Generally, we take a bath to obtain a clean body as well as a good health. Human body generates various physical and emotional changes by stimulations of therapeutic effect of heat and hydraulic pressures. Accordingly, we can obtain not only relaxations but also effects of hydrotherapy. The survey of bathing/showering behaviors and therapeutic effect of heat reactions present elementary data for development of a bathing/showering system. However, there are few existing data for bathing/showering behaviors and effects. Consequently, surveys were performed to know patterns of bathing and showering, and relations between physiological changes and water temperature were examined by partial bathing on human body in this study.

본 연구에서는 단순 세정의 개념이 아닌 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 목욕 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 헬스케어 감성욕조를 디자인하기 위해 우선 타입별 특성을 고찰하였다. 이를 기반으로 복합감각 자극용 전신 욕조를 개발하였고, 이 전신욕조는 감성자극용 전신욕조 월풀, 시청각 감각 자극 기능이 구비된 욕조 커버, 제어용 소형 PC, 터치패널, DMB 패널, 시각 감성 증진을 위한 칼라 가변형 LED 무드 시스템과 스피커로 구성되어 있다. 제작된 복합감각 증진 개념의 헬스케어 욕조시스템의 특성을 고찰하기 위해서 목욕을 하는 동안 인체 자율신경계에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 목욕 상태에서의 심박변이율은 실험 중 교감신경에 비해 부교감신경이 계속 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 목욕을 시작한지 15분이 경과하면 교감신경이 증가하고 부교감신경이 감소하여, 피험자가 목욕을 한지 15분일 때 가장 편안한 상태를 느끼는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 목욕 실험 결과 전후의 혈압이 최고 16mmHg까지 떨어진 것으로 나타났으나 맥박은 증가하였다. 이것은 심장으로부터 혈액의 유출량이 많아져 혈류량이 증가하는 것으로 복합감각 증진용 헬스케어 욕조 시스템을 이용한 목욕이 혈액 순환에 긍정적인 영향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 가지고 복합감각 기능증진 헬스케어 목욕시스템의 사용성과 사용자의 생리분석을 통한 기초결과를 통해서 사용자의 생리변화를 분석함으로써 제품의 사용성과 사용자의 생리적 변화 및 감성 간의 관계를 보다 더 명확하게 밝혀낼 수 있으리라 기대한다.

As same time of starting on the Korean Long-term Care Insurance System, the government developed a program to train new qualification of long-term care workers. The number of enrolled long-term care workers are 950,000 persons in 2010. Mostly they are working in home based care work places such as home visit care centers and home visit bathing centers covered insurance. The purpose of this study is to understand the difference of task performance requirement according to long-term care workers' responsibilities which divided into home visiting care and home visiting bathing. The comparison analysis was conducted to task performance requirement in basic management, safety management, administration management, practical services. Key result was found that task performance requirement of long-term care workers whose responsibilities are home visiting care were more higher than the home visiting bathing. Finally, To improve quality of home visiting care and home visiting bathing, it is necessary to provide the fields based continuing education and reflect new reimburse system.

목적: 숲속의 산림욕은 인체의 스트레스 개선에 효과가 있는지를 연구하였다. 제주 삼다수 숲길을 2시간 동안 걸어서 산림욕을 한 후에 맥박과 스트레스 지수의 변화, 자율신경의 변화를 조사하는 것이었다. 방법: 연구는 산림욕 전후에 심장박동 변이와 설문을 통한 조사를 하였다. 결과: 산림욕 후 실험군의 평균 맥박은 유의하게 증가하였다. 스트레스 지수는 실험군에서는 사후에 유의하게 감소하였다. 누적 스트레스, 교감신경 활성(LF), 부교감신경 활성도(HF) 변화 및 LF/HF 비율은 실험군에서는 사후의 측정치의 차이는 있으나, 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다. 설문을 통한 직무 스트레스 평균 지수와 상태 특성 불안 지수의 조사에서는 사후에 유의하게 감소하였다(p<.001). 결론: 삼다수 산림욕이 맥박을 증진하고 스트레스를 감소하는 효과가 입증되어 산림욕이 건강증진에 효과적이라 평가한다.

Purpose: In this study changes were observed in body temperature, heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) of newborns after bathing and to determine the effects of covering their heads with cotton hats after bathing. Methods: Participants were 58 newborn infants, 31 in the experimental group had their heads covered with cotton hats after their bath while 27 in the control group did not. Body temperature, arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate were measured at 8 consecutive times after bathing. Data were analyzed using t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Body temperature declined shortly after bathing. The experimental group showed faster recovery (p<.001). Heart rate increased after bathing in both groups. Heart rate in the experimental group decreased for 120 minutes and gradually increased to baseline (p<.001). In the control group, heart rate decreased for 180 minutes and then increased but did not reach the baseline (p<.001). Arterial oxygen saturation decreased shortly after bathing and recovery to the baseline was more rapid in the experimental group (30 minutes vs. 60 minutes) (p<.001). Conclusion: With significant changes observed in newborns' body temperature, arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate, covering the head right after bathing is effective in stabilizing infants' physiological system.

We investigated the activities of autonomic nervous system during foot bathing. The effect of foot bathing was evaluated for four subjects by observing the characteristic of heart rate variability and bodily temperatures. The foot bathing was done with a commercial foot spa (Duches Co.) utilizing the four functional modes of the spa for two different temperatures of $35^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$. The four functional modes were clam, vibration, air bubbles, and both vibration and air bubbles. The experimental results showed that the temperature of foot and that of face right after foot bathing were not that different from each other. But, for heart rate variability, the activation of parasympathetic nerve showed distinctive increase at $40^{\circ}C$ of water temperature. In the analysis of heart rate variability for different functional modes, the change was not distinctive for different modes at $35^{\circ}$ of water temperature. However, at $40^{\circ}C$, the activation of sympathetic nerve showed distinctive increases with the increase in the complexity of functional modes.

본 연구는 고령자를 대상으로 마이크로 버블과 LED 조명을 이용하여 반신욕 시 인체의 변화를 평가하였다. 피험자는 남성 고령자 6명과 여성 고령자 7명을 대상으로 마이크로 버블을 이용하는 그룹(남성 3명, 여성 4명)과 마이크로 버블을 이용하지 않는 그룹(남성 3명, 여성 3명)으로 나누었다. 실험은 LED 조명의 색상을 달리하여 4회 진행하였다. 실험 결과 교감 신경에 비하여 부교감 신경의 활성화를 보였으며(마이크로 버블을 이용 한 반신욕 : 21.41%), 빨간색 조명과 마이크로 버블을 이용한 반신욕에서 $5.93^{\circ}C$로 체열의 가장 큰 증가를 보였다. 본 결과는 마이크로 버블과 LED 조명이 반신욕 시스템에 활용될 거라 사료된다.

This article is written on the ground that one of the major characteristics of Chinese New Period women's novels is about family dissolution and calling and it is examined based on analysis of "The Bathing Woman" by Tie Ning. In "The Bathing Woman", the family seems 'Regular' externally but it is actually fragmented internally. The author offers patriarchal perspective on 'Family' from the eyes of daughter of the family. The problems are classified into three categories. First, it is the problem of exclusiveness embedded in the essential characteristic of family represented by blood relation. Second, it is the research on the reason for family dissolution. Tie Ning finds the reason at 'Unmotherly mother, that is the lack of maternal instinct. Third, it is the expectation of the restoration of dissolved family. Tie Ning's indication of 'Family' is equal to 'Mother' and 'Mother' is the source and power that can heal and restore the dissolved family in her novel. It is expansion of maternal instinct represented by protection and caring into 'Practical action' and it is meaningful in a way that it expands the principle of maternal instinct and sublimates it into universal morality. However, it should not be overlooked that it could be another moral system that could suppress the females in other ways.

Analysis of behavior pattern and thermal response during bathing and showering provides important fundamental data when developing an automatic bathing/showering system. The behavior pattern and physiological changes during bathing/showering were measured und analyzed for the aged male group. We recorded the volunteers showering at front, back, left and right view using four CCTV cameras in order to study the behavior pattern during showering. The photographic data were analyzed by counting the frequencies of body contact and identifying zones where hands could reach. In order to study the thermal response, we measured the blood pressure (B.P), heart rate (H.R), body temperature (B.T.), breathing rate (B.R) for the different water temperatures and the locations of immersion for the young and old age groups. The results showed that the frequencies of body contacts were varied for different body sections. Also there were some body sections where hands could not be reached because of reduced pliability and muscular strength of the aged group. But we observed rather uniform body contact frequencies when a towel was used. In partial immersion bath experiments, we observed the changes of B.P. H.R and B.T in the case of young and old age groups, and the changes were more significant in the young age group.
