Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the physical and psycho-social effects of self-foot reflexology on female college students wearing high heels. The research design used was the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A total of sixty-eight participants were assigned to the experimental group (n=35) or control group (n=33). Data were collected at baseline and after 6 weeks and 10 weeks. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA with the SPSS WIN 20.0 program. In the analysis of the physical effects of self-foot reflexology, there were significant interactions of group by time in terms of the lower extremity edema and fatigue (p<.05). In the analysis of the psycho-social effects of self-foot reflexology, there were significant interactions of group by time in terms of the perceived health status and self-efficacy (p<.05), except for health promoting behavior. Self-foot reflexology was effective in reducing lower extremity edema and fatigue and in improving the perceived health status and self-efficacy. Consequently, self-foot reflexology as a nursing intervention was found to be a method of providing female college students wearing high heels with physical and psycho-social relief.

본 연구는 하이힐을 착용하고 생활하는 여자대학생을 대상으로 자가 발반사 마사지를 수행하여 신체 및 심리사회적 효과를 파악하고자 시행된 비동등성 대조군 유사 실험연구이다. 대상자는 68명이 참가하였으며 자가 발반사 마사지를 실시한 실험군 35명과 실시하지 않은 대조군 33명으로 하였다. 자료 수집은 사전, 중재 후 6주, 10주에 이루어졌다. 수집된 자료는 SPSSWIN 20.0 program을 이용하여 서술통계, chi-square test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA로 분석하였다. 자가 발반사 마사지를 실시한 실험군은 실시하지 않은 대조군에 비해 하지부종(종아리 둘레와 발목 둘레)의 감소와 피로도 감소에 효과가 있었다. 또한 자가 발반사마사지를 실시한 실험군은 실시하지 않은 대조군에 비해 건강증진행위는 변화가 없었으나, 지각된 건강상태와 자기효능감이 향상되어 효과가 있었다. 자가 발반사 마사지는 하지부종과 피로도를 감소시키고, 지각된 건강상태와 자기효능감을 향상시키는데 효과가 있었다. 따라서 자가 발반사 마사지는 하이힐을 착용하는 여자대학생을 대상으로 신체적 증상 완화와 심리사회적 안위에 효과적인 간호중재임을 확인할 수 있었다.
