최근 늘어나고 있는 스트레스로 인한 피로와 심리적 장애로 인해 현대인들은 고통 받고 있다. 다수의 사람들이 고통을 완화시키기 위해 약물치료에 의존하고 있는 추세이며 대체의학이나 대체요법으로 치료하는 사람들도 많이 있다. 그러나 약물치료는 약물 복용 후 더 많은 스트레스를 겪는 등 여러 가지 부작용을 가지고 있다. 이에 비해 대체요법의 테라피분야, 마사지, 발반사요법 등은 비 약물치료로써 인체에 부담이 덜하며 편안한 심신을 유지하며 치료받을 수 있는 부분이다. 이에 본 저자는 컬러테라피요법과 발반사요법의 장점을 종합하여 고통이 없이 간단한 방법으로 치료효과를 볼 수 있는 컬러 발반사요법(color foot reflexology)을 전 연구에서 공동개발한 바 있다. 이를 본 논문에서는 자극시 효과에 플라시보 효과를 대조군으로 비교하여 인체생리신호측정반응을 평가하여 발 컬러 반사요법이 인체생리반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 정량적으로 연구하였다. 최적화된 실험환경과 객관화된 시스템에서 건강한 성인군을 대상으로 실험하였다. 그 결과 자극을 주었을 때는 HRV에서 부교감신경의 증가세가 나타났으며 혈압, 맥박, 체온 말초혈류량이 활발하게 작용하는 변화를 보였다. 그러나 플라시보에서는 거의 변화가 없거나 뷸규칙적인 결과가 나타났다. 이결과는 컬러 발반사요법이 자율신경계와 인체생리적반응에 긍정적인 영향에 관계됨을 알 수 있으며 이는 개발 기기의 유효성을 증명하는데 좋은 자료로써 충분한 근거이다. 그리고 이의 연구결과를 바탕으로 향 후 발과 관련하여 불규칙적인 생리현상에 의한 질병이나 질환에 관하여 특정군을 대상으로 실험 연구하여 객관적인 실험검증을 할 계획이다.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the effects of aroma self-foot reflexology massage on stress and immune responses and fatigue in middle-aged women in rural areas. Methods: The study was a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The participants were 52 middle-aged women from rural areas of which 26 were assigned to the experimental group and 26 to the control group. Data were collected from July to September, 2011 and analyzed using SPSS Win 17.0 version program. The intervention was conducted 3 times a week for six weeks. Results: There were significant differences in reported perceived stress, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fatigue between the two groups. However, the issue of salivary cortisol and immune response were not significant. Conclusion: Aroma self-foot reflexology massage can be utilized as an effective intervention for perceived stress, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fatigue in middle-aged woman in rural areas.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination program of meridian massage and foot reflexology on stress and natural killer (NK) cell activity in adults. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental research usingone-group-pretest-posttest design. The subjects of the study were 42 adults in T city. Stress level was assessed with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and serum cortisol level. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 17.0 program with descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The period of this study was from January 4 to July 11 of 2008. The program was performed three days per week, two hours per session. Results: The degrees of perceived stress were significantly different while objective stress levels were partially different between pre-and post-program. The NK cell activity did not show a significant difference between before and after the program. Conclusion: This study suggests that combination of meridian massage and foot reflexology may be an optional nursing intervention to reduce subjective and objective stress in adults.

암은 진단 시부터 불치병으로 인식되는 질환으로써 죽음에 대한 두려움을 갖게하며 신체적, 심리적, 사회적, 경제적, 영적, 안녕 상태를 저하시켜 삶 전체에 지대한 영향을 미치는 대표적인 질환으로 암으로 인한 사망률(인구 10만명당)은 144.4명으로 한국인 사망순위 1위를 차지하며 계속 증가추세에 있다(보건통계청, 2010) 본 연구의 목적은 아로마 오일을 이용한 발반사 마사지가 다양한 암환자의 수면과 통증에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위해 대체의학의 한 분야인 아로마요법과 발 반사 마사지를 요양중이거나 요양을 필요로 하는 암환자의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 케어에 접목하기 위한 것임을 밝힌다.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of Self-foot reflexology(SFR) on fatigue and sleep states in clinical women nurses. Method: This study was a nonequivalent pretest-posttest quasi-experimental. Women nurses were assigned to an experimental group (EG, n=20) or a control group (CG, n=20). The EG participated in SFR for a total of 40 minutes, 2 times per week during 4 weeks on their Rt & Lt feet. The CG did not receive SFR during the research period. The EG & CG had never before received SFR, and they had no open wounds or fractures. Data was analyzed using the $x^2$-test, and t-test by the SPSS version 12.0 program at a 5% significant level. Results: The score of fatigue in the EG was significantly lower than that of the CG and the score of sleep states in the EG was also significantly higher than that of the CG. Conclusion: The findings show that the score of fatigue decreased and sleep states increased in the study. Therefore, we should consider SFR as an intervention on clinical nurses. However, it is still needed to verify its effects through more intensive study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the improvement and maintenance effects of foot reflexology (FR) on sensations after breast cancer surgery with those of lavender foot bath (LFB). Methods: Using a single-blind design, both 18 women to receive 20-min FR by trained experts and 14 women to soak feet in $40^{\circ}C$ foot tub water with 5 drop lavender essential oil, 15-min were intervened every two days. Repeated measures were taken pre 1st-(baseline-4th op. day), pre 3rd-(2nd data), and pre 5th-intervention (3rd data) with following up at 1-week after 5th intervention (4th data). The reliable translated Korean version of Baron's Breast Sensation Assessment Scale was used to assess sensations after breast cancer surgery (SABCS) characterized by prevalence, frequency, severity, and distress. Results: A significant difference between baseline and the 3rd, and a decrease tendency from baseline to the 3rd were observed for the severity and distress in FR and for the prevalence and severity in LFB. A significant or important decrease tendency between the 3rd and the 4th were observed for the severity and distress in FR and for the severity in LFB. Conclusion: Iterative FR has the improvement and maintenance effects on the severity and distress while LFB has only those on the severity.

Purpose: This study was aimed to identify the effect of self-foot reflexology on the relief of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea in high school girls. Method: Study subjects was 236 women residing in the community, teachers and nurses who were older than 45 were recruited. Data was collected with self administered questionnaires from July 1st to August 31 st, 2003 and analysed using SPSS/WIN 10.0 with Xtest, t-test, and stepwise multiple logistic regression at a significant level of =.05. Result: The breast cancer screening rate was 57.2%, and repeat screening rate was 15.3%. With the multiple logistic regression analysis, factors associated with mammography screening were age and perceived barriers of action, and factors related to the repeat mammography screening were education level and other cancer screening experience. Conclusion: Based on the results, we recommend the development of an intervention program to decrease the perceived barrier of action, to regard mammography as an essential test in regular check-up, and to giveactive advertisement and education to the public to improve the rates of breast cancer screening and repeat screening.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aroma foot reflexology massage on mood states specifically depression and brain waves of elderly women with osteoarthritis. Methods: The study was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The participants were 62 elderly women with osteoarthritis. The instruments were the Korean-Profile of Mood States-Brief for mood states and 8-channel EEG (Electroencephalogram) system for brain waves. Data were collected from March to May, 2012. Twenty-six participants were assigned to the treatment group and twenty-six to the comparison group. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 17.0 version program, and included descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANCOVA. The intervention was conducted three times a week for two weeks. Results: There were significantly improvement in reported depression. s. Brain waves (EEG) increased significantly in F3, T3 of ${\alpha}$ wave and in F4, T3, and P4 of ${\beta}$ wave between the two groups. Conclusion: Aroma foot reflexology massage can be utilized as an effective intervention to decrease depression of mood states, increase of ${\alpha}$, and ${\beta}$ brain wave on woman elderly with osteoarthritis.
