Purpose: This study was done to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on vital signs, general fatigue, mood and foot fatigue in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: Data were collected from a convenience sample of 11 patients who were admitted at S and E University Hospital. Changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), pulse rate(PR), general fatigue, mood status, and foot fatigue between pre and post foot reflexology were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Friedman test at 0.05 level of significance. Results: There were significant differences in the SBP(p= .009), DBP(p=.014), PR(p=.015), general fatigue (p=.015) mood status(p=.007), and foot fatigue(p= .007) between pre and post foot reflexology. Conclusion: Foot reflexology can improve vital signs, general/foot fatigue and mood status, therefore we recommend to use foot reflexology as an effective nursing intervention in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

The principle purpose of this research is to figure out whether the inhalation of Wood Essential oil (Chamaecyparis obtusa) affect not only human beings' concentration for surroundings but also change as to status of feelings. total number of subjects for this experimental are determined to be 66 (men 44 and women 22) among 85 adults who agreed to participate in this experiment after excluding 19 participants who were not able to smell scent due to flu and nasal inflammation. After both experimental group and control group being measured referring to their status of mood such as concentration, depression, vigor, fatigue, confusion, tension and anger, the experimental group is offered to get a piece of cotton that includes Wood Essential oil and they are asked to inhale it for 5 min. On the other hand, control group is offered to wait for the experimental group finishing inhaling wood Essential oil for 5 min. After 5 min, the status of mood from both groups were measured again. simultaneously, I conducted a survey targeting experimental group to see what their preferences are like regarding scent of wood essential oil. The experiment shows that the status of experimental group's concentration is improved about 0.94 point when compared to control group's. Moreover, Total mood disturbance is lower than control group's. Therefore it is proved that the inhalation of wood Essential oil alleviates overall status of mood. according to the analyses result of favor to scent for wood essential oil from experimental group, some of them who were positive got much better improvement when it comes to concentration and far more relieved on their feelings than those who weren't. Based from this result, it is definitely confirmed that there is a Phytoncide's psychophysiological effect which transcends the Placebo Effect generated by Phytoncide's positive image.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence the functional status of chronic lung disease patients. Method: A descriptive, correlational study design was used. The study was conducted at the outpatient respiratory clinic of the large university hospital in Korea. A convenience sample of 128 chronic lung patients (age = 64.2 yrs; 106 COPD, 17 bronchiectasis, 5 DILD) with mean FEV1 64.4 % predicted. Functional status was measured with SIP. Physical variables (FEV1% predicted, dyspnea, fatigue, pulmonary symptom distress), psychological variables (mood, stress), and situational variable (sleep quality) were examined. Dyspnea was measured by the BDI, fatigue was measured with the MFI. Mood was measured with the modified Korean version of POMS. Sleep quality was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Potential independent variables for the regression were age, gender, years since diagnosis, FEV1% predicted, dyspnea, fatigue, pulmonary symptom distress, stress, and sleep quality. Result: In general, functional status was relatively good. In regression analysis, functional status were significantly influenced by dyspnea, mood, age and fatigue. These variables explained 70 % of the variances in functional status. Conclusion: The results suggest that psychophysiologic symptom management should be a focus to enhance the functional status in this group.

Objectives: With increased rate of chronic disease, concerns about preventive medicine has raised. Therefore questionnaire of subhealth status was developed and analysed in our previous study. A large number of chronic diseases is related to emotional issues. This study was to confirm a relationship between mood state and health status in terms of modern people's healthcare. Methods: Subhealth Questionnaire and Korean version of Profile of Mood States(k-POMS) were putted by 113 college students. And correlation and regression analysis was conducted. Results: Subhealth questionnaire and k-POMS proved a significant correlation. In particular, subhealth factor 3(mood) had a significant correlation with all factors of k-POMS. Subhealth factor 1(body), subhealth factor 2(life) and subhealth factor 6(society) had significant correlations with 5 factors of k-POMS. Subhealth factor 4(energy) and subhealth factor 5(heredity) did not show significant results. 'Fatigue' factor of k-POMS was proved to be the most important factor influencing the subhealth status and illness, indicating high correlations with all of subhealth status.

Background: Muscle mass and muscle function are related to depressed mood in studies of adults. Like adults, Korean students are highly likely to suffer from decreased muscle mass due to social conditions. In this study, we evaluated the muscle mass status of Korean adolescents and assess the effect of muscle on depressive mood. Methods: A total of 1,233 adolescent boys and girls participants from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled in our study. Participants underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for assessment of appendicular muscle mass and completed questionnaires regarding depressed mood, stress, suicidal ideations, and attempts. Results: There was no difference in depressive mood according to muscle mass among boys (P = 0.634); girls with decreased muscle mass had a greater tendency for depressed mood compared to girls with optimal muscle mass (P = 0.023). After adjusting for age, waist circumference-to-height ratio, smoking status, alcohol consumption, frequency of physical activity, self-reported obesity, weight-loss efforts, and monthly household income, girls with low muscle mass (LMM) were 2.60 times more at risk of developing depression than girls with normal muscle mass (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-6.49; P = 0.040). This trend was similar for girls with LMM with obesity (95% CI, 1.00-11.97; P = 0.049). Conclusion: Adolescent girls who have insufficient muscle mass are more likely to report depressed mood than girls who have ideal muscle mass. Interventions for maintaining proper muscle mass are required.

성인의 음주패턴과 우울경험의 관련성을 확인하고, 남녀 문제음주자의 우울경험 관련 요인을 파악하고자 실시되었다. 국민건강영양조사(2010-2013년)의 만 19세 이상 성인 19,878명의 자료를 사용하여 문제음주자의 우울경험 관련요인 파악을 위해 복합표본 로지스틱 회귀분석하였다. 남녀 모두 문제음주 수준이 높아질수록 우울경험의 위험이 증가하는 양 반응관계를 보였다. 남성 문제음주자의 우울경험의 위험은 높은 연령군, 낮은 교육군, 비고용군, 스트레스 인지군, 주관적 불건강 상태군에서 높았고, 기혼군에서 낮았다. 여성 문제음주자의 우울경험의 위험은 40대 연령군, 낮은 교육군, 비고용군, 스트레스 인지군, 주관적 불건강 상태군에서 높았다. 따라서 우울 위험군인 문제음주자를 조기에 발견하여 정신건강 문제로 진행되지 않도록 예방 활동을 확대하고, 문제음주와 우울관리 접근시 성별에 따른 차별화된 전략이 요구된다.
