Purpose : The stress of job-seeking college students is gradually worsening due to the continuing recession in the job market. Therefore, this study aims to verify whether intervention with an 'aromatherapy education program,' which combines theory and practice, has greater effect on stress, self-efficacy, and autonomic nervous system function than simple inhalation of essential oils in female college students preparing for employment. Methods : A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted once a week for a total of 4 weeks with 29 female college students preparing for employment. Interventions included essential oil inhalation combined with an aromatherapy education program (experimental group(EG), n=14) and essential oil inhalation alone (control group(CG), n=15); measurements were taken before, immediately after, and 2 weeks after completion of the intervention. Evaluations were conducted using the job-seeking stress scale, stress VAS, self-efficacy scale, and a pulse-wave measuring instrument. Results : There were significant differences between the CG and EG groups with repeated measurements of job-seeking stress (p=.003), cognitive stress (p<.001), and self-efficacy (p<.001). There was a significant interaction between group and time. There were also significant differences between the CG and EG in terms of autonomic nervous system changes stress index(p=.047), total power(p=.029), high frequency(p=.036), and low frequency/high frequency ratio(p=.049). However, there was no significant difference in low frequency between the groups. Conclusion : The aromatherapy education program was more effective in improving job-seeking stress, cognitive stress, self-efficacy, and autonomic nervous system function than simple essential oil inhalation. For the aromatherapy education program to be useful as a complementary intervention for stress management in job seekers, it will be necessary to gather additional evidence of its efficacy by conducting follow-up studies with diverse participants and expanding the numbers, and durations, of the interventions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of aromatherapy hand massage on the anxiety of gastroscopy clients. Method: The data were collected during the period from March 10 to May 20, 2004 at S-Hospital in Kyungi-Do. There were sixty subjects, 30 for the experimental and 30 for the control group. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, $X^2$-test and paired t-test with SPSS program. Result: The pulse rate was reduced significantly, but there were no significant differences in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure between two groups. The status anxiety of experimental group was lower than the control group, but there was no significant difference statistically. Conclusion: Aromatherapy could be useful in the nursing practice, and be utilized as a way of nursing intervention to reduce anxiety of the client in specific clinical situations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of aromatherapy hand massage on stress responses and serum Immunity of RN's before the night duty. Method: The data were collected during the period from Oct. 10 to Nov. 15, 2005 at S-Hospital in Seoul. There were forty-eight subjects, 24 for the experimental and 24 for the control group. A Pre & post test were conducted to measure pulse rate, perceived stress(level and score) and a blood sample for cortisol and IgA. In the experimental group, lavender and geranium were used. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $x^2$-test and t-test with SPSS program. Result: The pulse rate was reduced but there were no significant differences between the two groups. Scores of subjective stress(VAS) decreased significantly after aromatherapy hand massage and the level of serum Cortisol was reduced significantly. The level of serum IgA was elevated significantly. Conclusion: Aromatherapy hand massage could be a useful intervention to reduce stress and elevate the immunity of nurses during the night duty.

본 연구는 충청도에 소재한 H 대학의 보건계열학과 학생(528명)을 대상으로 보완대체의학과 아로마테라피에 대한 지식 및 태도분석하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구결과 보완대체의학의 치료법, 치료적 장점에는 긍정적 인식의 태도를 보였고 아로마테라피에 대한 치료적 효과에 대한 인식도 다소 높은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 아로마테라피 지식수준은 다소 낮은 결과를 보였다. 보건계열학과 학생들에게 있어서 보완대체의학에 대한 교육의 필요성에는 비교적 높은 인식을 보였으나, 아로마테라피는 상대적으로 낮은 인식을 보였다. 따라서 보건계열학과에서 환자 복지와 증상의 경감을 위해서 전문적 지식과 효율적 치료 적용을 위한 지식개발교육 및 다양한 치료법에 대한 임상 실습 프로그램개발 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

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.
