초록

목적: 본 연구는 갱년기 증상이 있는 50대 여성 대상자들이 족욕을 하였을 때 갱년기 증상 및 수면장애에 미치는 효과를 연구하는 것이 목적이었다. 방법: 12주간 주 3회 족욕요법을 실시한 후에 갱년기 증상의 사전 및 사후 변화를 조사하였다. 결과: 안면홍조, 심장 불편감, 수면 문제, 우울감, 과민성, 불안감, 신체 및 정신적 피로, 성적인 문제, 배뇨문제, 질 건조감, 관절 및 근육 불편감이 있는 대상자는 사전보다 사후에 모두 유의성이 있게 개선되었다(p < .001). 족욕 후에 주관적 수면의 질, 수면 잠복기, 수면 기간, 수면 방해점수, 수면 약물 이용 및 수면 기능장애는 사전보다 사후가 유의하게 감소하였다(p < .001). 습관적 수면 효율성 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론: 대상자들이 족욕 후에 갱년기 증상과 수면의 질이 전반적으로 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 족욕요법은 갱년기 증상 및 수면 개선에 적합한 자연치유적 요법이라 평가한다.

Purpose: Purpose: This study was to study the effect of foot bathing on menopausal symptoms and sleep disorders in female subjects in their 50s with menopausal symptoms. Methods: After 12 weeks of foot bath therapy three times a week, pre- and post-menopausal signs were measured. Results: Subjects with hot flashes, heart discomfort, sleep problems, depression, irritability, anxiety, physical and mental fatigue, sexual problems, urination problems, vaginal dryness, and joint and muscle discomfort significantly improved after than before(p < .001). Subjective sleep quality, sleep incubation period, sleep duration, sleep disturbance score, sleep drug use, and sleep dysfunction significantly decreased after foot bath than before(p < .001). Habitual sleep efficiency increased considerably. Conclusions: The subjects showed overall improvement in menopausal symptoms and sleeping quality after a foot-bath. Therefore, foot bath therapy is evaluated as a natural healing therapy suitable for improving menopausal symptoms and sleep.
