Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of rosemary oil inhalation on memory, attention and autonomic nervous system according to the concentration difference in the aged. The research design was non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. Participants were 89 individuals aged 65 or older who live in the community. Participants inhaled almond carrier oil(control group), 10%(experimental group A) and 100%(experimental group B) rosemary oil. Memory, attention, and autonomic nervous system responses were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS win 24.0. The differences of the group and time were analyzed through repeated measure ANOVA. There were no significant differences in immediate recall (F=.42, p =.656), delayed recall (F=.45, p=.639), recognition (F=1.45, p=.242), digit span-forward (F=1.53, p=.223), digit span-backward (F=.46, p=.636), activities of sympathetic nerve system (LF)(F=.19, p=.828), activities of parasympathetic nerve system (HF)(F=.37, p=.694), LH/HF(F=1.39, p=.256), systolic blood pressure (F=.37, p=.694), diastolic blood pressure (F=1.25, p=.291). The inhalation of 10% and 100% rosemary oil for five minutes showed no significant effects on memory, attention and automatic nervous system in the aged.

본 연구는 농도별 로즈마리 오일 흡입에 따른 기억력, 집중력, 및 자율신경계 반응을 확인하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 전후 실험설계로 65세 이상 노인에게 아몬드 캐리어 오일 흡입군(대조군), 10% 로즈마리 오일 흡입군(실험군 A)과 100% 로즈마리 오일 흡입군(실험군 B)으로 각 오일을 시향지에 묻혀 5분간 흡입하도록 하였고 기억력, 집중력 및 자율신경계 반응을 측정하였다. 수집된 총 89명의 자료는 SPSS win 24.0를 이용하여 반복측정 ANOVA로 분석하였다. 결과는 기억력 평가인 즉각 회상(F=.42, p=.656), 지연 회상(F=.45, p=.639) 재인 검사(F=1.45, p=.242)와 집중력 평가인 숫자 바로 외우기(F=1.53, p=.223)와 숫자 거꾸로 외우기(F=.46, p=.636)에서 세 군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 자율신경계 반응 결과, 교감신경 활성도(LF)(F=.19, p=.828), 부교감신경 활성도(HF)(F=.37, p=.694), 자율신경계 활성도비(LH/HF)(F=1.39, p=.256), 수축기 혈압(F =.37, p=.694) 및 이완기 혈압(F=1.25, p=.291)에서 세 군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 아몬드 캐리어 오일, 10%와 100% 로즈마리 에센셜 오일 5분간 흡입은 65세 이상 노인의 기억력, 집중력, 자율신경계 반응에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
