Abstract

This study is presented as evidence for developing a health education program to prevent lower extermity circulatory system problems among nurses's health problem by identifying the effects of taping therapy on lower extermites discomfort and fatigue for nurses who stand for long periods of time. The study method is a similar experimental study using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design in which taping therapy was applied to female nurses who work day shifts for 5 consecutive days in an orthopedic surgery ward. Data collection was from November 2 to December 18, 2020, and a total of 60 nurses, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group, were recruited from two orthopedic surgery hospitals located in B city. The data were analyzed by chi-square test, t-test and paired t-test using the SPSS WIN 22.0 program. As a result of the study, the experimental group had lower extermities discomfort(t=-1.27, p=<.001) and fatigue score(t=-0.60, p=<.001) than the control group, and it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant effect. It has been proven that taping therapy is a very effective nursing intervention.

본 연구는 장시간 서서 업무를 수행하는 간호사를 대상으로 테이핑요법이 하지불편감 및 피로에 미치는 효과를 파악하여 간호사의 건강 문제 중 하지 순환시스템 문제를 예방하기 위한 건강교육 프로그램 개발에 근거자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 정형외과 병동에서 5일 연속 낮번 근무를 하는 여자 간호사를 대상으로 테이핑요법을 적용한 비동등성 대조군 전후 설계를 이용한 유사 실험연구이다. 자료수집은 2020년 11월 2일부터 12월 18일 까지였으며, B광역시에 소재한 2개의 정형외과 전문병원에서 실험군 30명, 대조군 30명, 총 60명을 모집하였다. 자료는 SPSS WIN 22.0 프로그램을 활용하여 카이제곱 검정, t-test와 paired t-test로 분석하였다. 연구결과 실험군은 대조군보다 하지불편감(t=-1.27, p=<.001)과 피로 점수(t=-0.60, p=<.001)가 낮았으며, 통계적으로 유의하게 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되어 테이핑요법이 매우 효과적인 간호중재임이 증명되었다.
