Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of ear acupressure therapy on premenstrual syndrome of the female college students. This research design of our study was a quasi-experimental design. Out of the 27 female college students, 13 were assigned to the experimental group and 14 to the control group. The data was obtained over 3 months from K college located in G city. The use of instrument to assess the premenstrual syndrome is Keele's VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) with the opening records. The subject of the experimental group received the ear acupressure therapy for 3 times for 60 days and the other control group did not get the ear acupressure therapy treatment. We analysed the data and extracted the values of percentage, mean, standard deviation, $x^2$-test, t-test, and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ using SPSS program. The VAS score of the premenstrual syndromes before the ear acupressure therapy was 7.3(experimental group), 7.46(control group) but after the ear acupressure therapy, the VAS score of the premenstrual syndromes was 3.36(experimental group), 7.17(control group). The result of this study reveals that the ear acupressure therapy was effective in improving the symptoms of the female college students who had the premenstrual syndromes.

본 논문의 목적은 여대생들의 월경 불편감에 대한 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 이 연구의 연구 설계는 27명의 여대생을 대상으로 실험군 13명, 대조군 14명으로 나누어 실시하였다. 자료는 G시의 K 대학의 유아교육과 여학생을 대상으로 3개월에 거쳐 수집되었다. 연구도구는 Keele's VAS(시각분석 등급)을 이용하여 월경 곤란 증상을 측정하였다. 실험군은 60일 동안 3회의 이압 요법을 실시하였고 대조군은 이압 요법을 실시하지 않았다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS프로그램을 이용하여 평균, 비율, 편차, $x^2$-test, t-test Cronbach's ${\alpha}$로 분석 하였다. 이 실험의 결과 실시한 VAS 값은 이압 요법 이전에는 실험군이 7.3, 대조군이 7.46이었으나 이압 실시 후 실험군은 3.36, 제어군은 7.17의 값을 보여 주었다. 따라서 본 실험에 의하면 이압 요법은 월경 불편감을 가진 여대생의 증상 개선에 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다.
