Abstract

The purposes of this study were to identify the stress level of nursing students prior to clinical training and to examine the effects of aromatherapy on stress, stress perception, and mood during clinical practice. This study was a randomized control trial using a pre-post test conducted from May-July 2016. A total of 41 junior nursing students were recruited. The experimental group (n=22) underwent aroma inhalation using a necklace containing lavender essential oil and a control group (n=19) used a normal saline necklace. There were significant improvements in stress (p=.023) and mood levels in the experimental group (p=.006). The difference in stress perception between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant (p=.382). Aroma therapy might be useful for decreasing stress and improving their positive mood during clinical practice for nursing students.

본 연구는 아로마 요법이 임상실습을 하는 간호대학생의 스트레스, 스트레스 지각과 기분에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 진행되었다. E대학교 간호학과 3학년을 대상으로 실험군 22명, 대조군 19명의 자료를 분석 하였다. 임상실습을 하는 1주일 동안 실험군은 하루 8시간 동안 라벤더향 아로마 목걸이를 착용하고, 대조군은 호손효과를 막기 위해 식염수 목걸이를 착용하였다. 실습을 시작하기 전, 후에 대상자들이 가지고 있는 스트레스를 알아보기 위해서 수치평정척도와 스트레스지각척도를 이용하여 측정하고, 기분의 변화도를 알아보기 위해서 수치평정척도를 이용하여 측정하여 그 차이를 비교하였다. 모든 자료의 분석은 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 카이제곱, Fisher's Exact Test, Mann whitney U 검정으로 분석하였고 도구의 내적 신뢰도는 Cronbach's alpha로 분석하였다. 그 결과 간호대학생의 임상실습에 대한 스트레스는 중등도 수준이었다. 아로마 요법 적용 한 실험군이 대조군보다 스트레스는 낮아지고 기분이 긍정적으로 변화되는 것으로 나타났으나 스트레스 지각척도는 실험군과 대조군 사이 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여, 임상실습 중 간호대학생의 스트레스를 낮추고 기분을 향상시키기 위한 아로마 중재프로그램 개발이 필요하겠다.
