Purpose: The effects of aroma massage on pain, activities of daily living, and fatigue were investigated in the patients who have knee osteoarthritis. Method: A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest measures was used. Twenty one and twenty subjects were included in control and experimental group, respectively. Subjects in experimental group had aroma massage which used lavender, chamomile, and ginger oil on painful knee. They were encouraged to implement aroma massage at least two times a day for 2 weeks. Subjects in the control group had conventional oil massage implementing by exactly same method as did in the experimental group. GRS(graphic rating scale), Korean version of WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster) osteoarthritis index, and MAF(multidimensional assessment of fatigue) were used to measure the outcome variables such as pain, activities of daily living and fatigue, respectively. Results: After 2 weeks, those in the experimental group reported significantly less pain and fatigue and better activities of daily living than those in the control group. Conclusion: Based on these results, aroma massage could be recommended as a self managed intervention for the patients with knee osteoarthritis.

본 연구는 아로마 요법이 임상실습을 하는 간호대학생의 스트레스, 스트레스 지각과 기분에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 진행되었다. E대학교 간호학과 3학년을 대상으로 실험군 22명, 대조군 19명의 자료를 분석 하였다. 임상실습을 하는 1주일 동안 실험군은 하루 8시간 동안 라벤더향 아로마 목걸이를 착용하고, 대조군은 호손효과를 막기 위해 식염수 목걸이를 착용하였다. 실습을 시작하기 전, 후에 대상자들이 가지고 있는 스트레스를 알아보기 위해서 수치평정척도와 스트레스지각척도를 이용하여 측정하고, 기분의 변화도를 알아보기 위해서 수치평정척도를 이용하여 측정하여 그 차이를 비교하였다. 모든 자료의 분석은 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 카이제곱, Fisher's Exact Test, Mann whitney U 검정으로 분석하였고 도구의 내적 신뢰도는 Cronbach's alpha로 분석하였다. 그 결과 간호대학생의 임상실습에 대한 스트레스는 중등도 수준이었다. 아로마 요법 적용 한 실험군이 대조군보다 스트레스는 낮아지고 기분이 긍정적으로 변화되는 것으로 나타났으나 스트레스 지각척도는 실험군과 대조군 사이 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여, 임상실습 중 간호대학생의 스트레스를 낮추고 기분을 향상시키기 위한 아로마 중재프로그램 개발이 필요하겠다.

본 연구의 목적은 정유에 함유되어 있는 살초활성물질을 탐색하여 제초제 개발을 위한 선도 화합물을 발굴하는데 있었다. Amyris(Amyris balsamifera), cajuput (Melaleuca cajeputi), geranium(Pelargonium graveolens), lavender(Lavendula spp.), mandarin(Citrus reticulata), pine(Pinus spp.) 및 rosemary(Rosmarius officinale) 정유에 대한 살초력을 유채(Brassica napus)를 대상으로 in vitro에서 수행한 결과, cajuput 정유의 살초력이 가장 높았다($GR_{50}$ 값, $425{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$). Cajuput 정유에 함유되어 있는 주된 생리활성물질들은 eucalyptol 37,2%, ${\alpha}$-terpineol 11.6%, benzaldehyde 5.2%, linalool 4.1%, ${\alpha}$-pinene 2.5%, ${\beta}$-pinene 2.4%이었으며, 이들 생리활성물질의 살초력($GR_{50}$ 값)은 각각 2,731, 500, 50, 372, 4,363, $4,671{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$이었다. Benzaldehyde의 살초력은 기 보고된 eucalyptol (1,8-cineole)과 ${\alpha}$-pinene보다 높았으므로 향후 새로운 제초제 개발을 위한 선도화합물로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. Cajuput 정유와 이에 함유되어 있는 가장 높은 살초력을 보였던 benzaldehyde를 80kg $ha^{-1}$ 토양처리하였을 때에는 그 어떠한 살초효과도 관찰할 수 없었으나, 경엽처리 하였을 때에는 화본과 잡초인 수수, 돌피, 바랭이는 100% 고사되었다. 그러나 살초효과는 20kg $ha^{-1}$ 이하에서는 전혀 나타나지 않았는데 이는 cajuput 정유와 benzaldehyde의 높은 휘발성 때문인 것으로 추론된다. 본 연구의 결과 cajuput 정유의 살초효과는 높은 약량에서만 나타났으므로 약량저감을 위한 처리시기 재설정과 살초력을 높일 수 있는 제형개발이 요구된다.

본 연구는 화상 시뮬레이터 상에서 고속 주행(160km/h)으로 긴장감을 유발시킨 후, 향이 긴장감의 증감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 향은 100%의 Jasmineabs, Lavender oil france(KIMEX co. Ltd)이다. 10명의 신체 건강한 피험자를 대상으로 하여 Simulator sickness와 생리 반응을 측정하였다. 측정된 생리 신호는 심전도, 피부온도, 피부저항, 맥파와 같은 자율신경계 반응을 측정하였다. 또한 Simulator Sickness가 실험에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 고속 주행 시 향을 제시하지 않았을 때보다 2가지 향을 제시하였을 때 긴장감이 모두 이완되는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 고속 주행으로 유발되는 신체의 긴장감이 향 자극으로 인해 감소된다는 사실을 자율신경계의 반응을 통해 관찰할 수 있었다.
