Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the foot-reflexology massage on sleep, depression and constipation in community-dwelling elders. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted. Participants were 46 old adults, aged >65 years who were recruited from two senior welfare centers in D metropolitan city (experimental group=24, control group=22). The intervention was conducted in 10 sessions over 2 weeks, taking 20 min per session. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2-test$, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient with the SPSS 22.0 Windows program. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in sleep (t=-5.60, p<.001), depression (t=3.93, p<.001), and constipation (t=4.90, p<.001) after 2 weeks of the foot-reflexology massage. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the foot-reflexology massage is an effective intervention program for improving sleep, depression and constipation of old adults.

본 연구의 목적은 발-반사 마사지가 지역사회 재가노인의 수면, 우울 및 변비에 미치는 효과를 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구는 비동등성 대조군 전후설계 유사실험연구이다. 연구대상자는 D광역시 소재 2개 노인복지관을 이용하는 65세 이상 노인 46명이다(실험군=24명, 대조군=22명). 실험군은 2주간 1회 20분씩 주 5회, 총 10회의 발-반사 마사지에 참여하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, ${\chi}^2-test$, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient로 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 2주 후 발-반사 마사지에 참여한 실험군은 참여하지 않은 대조군에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 수면증진 (t=-5.60, p<.001), 우울감소(t=3.93, p<.001), 및 변비완화 (t=4.90, p<.001)효과가 나타났다. 따라서 발-반사 마사지는 재가노인의 수면증진과 우울 및 변비 감소에 효과적인 중재임이 확인되었다.
