간호사가 사용하는 중재로서 관심을 표현하는 방법이며 의사소통의 통로인 접촉의 한 형태로서의 마사지가 이완과 안녕감을 증진시킬 수 있는지를 알아보기 위해 간편하면서도 장소에 거의 구애를 받지 않는 손마사지를 미국 미네소타주에 살고 있는 22명의 한국 이민노인에게 시행하였다. 자료수집 기간은 1992년 12월부터 1993년 6월까지 약 6개월이 소요되었다. 편의표출방법으로 대상자를 선정한 원시실험연구설계로, 독립 변수로 손마사지를 사용하였고 이완행동, 수축기혈압, 이완기 혈압, 맥박수로 측정한 이완의 정도와 안녕감을 종속변수로 사용하였다. 손마사지는 Snyder등이 개발한 방법으로 한 손에 2분 30초씩 5분이 소요되는데 이틀에 한번씩 6회 실시하였다. 안녕 감을 측정하는 Cantril ladder는 10개의 사다리로 된 도구로 첫번 마사지전, 세번째 마사지후, 그리고 여섯번째 마사지후에 대상자로 하여금 직접 사다리 점수를 매기도록 하였다. Luiselli등이 개발한 이완행동 측정도구로 각 마사지 전후에 대상자의 이완정도를 관찰하였고, 마사지 전후에 혈압과 맥박수를 측정하였다. 자료는 paired t-test와 ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA로 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 1-6회 동안의 마사지전의 이완점수의 평균값과 1-6회 동안의 마사지후의 이완점수의 평균값을 비교한 결과 마사지후에 이완의 정도가 유의하게 증가하였고 (t=10.70, p=.000), repeated measures ANOVA로 검증한 시간에 따른 효과도 유의한 차이를 보였다. 2. 1-6회 동안의 마사지전의 수축기 혈압의 평균값과 1-6회 동안의 마사지후의 수축기 혈압의 평균값을 비교한 결과 마사지후에 수축기 혈압이 유의하게 저하되었 다(t=6.09, p=.000). 3. 1-6회 동안의 마사지전의 이완기 혈압의 평균값과 1-6회 동안의 마사지후의 이완기 혈압의 평균값을 비교한 결과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(t=.27, p=.793). 4. 1-6회 동안의 마사지전의 맥박수의 평균값과 1-6회 동안의 마사지후의 맥박수의 평균값을 비교한 결과 마사지후의 맥박수가 유의하게 감소하였다. (t=4.45, p=.001). 5. Cantril 안녕감의 점수는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(F=2.42, p=1.01)

This study aims to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program on the cognition, anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior of elderly with dementia. The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasi-experimental study where 43 subjects were divided into two groups. Aromatherapy and foot reflex massage was administered to the experimental group (N=21), and no treatment was administered to the control group (N=22). The data was analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, while the repeated measures of ANOVA were utilized with the SPSS/Win 18.0 program. The experimental group did not show significant differences in cognitive function; however, it showed significant differences in anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior in relation to the control group. Thus this research suggests aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program as nursing intervention to improve the quality of life of elderly with dementia.

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.

The purpose of this study was to understand and analyze the subjective structure of attitude, opinion of infant and todder's mother, regarding the massage intervention in order to yield fundamental data for the activation scheme of the massage intervention. This research was based on a Q-Methodological approach. According to the results of this study, there were four categories of mothers' opinion about the massage intervention. The first type accepts the wholistic effect of massage intervention very positively that it improves infant's health in various aspects: prevention of diseases, promotion of the growth, settlement of sentiments, etc. The second type describes the effect of the intervention in the emotional aspect, such that the intimacy plays a very significant role in the intervention. The third type explains the complementary effect of the intervention that it eases symptoms rather than actually cures diseases. The fourth type emphasizes the healing effect of the intervention that it is required to go through professional training to utilize the effect. For example, a Kyongrak massage is very effective for curing diseases. In consideration of various types of massage intervention, it is very necessary to have a specialty for the massage intervention and develop unique mothers education programs depending upon different applications of the massage intervention in order to reorganize and activate the massage intervention as a nursing intervention for infant and toddlers.
