Illness and associated hospitalisation are stressful events for any individual. The stress associated with an admission to a coronary care unit may be related to the severity and acuteness of the illness, the effects of hospitalisation on the individual, their family, their job and financial position, and often manifests itself as anxiety, fear or depression. This paper highlights the use of anxiety reduction strategies such as muscle relaxation, music, education and counseling. The literature reviewed does not provide any clear messages regarding the effectiveness of these strategies in the coronary care unit setting. As a consequence, there is a need to continue researching this important area of nursing practice.
