There is a wide range of complementary therapies that people used to maintain positive mental, physical health and well being which include yoga, taichi, relaxation and therapeutic massage. One of the most commonly used complementary and alternative medicine is massage therapy. It is used for a wide range of health- related reason- to treat various symptoms and conditions for prevention and health maintenance. Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage therapist typically use their hands and fingers for massage. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. The different types of massage are Swedish massage, deep massage, sports massage, trigger point massage, aroma therapy massage and hot stone massage. Massage is generally considered as a part of complementary and alternative medicine. Massage act as a natural bio-feedback mechanism. With regular massage, the body learn how to return to the rest and digest state with more ease. The human body actually learn to deal better with stress on a physiological level. The physiological effects of massage therapy include in the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, nervous system, skin, and respiratory system. Gate control theory suggests that massage may provide stimulation that helps to block pain signals sent to the brain. The other theories suggest that massage might stimulate the release of certain chemical in the body and cause beneficial effect in the body. Thus, massage therapy can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic illness or conditions.Keywords

This present study was done to determine the contributing factors for ICU stress and to assess the level of stress among patients admitted in ICU. A descriptive design was adopted. A total of 100 clients admitted in ICU were selected by using purposive sampling technique. Contributing factors for ICU stress was assessed by modified Environmental Stressor Questionnaire (ESQ) and level of stress was assessed by modified stress scale. Environmental stressor questionnaire items were given scoring as per the response for each item, the mean % is worked out (actual score / maximum possible score) x 100. Modified stress scale was scaled as low level stress (0-33%) moderate level stress (34%-67%) & high level stress (68%-100%). The research findings revealed that the top mean score of stressors were observing treatment that are administered to other patients (98.75%), not knowing exactly where they are (98.25%), not knowing what is the time (97.25%), and listening to the ringing of telephone (94.75%), missing the spouse (or) partner (94.50%) etc. With regards to level of stress 54(54%) samples had high level stress, 36(36%) samples had moderate level of stress & 10(10%) samples had low level stress.Keywords
