Abstract

This is a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized experiment research to verify the effect of moxibustion therapy on efficient management of daily living disabilities and sleep patterns in elderly women with chronic low back pain. Total 12 sessions of moxibustion therapy were applied to elderly women(30 subjects in an experimental group and 30 subjects in a control group) in G City once a week for 12 weeks from March 15th to May $31^{st}$ 2015. Then the follow-up study was conducted 2 weeks after the post survey. For moxibustion, was applied to Shen-shu, Ashi point, Ta chang shu, Yang kuan and Yosu. 5 sheets of moxibustion were applied to 7 acupuncture points of Mugeukboyang moxibustion; Zu san li & Chu chi, Chung wan, Chung chi & Shui tao, Fei shu, Kao hung and Tien shu, Wijung respectively and experimental treatment was conducted. For assessing the degree of back pain, Visual Analog Scale(VAS) developed by Scott & Huskisson(1979) was used and for measuring the degree of daily living disability, Oswestry Disability Index, which was developed by Fairbank et al(1980) and translated and revised by Yim, Hyeon-sul et al.(1998), was used. For measuring sleep patterns, the sleep pattern measurement tool developed by Oh, Jin-su, Song, Mi-soon and Kim, Sin-mi(1998) was used. For data analysis, SPSS/WIN 18.0 was employed and Chi-square test, t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were performed. There were significant differences in pain score(F=2510.32, p<.001), daily living disability score(F=1937.82, p<.001) and sleep pattern score((F=15.54, p<.001) of elderly women that were provided with moxibustion therapy, compared to the control group. Therefore, it was found that moxibustion therapy made a positive contribution to reduction in pain and daily living disabilities and improvement in sleep quality. Based on this study finding, there is a need to apply moxibustion therapy to elderly people with chronic low back pain as a nursing intervention in future.

본 연구는 만성요통을 호소하는 여성노인을 대상으로 뜸 요법을 중재 방법으로 적용하여 일상생활기능장애 및 수면 양상을 효율적으로 관리 할 수 있는지 그 효과를 규명하기 위해 시도된 비동등성 대조군 전후 실험연구이다. G시에 거주하는 여성노인(실험군 30명, 대조군 30명)으로 2015년 3월 15일부터 5월 31일까지 뜸 요법을 12주간 주 1회 총 12회 뜸 요법을 적용하였고, 추후조사는 사후조사 2주후에 실시하였다. 뜸 요법은 요혈인 신수(腎諭)와 아시혈, 대장수(大腸兪), 요양관(腰陽關), 요수(腰兪)을 취혈하였다. 무극보양뜸 7혈인 족삼리(足三里) 곡지(谷地), 중완(中脘), 중극(中極)과 수도(水道), 폐수(肺愈), 고황과 천추(天樞), 위중(委中)부위에 각각 5장씩 뜸처치를 실시하였다. 연구도구는 요통정도를 사정하기 위해 Scott & Huskisson(1979)이 개발한 시각적 상사척도(Visual Analog Scale ; VAS)를 사용하였고, 일상생활기능장애 측정 도구는 Fairbank 등(1980)이 개발하고 임현술 등(1998)이 번역 수정한 Oswestry Disability Index를 이용하여 측정하였다. 수면양상 측정 도구는 오진주, 송미순, 김신미(1998)가 개발한 수면 측정 도구를 이용하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 18.0을 사용하였으며 Chi-square test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA를 실시하였다. 대조군에 비해 뜸 요법을 제공받은 여성노인의 통증점수(F=2510.32, p<.001), 일상생활기능장애 점수(F=1937.82, p<.001), 수면양상점수((F=15.54, p<.001)가 유의한 차이로 나타났다. 따라서 뜸요법은 통증과 일상생활기능장에를 감소시키고, 수면의 질을 향상시키는데 긍정적인 기여를 하는 것으로 나타나 향후 뜸요법이 만성요통을 호소하는 노인에게 간호중재로 활용할 필요가 있다.
