배경: 독일 크나이프 요법을 국내에서 적용하기 위해 검증 연구가 필요하다. 목적: 국내 산림 환경에서 적용한 크나이프 요법이 자율 신경계 및 회복탄력성에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위함이다. 방법: 크나이프 요법 중 4가지 요소('움직임', '삶의 질서', '음식 섭취', '치유 식물')를 고려한 중재 프로그램을 구성하여, 성인 40명을 대상으로 적용했다. 중재 전과 후에 맥파측정기(uBioMacpa)를 이용하여 HRV(TP, VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF, CSI: Cumulative Stress Index)와 회복탄력성 지수를 측정하고 비교 분석했다. 결과: HRV를 분석한 결과, 프로그램 중재 후 연구 대상자의 TP(8.64%, p<.001), VLF(6.96%, p<.05), LF(15.86%, p<.001), HF(8.46%, p<.01), LF/HF(5.77%, p<.05)는 유의하게 증가하였고, CSI는 유의하게 감소하였다(16.06% p<.001). KRQ-53 평균 점수는 191.56점에서 206.22점으로 14.66점 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 국내 산림 환경에서 적용한 크나이프 요법은 자율신경계를 전체적으로 활성화하고, 교감과 부교감신경의 활성도를 높여 심장 활동을 촉진시키며, 누적 스트레스를 감소시켜 주었다. 그리고 회복탄력성을 개선하는 것으로 나타났으며(p<.05), 특히 자기 조절 능력 요인에서 그 효과가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 크나이프 요법이 국내 산림 환경에서 치유 프로그램으로 활용되어 스트레스 해소를 포함한 자율 신경계의 긍정적인 효과를 제시한 초기적인 최초의 증거라 할 수 있다.

Background: A validation study is needed to make domestic applications of German Kneipp therapy. Purpose: The study aims to test the effect of a Kneipp therapeutic program in a domestic forest environment on the autonomic nervous system. Methods: The program was made considering the 4 key elements ('exercise', 'regulative therapy', 'nutrition', and 'phytotherapy') of the Kneipp therapy. Total 3 sessions (once a week for 5 hours in each session) were performed to 40 domestic adults divided into four groups (10 in each group). HRV was measured on the subjects before and after the intervention, and its 6 characteristic parameters (TP, VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF, CSI: Cumulative Stress Index) were compared for statistical analysis. Results: For 33 subjects excluding 7 who were disturbed by interrupt factors during measurements, significant improvements after the intervention, were observed in TP(8.64%, p < ..001), VLF(6.96%, p < .05), LF(15.86%, p < .001), HF(8.46%, p < .01), LF/HF(5.77%, p < .05) and CSI(-16.06%, p < ..001). Conclusions: The Kneipp therapy performed in the forest environment was shown to activate the autonomic nervous system and in particular the sympathetic and parasympatheric nervous to promote heart activity, and was also shown to most significantly reduce cumulative stress. The present observations would be the first preliminary evidence that the Kneipp therapeutic interventation in a domestic forest environment results in positive responses of the autonomic nervous system including stress relief.

Background: It is necessary to verify the resilience of the newly improved Kneipp psychotherapy. Purpose: This study assesses whether Kneipp Lebensordnung psychotherapy; KnLP program improves resilience. Methods: The KnLP program, including salutogenesis, logotherapy, meditation, and resilience training, is reorganized in consideration of Korean culture and sentiments. It was conducted 4 times for 25 adults (once a week, 3 hours a time), and data, KRQ-53 (Korean Resilience Quotient-53) measured intervention, before, and after was compared and analyzed. Results: The data for 9 adults were selected to draw reliable analysis, and it concluded that participants' KRQ-53 mean score increased by 14.66 from 191.56 to 206.22 during and after the program. The score increase by factor in resilience training is 5.89 points for self-regulation skills, 4.89 points for in interpersonal skills, and 3.89 points for positive capacity. Conclusions: KnL program improves participants' resilience skill (p<.05), and especially in self-regulation skill. Subsequent studies with more participants are required to achieve statistically significant and generalized results in the future.
