Abstract

This study was investigate the effects of the magnetic field therapy applied to the acupuncture point on dysmenorrhea experienced by high school girls and to verify the possibility to use this therapy as an effective in-home nursing intervention. Data were collected from Feburary to April, 2006. The research procedure was that female students who visited in public health center had to fill in questionnaires with dysmenorrhea Grapic Rating Scale(GRS) and Adjective Labor Pain Rating Scale(ALPRS), the gauge of pain, before participating the experiment. And then each group was tested for 3 hours. Participants before and after applying magnetic treatment filled each questionnaires with dysmenorrhea GRS and ALPRS. The GRS points and ALPRS points in the experimental group, applied by Magnetic Field therapy on acupuncture point is lower than that in the comparison group. The above result has proved that the magnetic field therapy on acupuncture has an effect on the pain alleviation of dysmenorrhea of female students in high school. Therefore, propose this therapy to dysmenorrhea of female students. In this research, ALPRS indicated validity on dysmenorrhea, so for verifying validity, further research is necessary.

본 연구는 경혈점에 적용한 자장요법이 여고생의 월경통에 미치는 효과를 파악하여 여고생들에게 효율적인 자가 간호 중재로써의 활용가능성을 검증하고자 시도된 무작위 할당 대조군 전후설계이다. 자료수집기간은 2006년 3월부터 4월까지로, 보건실을 방문한 여고생에게 실험 전, 설문지에 통증척도인 도표 평정 척도(Grapic Rating Scale, GRS)와 분만어휘 평정척도(Adjective Labor Pain Rating Scale, ALPRS)를 작성하게 한 뒤 각 군에게 직경 12mm, 두께 3mm의 원형 자석에 800~1200Gauss의 자력이 있는 의료용 자석을 3시간동안 적용하였다. 설문지는 각각 자석 적용 직후 3시간과 제거 후 3시간에 설문지인 GRS와 ALPRS를 작성하게 하였다. 연구결과 경혈점에 자장요법을 적용한 실험군은 적용하지 않은 대조군보다 월경통 GRS와 ALPRS가 유의하게 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 경혈점에 적용한 자장요법이 여고생의 월경통에 통증경감에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 비약물요법으로서의 월경통 완화를 위한 간호중재법으로 활용할 것을 기대한다. 또한 본 연구에서 ALPRS가 월경통에 대해 타당성이 제시되었으므로 추후 연구를 통해 ALPRS의 타당도 검증을 위한 반복 연구가 필요하다. 여고생들의 월경통 경감을 위한 보완대체요법으로 적용하게 될 것을 제언한다.
