Background:Angiographyisthegoldstandardtestforthediagnosisofcoronaryarterydisease;however,morethan82% ofpatients have stress and anxiety before they undergo angiography, which significantly effects the diagnostic results. One of the common complicationsoftheangiographymethodthroughtheradialarteryistheoccurrenceofarterialspasmthatisseenmoreinpatients withsevereanxiety. ThecurrentresearchersbelievethatusingBensonrelaxationiseffectiveinreducingthepatient’sanxiety. Objectives: ThisstudywasdesignedtoevaluatetheBensonrelaxationmethodinpatientsundergoingradialangiography. Methods:Thisstudywasaclinicaltrial,whichwasperformedon60candidatepatientsundergoingcoronaryangiographybyradial methodatBaqiyatallahHospitalduringyear2017(N=60). Thesampleswererandomlyallocatedtotwogroups, interventionand control. The information gathering tools were demographic questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and hemodynamic variableschecklist. DataanalysiswasdonewiththeSPPSSV16softwareusingKolmogorov-Smirnovtest,Mann-Whitneytest,and paired-ttest. Results: The results showed a significant difference between the anxiety of the patients before and after the intervention in each group(P< 0.05). Thecomparisonof thetwogroupswiththepaired-ttestwasnotstatisticallysignificant. Theanxietyof patients aftertheinterventionwasdecreased,yetthisdecreasewasnotstatisticallysignificant. Conclusions: Benson’s relaxation method can be effective in reducing anxiety in angiography candidate patients. Accordingly, it mayalsobeeffectiveinreducingtheoccurrenceof radialarteryspasm.
