Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the application of elastic compression stocking during the stand for a long hours of works on edema and pain of lower extremities in ward nurses. Methods: The experimental group was subjected to elastic pressure tights for 5 days from the beginning to the end, and lower extremity edema and ankle and calf circumference were measured. Results: "There are significant differences in lower extremity pain the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported(p<.001). "There are significant differences in lower extremity edema the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported (p<.001). Conclusion: Applying elastic pressure stocking as a method of management of lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema in ward nurses, relieving symptoms related to lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema during work. This is an effective way to prevent problems and improve the health of nurses and provide quality nursing care.

본 연구는 탄력압박스타킹 적용이 장시간 서서 근무하는 병동간호사의 하지통증과 하지부종에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구설계는 비동등성 대조군 전후 설계를 이용한 유사실험 연구이며, 연구 대상자는 M시에 소재한 2개 종합병원에서 병동에 근무하는 간호사로 탄력압박스타킹을 적용한 실험군 35명, 대조군 30명으로 총 65명을 선정하였다. 결과는 제 1 가설 : "탄력압박스타킹을 적용한 실험군과 탄력압박스타킹을 적용하지 않은 대조군간 하지통증에 차이가 있을 것이다" 는 지지되었다(p<.001). 제 2 가설 : "탄력압박스타킹을 적용한 실험군과 탄력압박스타킹을 적용하지 않은 대조군간 하지부종에 차이가 있을 것이다" 는 지지되었다(p<.001). 결론은 병동간호사의 하지통증과 하지부종에 대한 관리의 한 방법으로 탄력압박스타킹을 적용하여 근무 중 탄력압박스타킹 적용이 하지통증과 하지부종에 관련된 증상을 완화하고, 하지 순환계의 건강문제를 예방하여 간호사의 건강을 증진시키고, 질적인 간호를 제공할 수 있도록 하는 효과적인 방법이 될 것으로 사료된다.
