Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of aromatherapy massage on the preoperative anxiety of stomach cancer patients. Method: The research design was a nonequivalent control group non synchronized design. The data were collected during the period of October 2 to December 30, 2005 at H Hospital in Seoul. The subjects were 40 patients who were operated under general anesthesia for stomach cancer. State anxiety, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate were measured on the day before surgery and the preoperative period. Data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2$ test, independent t-test, paired t-test. Results: Hypothesis 1 that the level of preoperative state anxiety of the experimental group who received aromatherapy massage is lower than that of the control group who did not received aromatherapy was supported(p=.004). Hypothesis 2 the physiological index of the preoperative anxiety of the experimental group who received aromatherapy is lower than that of the control group who did not received aromatherapy. Conclusion: According to these results, aromatherapy hand massage can be regarded as a partially effective nursing intervention that relives anxiety of surgical patients and decreases the blood pressure level.

Method: The data were collected during the period from Oct. 10 to Nov. 15, 2005 at S-Hospital in Seoul. There were forty-eight subjects, 24 for the experimental and 24 for the control group. A Pre & post test were conducted to measure pulse rate, perceived stress(level and score) and a blood sample for cortisol and IgA. In the experimental group, lavender and geranium were used. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $x^2$-test and t-test with SPSS program. Result: The pulse rate was reduced but there were no significant differences between the two groups.

목적: 아로마테라피는 진통 효과, 항우울 및 항불안 효과를 가지는 것으로 알려진 대체 의학의 한 종류이다. 본 연구는 유방암 환자에서 아로마 오일로 손 마사지를 교육시킨 후 대조군과 비교하여 활력 징후, 통증의 강도, 우울, 그리고 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하여 아로마 자가 치료의 효능을 검증 하고자 하였다. 방법: 20세 이상 유방암 환자 32명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 비맹검 무작위 방법을 이용하였다. 아로마 자가-치료군(n=15)은 2주간 집에서 스스로 아로마 오일(프랑켄센스 버가못, 라벤더)을 사용하여 하루 2회 손 마사지를 시행하도록 하였고, 대조군(n=17)에게는 어떠한 중재도 하지 않았다. 두 군 모두에서 0, 1, 3 주에 3회에 걸쳐 통증 강도(Visual Analogue Scale: VAS, $0{\sim}10cm$), 불안(State-anxiety in State Trait Anxiety Inventory: STAI) 및 우울(Beck Depression Inventory Scales: BDIS), 스트레스(Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument: BEPSI수정판) 등을 조사하여 두 군 간의 자가치료 전, 후의 변화량 차이를 비교하였다. 또한 아로마 자가치료 후 환자의 동반 증상 변화도 설문지를 통해 분석하였다. 결과: 통증 강도는 대조군과 비교시 아로마 자가 치료군에서 의미 있게 감소하였다(VAS score $0.83{\pm}1.01\;vs\;0.38{\pm}0.86$, P=0.0046). 동반 증상의 수도(P=0.044), 우울 정도(P=0.001) 그리고 불안정도도아로마 자가 치료군(P=0.008)에서 2주 후 의미 있게 감소하였으나, 대조군은 오히려 증가하였다. 그러나, 스트레스 정도는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다($0.05{\pm}0.85\;vs\;0.04{\pm}0.20$ P=0.1519), 우울 정도, 불안 정도, 스트레스 정도는 자가치료 순응도가 좋을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 아로마 자가 치료군에서 수축기 혈압은 약간 증가하였으나 통계학적 의의는 없었다($4.53{\pm}14.43mmHg\;vs\;0.0{\pm}7.22mmHg$, P=0.152). 자가 치료군에서 환자들은 두통(20%), 감각이상(6.7%), 오심(6.7%) 등의 부작용을 호소했으나, 이들 모두 일시적인 것으로 자가치료를 중단할 정도는 아니었다. 결론: 유방암 환자들에게 아로마 손 마사지 교육을 시킨 후 자기 스스로 2주간 시행한 결과, 통증강도, 우울 및 불안 정도가 의미 있게 감소하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aroma hand massage on stress, fatigue, and sleep in sophomore nursing students. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group and a pre-post test was used. Thirty-seven sophomore nursing students were recruited. The experimental group (n=18) underwent 40 minutes aroma hand massage which was provided by the research assistant. The research assistant was trained with a video clip for aroma hand massage that was developed by Korea Aroma Association. Aroma oil contained lavender essential oil and sweet orange oil mixed with a jojoba oil base. The control group (n=19) did not receive any other treatments related aroma and massage. Results: Significant improvements were exhibited in scores for stress (t=-2.61, p=.013) and fatigue in the experimental group (t=-2.05, p=.047) compared to the control group. However, differences in sleep between two groups were not statistically significant (t=1.23, p=.277) between two groups. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that aroma hand massage could be useful to decrease stress and fatigue levels for sophomore nursing students. Therefore, results of this study can be used as a basis of health care programs for reducing stress of nursing students.

Purpose: To determine the effects of 10 % lidocaine spray and aroma hand massage on pain, anxiety, blood pressure, and pulse during arteriovenous (AV) fistula needling in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design. Forty HD patients were assigned to either 10 % lidocaine spray group (n=21) or aroma massage group (n=19). 10 % lidocaine was sprayed 3 times around AV fistula 10 minutes before. Aroma hand massage was performed for 5 minutes with fluids containing 2 % of lavender, peppermint, and geranium concentrate mixture. Pain, anxiety, blood pressure, and pulse were measured during AV fistula needling without any intervention on the first week and during interventions on the second week. Data were analyzed with ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, paired t-test and MANCOVA. Results: Pain and anxiety were significantly decreased in both the lidocaine spray group and aroma massage group. Aroma hand massage was more effective to reduce pulse during AV fistula needling. Conclusion: The results suggest that 10% lidocaine spray and aroma hand massage may be effective to reduce pain, anxiety, and pulse during AV fistula needling in HD patients.
