Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the application of elastic compression stockings and lower extremities exercise on edema and pain of lower extremities in hospital nurses. The participants were 30 hospital nurses working at a general hospital. The participants were categorized into three groups such as, 10 for an experimental group of the application of the elastic compression stocking, 10 for another experimental group of the application of Lower extremities exercise and 10 for a control group. Edema of the lower extremities were measured in terms of the girths of ankles and calves. And pain of the lower extremities were measured in terms of the score by NRS(Numerical Rating Scale). The data were analyzed with Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, ${\chi}^2$-test and ANOVA to identify the participants' characteristics, SPSS Win 21.0 program was used for analysing. There are significant differences in lower extremity edema among the experimental group of lower extremities exercise, experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group was supported(Rt Calf F=0.645, p=.000, Lt Calf F=21.941, p=.000). There are significant differences in lower extremity pain the experimental group of lower extremities exercise, experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group was supported(Rt: F==7.320, p=.000 Lt: F=10.623, p=.000). In conclusion, in has been appeared that the lower extremities exercise and wearing elastic compression stocking have effedted in relieving low extremity edema and pain scale for nurses.

본 연구는 하지운동과 탄력압력스타킹 적용이 간호사의 하지부종 및 통증에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 전 후시차설계를 이용한 유사실험연구이다. 연구대상자는 E시에 소재하는 일개종합병원에 근무하는 간호사 30명으로 탄력압력스타킹 적용군 10명, 하지운동 적용군 10명, 대조군 10명으로 구성되었다. 자료수집은 2015년 8월 10일부터 2015년 8월 31일까지 이루어졌다. 실험처치는 실험군인 탄력압력스타킹 적용군은 근무 중 탄력압력스타킹을 착용하며 하지운동 적용군은 근무 전 하지운동을 적용하였다. 종속변수인 하지부종은 줄자를 사용하여 측정하였고, 하지통증은 숫자척도를 사용하여 측정하였다. 자료분석을 위해 SPSS WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 하지운동 적용군, 탄력압력스타킹 적용군과 대조군간의 하지부종에 대한 차이에 대한 비교는 지지되었으며(오른쪽 종아리 F=0.645, p=.000, 왼쪽 종아리 F=21.941, p=.000), 하지운동 적용군, 탄력압력스타킹 착용군과 대조군간에는 하지통증에 대한 차이에 대한 비교는 지지 되었다(오른쪽: F=7.320, p=.000 왼쪽: F=10.623, p=.000). 또한 하지운동 적용군과 탄력압력스타킹 적용군은 근무 후 발목둘레와 종아리둘레가 감소하였으나 대조군의 경우는 발목둘레와 종아리둘레가 오히려 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 이에 하지운동 적용과 탄력압력스타킹 적용은 간호사와 같이 장시간 서서 일하는 직업 종사자들의 하지부종 감소 및 통증완화를 위해 효과적인 중재방법임을 알 수 있다.
