The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of abdominal massage, on abdominal bloating and the recovery of bowel movement after sleep colonoscopy. The study design is the time difference before and after the non-equality control. The subjects were 22 patients each in experimental group and control group who recieved sleep colonoscopy at the G hospital in C city, The data collection period was from June 1, 2018 to August 25, 2018, and the control group's data were first collected with time difference from the collection of experimental group's data to prevent the spread of the experiment. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 24.0 and tested by independent sample t-test, $x^2-test$ and Fisher's exact probability test to verify the homogeneity of general characteristics of the subjects. Shapiro-Wilk was used to verify the normality of the abdominal circumference changes in the experimental and control groups. Mann-Whitney U test was used to verify the pre-homogeneity of the abdominal circumference of the subjects. The experimental results were verified by Fisher's exact probability test, Friedman test and Mann-Whitney U test. These results suggest that the abdominal massage can be used as a nursing intervention after sleep colonoscopy by reducing the gas discharge time($x^2=19.75$, p<.001) and abdominal bloating($x^2=29.93$, p<.001).

Purpose: This research is to know whether aroma foot massage has influence on the relief of anxiety and pain during colonoscopy under conscious sedation. Method: This research was designed as a quasi-experiment of non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest. Data were collected from April 1 2005 to August 30 2005. The subjects were divided into three groups (control group, foot massage group and aroma foot massage group) with 30 persons each. Anxiety was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), blood pressure and pulse. Pain response was measured with VAS and non-verbal pain behavior score. Sleep satisfaction was measured with a graphic rating scale. Data were analyzed through Chi-square test, t-test and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: Systolic blood pressure, pulse, subjective anxiety and pain scores from the aroma foot massage group decreased significantly. Sleep satisfaction score of the aroma foot massage group increased significantly. Diastolic blood pressure from the aroma foot massage group did not decrease. Conclusion: The results show that aroma foot massage with refined oils can increase sleep satisfaction and decrease anxiety and pain during colonoscopy under conscious sedation.

The increasing regular medical check up rate for early diagnosis in disease has increasing sleep endoscopy rate because of reduction with discomfort. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of recovery bed as increasing sleep endoscopy rate using check up time, waiting time & recovery time at a general hospital in Seoul. This study was analyzed using ARENA 10.0 program. At present and as increasing of sleep endoscopy rate 10%, 20% was increased recovery time, waiting time & the rate of bed inflection. So at present, the number of recovery bed has to increase for client's safety and as increasing of sleep endoscopy rate 10%, 20% has to increase 3 and then waiting time decreased in 2 minutes.
