draucker, 2005)

  7. Guided Imagery as a Therapeutic Recreation Modality to Reduce Pain (Bonadies, V., 2010) • Purpose: Impact of guided imagery on chronic pain • Method: Use of visual analog scale • Participants: 1 participant at a 206 bed residential health care facility • Interventions: Guided imagery using a pain intensity scale • Measures: Verbalization of client of pain levels • Outcomes: Improved level of pain

  8. What is the impact of guided imagery as a nursing intervention in the management of pain and chronic pain? • Nursing Responsibility • Use in Chronic and Acute Pain • Use in Childbirth • Part of Holistic Nursing • Evidence-Based Nursing intervention (google.com, n.d.)

  9. Limitations in Research • Practicing imagery 15-20 minute daily will increase the success, therefore can be seen as a time consuming activity. • Limited time frames to evaluate effectiveness. • Research studies on alternative therapies is limited. • More studies on chronic pain than acute pain. • “Limitations of these studies were small sample size, lack of randomization, non-equality of treatment and control groups, and lack of control for opioid intake and imagery ability” (Lewandowski, et al., 2005) • Pain is subjective

  10. Limitations for use of Guided Imagery in Practice • Short hospital stays • Limited nursing time • Lack of education of nursing staff • For optimal effectiveness • Clients and families need to have knowledge • Willingness to participate • Continual practice
