Abstract

This study was performed to determine the effects on psychological and physiological variables of Horticulture Activity Caring Program for major company white-collar workers. Fifty three White-collar Workers participated in study. They were assigned to two groups (experimental group and control group) in random order. Random order is used Excel 2010 program RAND function of Microsoft. During the eight-week trial, the experimental group was treated with Horticulture Activity Caring Program weekly for 90 minute per session. The control group wasn't treated. Measurements of variables (stress, depression, blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C) were performed at weeks 0 and 8 for all participant. Changes in variables were calculated from baseline to trial completion. The data were collected from July to September 2014. SPSS 21.0 was used for the statistical analysis. : Horticulture Activity Caring Program had positive effects on depression (z=-4.57, p< .000). Conclusion of the study suggest the Horticulture Activity Caring Program may have positive effects on improving depression. We expect that the Horticulture Activity Caring Program will become a complementary and alternative therapy of mental health promotion for the white collar workers.

이 연구는 대기업 사무직 근로자에게 적용한 원예활동 프로그램의 정신적, 생리적 효과를 확인하기 위해서 시행되었다. 53명의 사무직 근로자가 연구에 참여하였다. 참여 대상자들은 2그룹(실험군과 대조군)으로 무작위 할당되었다. 무작위 할당은 Microsoft사의 Excel 2010 program RAND 함수를 이용하여 시행되었다. 8주 실험 동안 실험군에게 1회기 당 90분씩 원예활동 프로그램을 적용하였다. 대조군에게는 아무런 처치를 하지 않았다. 실험 전과 실험 8주 후에 모든 대상자들의 변수들(스트레스, 우울, 혈당, 총콜레스테롤, HDL-C, LDL-C)을 측정하였다. 실험 전부터 실험 완료 후까지 변수들의 변화가 계산되었다. 자료는 2014년 7월부터 9월까지 수집되었다. SPSS 21.0이 통계 분석에 이용되었다. 원예활동 프로그램이 우울에 긍정적인 효과를 가졌다(z=-4.57, p< .000). 결론은 원예활동 프로그램은 우울을 향상시키는 긍정적인 효과를 가진다는 것이다. 원예활동 프로그램이 사무직 근로자의 정신 건강 증진을 위한 보완대체요법으로 활성화되기를 기대한다.
