The purposes of this study are developing a stress index for each individual major trail in the national parks and contribute to establishing a park management policy based on scientific analyses using the index. We collected data from 144 sections of trails in national parks, conducted the Delphi survey and factor analysis, and generated the stress index by standardizing scores of factors contributing to the stress for each trail. As aresult, total eight factors contributing to the stress were considered and four of them, i.e. the amount of visits, the effect of visits, the degree of trail destruction, and species diversity, were selected to generate the stress index. How to weigh factors was determined by their importance obtained in the second Delphi survey and the average from a 5 point Likert scale. Then, the cumulative probabilities from the standardized scores were graded into five groups. In conclusion, there were twenty trails from the six national parks including Jirisan, Bukhansan, Deogyusan, Naejangsan, Seoraksan in the first grade which gained over 80 as the stress index.

Self-esteem and mental health care of students in dental hygiene department who will be responsible for the future of oral health related work is an important issue. In order to solve this psychological problem, a relational analysis between self-esteem, depression and stress is needed. Therefore, this study has examined the self-esteem, depression and stress of students in dental hygiene department by school system and looked into the correlation between these factors. A survey using an individual self entry method was conducted targeting 98 students of a three year course dental hygiene department and 164 students of a four year course dental hygiene department. As a result of this study, self-esteem was shown to be slightly higher for a four year course students than the three year students and for depression index and stress index, it was shown slightly higher for a three year course students than the four year course students. When examining the correlation between the self-esteem, depression and stress, when the self-esteem was higher depression index and stress index was lower, and when the self-esteem was lower the depression index and stress index was shown to be higher.

본 연구에서는 20 대 남자 대학생 45 명에게 세단계의 난이도를 갖는 덧셈연산을 수행하게 하여 반복 연산 스트레스를 유발시켰고, 각각의 피검자들로부터 생체신호를 측정하였다. 측정된 생체신호로부터 8 개의 감성 파라메터를 추출하였다. 연산스트레스의 감성지수화를 위하여 세단계의 감성지수 인식 시스템을 구성하였으며 각 단계의 감성지수 판별을 위하여 선형 판별 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 판별성능 분석은 Cross Validation 을 통하여 수행하였으며 연산스트레스의 감성지수 인식율은, 학습용 데이타에서는 77.66% Cross Validation 에서는 63.02%의 일반화된 감성지수 인식성능을 보였다.

Various factors in daily life cause stress, which could stem from trivial or major events. Stress is not appeared at any time but is appeared over the lifetime. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies to identify ways to manage stress. In the present study, we developed an iris analysis-based system to diagnose and manage stress. By analyzing its correlation with the degree of stress measured using the iris diagnosis and a questionnaire, the user's degree of stress quantitates. The system proposed in this study can be used to measure the degree of stress experienced by the user, which can be an effective method for the early diagnosis and prevention of stress-related diseases.

Various stress exists in a modern society, which requires constant competition and improvement. A person under stress often shows his pressure in his facial expression and language. Therefore, it is possible to measure the pressure using facial expression and language analysis. The paper proposes a stress measurement system using facial expression and language sensitivity analysis. The method analyzes the person's facial expression and language sensibility to derive the stress index based on the main emotional value and derives the integrated stress index based on the consistency of facial expression and language. The quantification and generalization of stress measurement enables many researchers to evaluate the stress index objectively in general.

The purpose of this study is to help female office workers in relieving their stress in rapidly changing modern society and maintaining a healthy and beautiful life by analyzing the complex effects of alternative beauty therapy on stress relaxation targeting 50 female office workers in their 30s to 40s, usually showing a high stress index due to their work. Aroma therapy and dry relax massage were carried out for 15 minutes as a beauty therapy, and stress index of the subjects was confirmed through survey before performing the beauty therapy. The experiment was conducted once a week for four weeks, and the cortisol concentration in saliva was analyzed for the outcome measurement. As a result, average stress index was 3.97 which showed a high value, and the cortisol concentration of the subjects after the experiment decreased significantly (p<0.05), and especially subjects who were married and had caregiving responsibility showed more changes in their cortisol concentration. The above result shows that dry relax massage using aroma is highly effective for mind and body relaxation of women in their 30s to 40s who are significantly stressed. If such beauty measures are applied properly, it is judged to be helpful for managing the stress.

Purposes: We studied whether forest bathing is effective in improving the stress of the human body. Therefore, we investigated changes in pulse rate, stress index, and autonomic nervous system after 2 hours of forest bathing on Jeju Samdasu Forest Methods : The study was conducted before and after forest bathing through heart rate variability and questionnaire. Results: After forest bathing, the average pulse rate of the experimental group was significantly increased. The stress index significantly decreased in the post-test in the experimental group. The cumulative stress, sympathetic activity (LF), parasympathetic activity (HF) change, and LF/HF ratio were slightly different from those of post-test in the experimental group, but were not statistically significant. In the survey of job stress average index and state characteristic anxiety index through questionnaire, it decreased significantly after forest bathing (p<.001). Conclusions: The Samdasu forest bathing has been proven effective in enhancing pulse and reducing stress, so it is evaluated that forest bathing is effective in promoting health.

미디어 디지털컨버전스 환경에서 교육을 수용하는 도구로서 e-Book은 향후 더 많은 확산이 기대되어진다. 본 연구에서는 학습자의 학습도구로서 e-Book과 종이책의 수용 의도를 뇌파를 분석(자기조절지수, 기초율동지수, 주의지수, 활성지수, 정서지수, 항스트레스지수, 좌우뇌균형지수, 브레인지수 분석)하여 실험하였으며, e-Book을 사용후, 성별에 상관없이 내외적 환경 요인으로 인한 육체적, 정신적 피로도에 대한 저항력을 나타내는 항스트레스 지수가 낮아지는 결과를 얻었다. 향후, 본 연구를 기반으로 개선방향을 찾을 필요가 있다.
