The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Self-foot Reflex Massage (SRM) programme on the physical condition and anxiety level of hypertension workers. The research was designed in the pre and post-test. Sample test was done in five workers with essential hypertension. They were divided in two groups:- Group A and Group B. The Self-foot Reflex Massage (SRM) was applied three times a week for Group A and five times a week for Group B. The SRM was given in 40 minutes each time for 4 weeks from the 1st of January to the 30th of April in 2001. In order to evaluate the effect on SRM. blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were measured as physical parameters and state trait anxiety inventory was used twice each time between before and after the exercise. The collected data was analysed by Mann-Whitney test with SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. Average age for the subjects were 39.8 (ranged from thirty-two to fifty-three) and average period of hypertension history was 42 months (ranged from twenty to eighty-four). 2. There was no significant difference between two examined groups in blood pressure. But, there was a significant difference in SRM of pre and post-test for two groups. 3. There was no significant difference in blood cholesterol between two groups and between pre and post-test. 4. State trait anxiety showed significant difference between pre and post-test except the results between two groups. This result suggests that SRM is effective on the decrease of systolic and diastolic pressure and the relief of state trait anxiety except for the blood cholesterol. Therefore, blood cholesterol is needed further evaluation in large subjects and longer period. Further research is regarded as necessary to evaluate and to compare the precise effects of SRM on the foot reflex massage (FRM) in anxiety.

본 연구는 발 반사마사지를 받는 이용자들의 발 반사요법에 대한 인식수준을 알아보고 그에 관련된 요인을 규명하고자 2011년 09월 01일부터 10월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 대전지역에 소재하고 있는 전문 발 관리실 3곳의 이용자 181명을 대상으로 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 전체 조사대상자의 발 반사마사지요법 인식수준에 대한 평균점수는 $32.19{\pm}5.32$점(11개 항목의 점수범위; 0-44점)으로 나타났으며, 일반적 특성별 발 반사마사지요법 인식수준은 학력이 높을수록 유의하게 높았다(p=0.020). 조사대상자의 발 반사마사지 요법에 대한 태도 및 실천도에 따른 발 반사마사지요법 인식수준은 "질병치유를 위해서 한다"는 군에서(p=0.034), 발 반사마사지 시작 시 "질병이 있었다"는 군에서(p=0.030). 발 마사지 이용기간이 길수록(p=0.000), 발 반사마사지를 타인에게 "권유 하겠다"는 군에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.004). 다중회귀분석 결과 발 반사마사지요법 인식수준에 영향을 미치는 관련요인으로는 발 반사마사지 이용 이유, 발 반사마사지 시작 시 건강상태, 발 반사마사지 이용기간 및 발 반사마사지의 타인에의 권유여부가 유의한 변수로 선정되었으며 이들 변수에 대한 설명력은 26.1%이었다. 위와 같은 결과를 볼 때, 전문 발 관리실 이용자들의 발 반사마사지요법 인식수준은 일반적 특성 변수들보다는 발 반사마사지에 대한 태도 및 실천도를 설명하는 변수들과 관련성이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of foot care education program using foot-reflexo-massage in diabetic patients. Method: A convenience sample of non-equivalent control group time series design was used. It provided foot care education to diabetic patients through small book for both group. For the experimental group, foot-reflexo-massage was taught by a researcher and research assistants. Analysis was done by Repeated Measured ANOVA. Result: There was significant increase in foot care knowledge, self care behavior, between the experimental group and the control group over three different times. There was significant in skin temperature and pulse of foot over three different times and interaction by groups or over time, but there was no significant difference between groups. There was no significant difference in blood flow volume and capillary filling time over three different times, between groups, but there was interaction by groups or over time. But there was significant difference in discrimination in change of dosalis pedis artery blood flow. Conclusion: Findings indicate that this study may contribute to develop nursing intervention for foot care of diabetic patients.
