The purpose of this study was to determine whether aromatherapy massages with manual lymph drainage (MLD) are significantly more effective than sham massages with MLD in reducing edematous limb volume in lymphedema. This study was performed on 46 patients who had developed unilateral upper or lower lymphedema. Twenty-three patients served as the experimental group and were treated with complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) applications including aroma massages with MLD, multi layered compression bandages, remedial exercises and skin care. Twenty-three patients in the control group were treated with CDP applications including sham massages with MLD, bandages, exercises and skin care. Patients undergo a therapy program once a day; 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Percentage excess volume (PEV) and body mass index (BMI) were recorded before and after treatment. PEV and BMI were significantly decreased before and after treatment in the experimental as well as in the control groups (p<.05). However, the percentage excess volume and BMI were not significantly improved after treatment between the two groups (p>.05). This study there suggests that aroma massages is not effective in the edema of patients with lymphedema.

아로마요법의 스트레스 및 수면장애 감소 효과를 평가하기 위하여 경주시보건소 보완대체의학센타에서 1999년 7월부터 2000년 2월까지 매주 2회씩 1회 2시간씩 총 1개월 동안 아로마요법을 받은 48명을 대상으로 요법 실시 전후 통일한 양식의 설문지를 이용하여 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 아로마요법 시행 전후의 스트레스 점수와 수면장애 점수를 비교한 결과, 스트레스 점수는 시행 전 $92.5{\pm}17.5$점에서 시행 후 $87.4{\pm}14.2$점으로 유의하게 감소하였으며(p<0.01), 수면장애 점수는 시행 전 $2.5{\pm}1.2$점에서 시행 후 $1.0{\pm}1.1$점으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 스트레스 점수는 연령별로는 40대 이상이 39세 이하보다, 종교가 있는 사람이 없는 사람보다, 직업이 없는 사람이 있는 사람보다, 주관적 경제상태는 '중'인 경우가 '상'과 '하'인 경우보다, 주관적 성격은 중간형 성격 소유자가 내성적 성격 소유자와 외향적 성격 소유자보다 시행 후 유의하게 감소하였다. 수면장애 점수는 연령, 교육 수준, 종교 유무, 직업유무, 주관적 경제상태, 주관적 성격, 만성질환 유무에 관계없이 시행 전보다 시행 후 모두 유의하게 감소하였다. 스트레스와 수면장애 정도가 심한 사람에게서 아로마요법으로 인한 스트레스와 수면장애 감소효과가 더욱 크게 나타났다. 따라서 적절한 방법이 아로마요법을 사용하면 스트레스와 수면장애를 효과적으로 해소시킬 수 있을 것으로 본다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aroma therapy and foot reflex massage on stress, depression, and sleep pattern of institutionalized elderly. The design of this study was non-equivalent control group pre-posttest design. The data were collected from February 24 to April 9 of 2005. Fifty-one elderly were divided into two groups, 26 institutionalized elderly for the experimental group and 25 institutionalized elderly for the control group. The experimental group underwent aromatherapy and foot reflex massage two days per week(40 minutes per session} over five weeks period. Stress(subjective stress and serum cortisol level), depression, and sleep pattern were assessed in both groups before and after intervention. Five weeks after intervention were spended, the experimental group was again assessed. Five weeks without intervention were spended, the control group was again assessed. The data were analyzed by the statistical program SPSS WIN 12. The results of this study were as follows; $\cdot$ Stress of the experimental group with the intervention was significantly lower than that of the control group. $\cdot$ Depression of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group. $\cdot$ Sleep pattern of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. In conclusion, the aroma therapy and foot reflex massage program had positive effect on Institutionalized elderly's on stress(subjective stress and serum cortisol level), depression, and sleep pattern.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of aromatherapy, showing how the composition handling of aromatherapy and abdominal massage treatment reaches body ingredient transformation. The subjects for this research were total 18 middle-aged females in Seoul; aroma massage group of 7 females, aroma inhalation and water bathe group of 5 females, abdominal massage group of 6 females by jojoba oil without any medical effect. This clinic trial was held from July 1, 2008 to Aug.14, 2008. I held this clinic trial under the same condition after and before this clinic. A standard tape and OLYMPIA 3.5 of S hospital were used at the body measuring for subjects after and before clinic trials. I got Average and standard deviation by data analysis by SPSS Win. Ver.14.0. I did paired t-test for the comparison of before and after, and repeated measure ANOVA for between two groups or among three groups'. The verification was held Duncan Test. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Body mass quotient (F=2.86, p= .063) and Body region (F=1.34, p= .279) among three groups showed no meaningful difference, but weight meaningful difference and aroma massage group showed the greatest difference of body measure change quantity. 2. In change quantity of abdomen girth, Waist circumference and WHR, abdomen girth (F=4.56, p= .012) and Waist circumference (F=4.37, p= .031) showed a meaningful statistical difference. The result of subsequent inspection showed that there was a meaningful difference among three groups and aroma massage group was best. 3. In Cell quantity, Body region quantity and Muscle volume, Body region quantity (F=2.76, p= .182) and Muscle volume (F=3.12, p= .054) showed no difference, but Cell quantity (F=3.79, p= .040) showed a meaningful difference. In the comparison of three groups there was no difference, but aromatherapy group showed more change quantity than any other group. According to the result of this study, the composition handling of aromatherapy and body massage was effective in the decrease of Abdominal fatness and Waist circumference, Weight and the increase of Cell quantity. so I suggest that woman use this therapy in the program of obesity management for her health improvement.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 향기요법이 스트레스에 미치는 효과에 대하여 메타분석 방법을 이용하여 연구결과의 정도를 종합, 분석하기 위함이다. 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2008년 2월까지 이루어진 연구를 대상으로 하여 국내 학위논문과 주요 학술지를 중심으로 추출하였으며, 향기요법이 스트레스에 미치는 효과를 연구한 45편의 논문 중 분석대상 기준에 적합한 논문 21편을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료분석은 통계프로그램인 SAS 9.1/PC을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 최종 선정된 21편의 연구물로부터 58개의 효과 크기가 산출되었으며, 58개의 효과크기를 바탕으로 전체 효과, 종속변수의 지표별 효과, 연구대상 및 중재 방법에 대한 효과, 중재시간에 따른 효과를 산출하였다. 향기요법이 스트레스에 미치는 전체 효과크기는 .593으로 보통 효과크기로 나타났다. 스트레스의 지표별 효과 크기는 생리적 지표에서 보다 심리적 지표에서 훨씬 큰효과를 보였으며, 심리적 스트레스에서는 주관적 스트레스에 효과가 가장 컸고($\bar{d}$=.983), 생리적 스트레스에서는 코티졸($\bar{d}$=.648)과 맥박($\bar{d}$=.515)에서는 중간정도의 효과크기가 나타났으나, 수축기 혈압($\bar{d}$=.490)과 이완기혈압($\bar{d}$=.401), 에피네피린($\bar{d}$=.334)에서는 중재효과가 작은 것으로 나타났다. 대상자별 효과에서는 노인집단에서 .706으로 가장 큰 효과를 나타내었고, 암환자($\bar{d}$=.337)에게 가장 작은 효과로 나타나 집단간 유의한 차를 보였다(F=2.271, P=.043). 중재방법에 대해서는 향기요법과 마사지요법을 병행한 경우($\bar{d}$=.590) 가장 큰 효과로 나타났으나 중재시간별 효과크기의 차는 없었다 (F=.495, P=.687). 중재시간에 대해서는 $20{\sim}30#분의 중재를 한 경우 .730으로 가장 높게 나타났으나, 역시 통계적 유의한 차는 없었고, 중재 회기 수와 효과크기와의 상관관계는 r=.349로 나타나 통계적으로 유의한 차를 보였다(P=.007). 결론: 본 연구 결과 향기요법은 대상자의 스트레스를 감소시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으므로 향기요법을 이용한 간호중재 프로토콜의 개발과 그 실제 적용이 요구된다할 수 있겠으며, 프로토콜 개발 시 대상자의 특성과 중재 시간이 고려되어야 하겠다.

Purposes: This experimental study was designed to verify the effect of inhalation of essential oils on body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin. Methods: The subjects of this study were 90 growing SD rats(46 males and 44 females). They were allocated into one of four groups, the Fennel group, Patchouli group, Bergamot group and control group. The experimental treatment was the inhalation of aromatherapy essential oils which was applied two times a day for 10 minutes each during 8 weeks. To evaluate the effects, body weight, feed intake, food efficiency rate and serum leptin were measured before and after the treatment. The collected data was analyzed by repeated measures of Kolmogorov-smirnov test and Normal Q-Q plot for nomality, Kruskal Wallis test and $X^2-test$ for experimental effects with the SPSS program. Results: The food efficiency rate was significantly lower in the Patchouli group and Fennel group than in the Bergamot group and control group(P=.000). No significant group effects were found for SD rat's body weight, feeding amount and serum leptin. Conclusion: In conclusion, these findings indicate that the inhalation of essential oils could be effective in lowering the food efficiency rate rather than the feed intake.
