Abstract

INTRODUCTION. In the present investigation, the variables of hospitalization anxiety in patients with drug addiction and samurai fitness sports practice were studied to verify their correlation and effectiveness. OBJECTIVE. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of the practice of Samurai-Fitness on anxiety symptoms of drug addicted patients residing in rehabilitation centres. METHOD. This study was quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group type, pre-test-post-test. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used; It was applied to a sample of 79 inmates between 18 and 65 years old (50.6% men, 40.9% women) in rehabilitation clinics authorized by the Ministry of Health of Ecuador. RESULTS. The results were significant in the Hamilton Scale in the factors of insomnia, tension and fear, confirmed with the results in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. These scores were analysed using the Wilcoxon test and the hypothesis raised was verified. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. There is a positive correlation between the variables. It would be important to use a larger sample to determine the impact of the device and analyse its effectiveness in patients with the same clinical conditions.
