Randomized clinical trial shows flower therapy improves psycho-emotional states in nurses, indicating its potential benefits.
Objective: To evaluate the perceived effect of Bach flower therapy on the psycho-emotional states of nursing professionals in primary health care. Method: Randomized clinical trial conducted with 75 nursing professionals in the cities of Osasco and São Paulo, SP, Brazil, from October 2021 to June 2022. The intervention group received the standardized flower formula, and the placebo group received an inert diluent. The data were collected through free word evocation and analyzed using prototypical analysis. Results: The terms most frequently mentioned before the intervention in both groups remained core elements after the intervention. Ultimately, the placebo group had a higher total number of categories than the intervention group. Conclusion: The intervention group showed an improvement in their psycho-emotional state. Evocation and prototypical analysis can be used as auxiliary tools in assessing the effect of integrative practices in clinical trials.
