초록

배경: 기존 수기 요법의 한계를 보완한 자가 중력 지압 (self-gravity acupressure, SGA)은 기분을 좋게할 것으로 예상되며 스트레스 감소 효과가 기대된다. 목적: SGA에 의한 기분 상태 변화를 평가하고 스트레스 해소 및 면역과 관련된 효과를 토의하고자 한다. 방법: SGA 프로그램을 75분간 체험한 118명(남:21명, 여:97명)을 대상으로, SGA 전과 후에 6가지 요인으로 구분된 총 65문항으로 구성된 기분 상태 척도(K-POMS)를 이용하여 5단계(0-4점)로 평가했다. K-POMS의 총점 (iTMDS) 계산을 위해, 유일하게 긍정적 요인인 '생동과 여유'에 대한 항목의 점수를 역으로 처리하여, iTMDS가 부정적인 기분과 양의 상관성이 증가하도록 했다. 결과: K-POMS의 iTMDS은 SGA 전 1.09±0.54에서 SGA 후 0.63±0.40으로 11.50%가 감소했다 (p<0.001). K-POMS의 유일한 긍정적인 요인인 '생동과 여유'의 평균 점수는 체험 전 1.93±1.17에서 체험 후 2.38±1.31로 10.78% 증가했다 (p<0.001). 반면 5가지 부정적인 요인 중 '피곤과 산만함'의 평균 점수는 SGA 전 1.19±1.24에서 체험 후 0.40±0.85로 16.73% 감소해 가장 큰 변화를 보였다(p<0.001). 나머지 4가지 부정적인 요인(우울한 상태, 불안과 공포, 분노와 적개심, 피곤과 산만함, 무력감과 불확실성)은 7.75 % ~ 11.33% 범위에서 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 결론: K-POMS의 값의 변화로부터 SGA은 대상자의 기분을 크게 증진하는 것으로 확인되었다. 기분 상태는 스트레스 및 면역과 깊게 관련되기 때문에, SGA은 스트레스 해소 및 면역력 증진에 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구의 결과를 추가적으로 확증하고 SGA의 임상적인 유용성을 높이기 위해, 자가 중력 지압의 스트레스 관리 및 면역력 증진 효과를 평가하기 위한 생체 신호 측정 및 임상 병리학적 검사를 포함하는 후속 연구가 제안된다.

Background: Self-gravity acupressure (SGA), which complements the limitations of conventional manual therapies, is expected to have a positive effect on mood, closely related to reduction in stress. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate changes in mood states by SGA and to discuss its effects on stress relief and immunity. Methods: For 118 subjects (21 males and 97 females) who experienced the SGA program for 75 minutes, their mood states were assessed before and after the SGA session on 5 scales (0-4 points) using K-POMS consisting a total of 65 items grouped in six factors. For calculating the total mood disturbance score (iTMDs), the scores of the items in the only positive mood factor 'vigor-comfort' were reversed to have iTMDS increase the degree of the positive correlation with negative mood states. Results: The iTMDS decreased by 11.50% from 1.09±0.54 before SGA to 0.63±0.40 after SGA (p<0.001). The average score of the only positive factor 'vigor-comfort' increased by 10.78%, from 1.93±1.17 before SGA to 2.38±1.31 after SGA (p<0.001). On the other hand, the factor 'fatigue-inertia' of the 5 negative factors decreased most significantly in its average score by 16.73%, from 1.19±1.24 before SGA to 0.40±0.58 after SGA (p<0.001). The remaining 4 negative factors (depressed state, anxiety-fear, anger-hostility, and uncertainty-helplessness) decreased by within the range of 7.75% to 11.33% (p<0.001). Conclusions: Changes in K-POMS scores observed in this study indicate that the SGA program improves significantly mood. Since a mood state is closely related to stress and immunity, SGA is expected to have effects on stress relief and immunity enhancement (p<0.001). Continued studies are suggested to further validate the present results and to enhance the clinical utility, which include physiological signal measurements and clinical pathological examinations to test the effetcs of SGA on stress management and immunity enhancement.
