Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of auricular acupressure with magnetic pellets on stress reduction after induced stress through a virtual reality and cognitive compression tasks for healthy college students. The control group (n=6) was to application auricular acupressure (sham), and the experimental group (n=8) was to application auricular acupressure with magnetic pellets. As a results, it was confirmed that the experimental group was more effective in regressing to baseline value (TO) than the control group in each measurement item (VAS, EEG, HRV). Therefore, auricular acupressure with magnetic pellets is considered to be an intervention method that can be applied easily and conveniently in various stress situations.

본 연구는 건강한 대학생을 대상으로 가상현실과 인지압박 과제를 통해 스트레스를 유발 후 magnetic pellets 이압자극 시 스트레스 감소에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대조군(n=6)은 이압자극 적용군(sham), 실험군(n=8)은 magnetic pellets 이압자극 적용군으로 하였다. 그 결과, 각 측정항목(시각 아날로그척도, 뇌파, 심박변이 변화)에서 대조군에 비해 실험군이 각 기준값(TO)으로 회귀하는데 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 magnetic pellets 이압자극은 여러 스트레스 상황에서 쉽고 간편하게 적용할 수 있는 중재방안이라고 생각된다.
