Effect of a spa bath on patient symptoms in an acute palliative care setting: A pilot study.

CONCLUSION: The provision of a spa bath may be a simple and effective way to improve patients' quality of life, within the normal course of nursing duties. Whether these results are achieved in a controlled trial and the duration of these effects is unknown. These preliminary results justify further investigation of the potential for water-based relaxation therapy for patients at the end-of-life. PMID: 30057034 [PubMed - in process]
