본 연구는 평소 자신의 업무에 대하여 지각하는 스트레스 지수가 높은 30~40대 직장 여성 50명을 대상으로 미용대체 요법이 스트레스 완화에 미치는 복합적인 영향을 분석하여 급변하는 현대사회에서 여성 직장인들이 받는 스트레스를 완화시켜 건강하고 아름다운 삶을 유지하는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 미용요법은 향기요법과 건식 이완 마사지를 15분간 시행하였으며, 시행 전 설문을 통하여 스트레스 지수를 확인하였다. 실험은 주1회 4주간 시행되었고 결과 측정은 타액 내 코티졸의 농도로 분석하였다. 그 결과 실험 전 스트레스 지수 평균은 3.97로 높게 나타났으며, 실험 후 대상자들의 코티졸 농도는 유의하게(p<0.05) 낮아졌고 특히, 기혼과 부양책임을 가진 대상자들에게서 더 많은 변화를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 향을 이용한 건식이완 마사지는 스트레스가 심한 30~40대 여성들의 심신 안정에 매우 효과적인 것으로 판단되며 이러한 미용적 방안을 잘 적용한다면 스트레스 관리에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of relaxation on stress and blood pressure of the college students induced by a cognitive distress game. Methods: The subjects for this research were 18 individuals whose stress index scores were below 4.0 (Asan city). The 18 subjects were divided into two, 9 students were assigned to the experimental group and the other 9 students to the control group randomly. Survey was used to gather data to recognize general characteristics and the level of stress and blood pressure were measured before and after cognitive distress game and relaxation. The gathered data were analyzed with frequency, $X^2$-test, Wilcoxon signed ranks test and Mann Whitney U test using SPSS 14.0 program. Results: Both level of stress and blood pressure displayed a statistically significant difference pre and post cognitive distress game. Relaxation had a statistically significant effect on level of stress. Relaxation, however, did not have statistically significant effect on blood pressure. Conclusion: The above results suggest that while relaxation was effective in reducing level of stress for college students, and therefore recommendable as a means to deal with stress. However, to investigate the effects on physiological index such as blood pressure, further research is needed.

불면증은 다양한 신체적, 정신적 원인에 의해 생기는데, 특히 과잉각성은 불면증에 중요한 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 불면증 환자에서 약물치료에 한계가 있으며 심리적 요인이 불면증의 발생과 경과에 큰 영향을 미친다는 사실이 알려지면서, 여러 가지 비약물치료적 방법이 도입되었다. 바이오피드백을 포함한 비약물치료는 불면증 치료에 효과적이며 치료 효과도 오래 유지되는 것으로 보고되었다. 바이오피드백은 이완요법과 함께 사용 시 불면증 환자의 각성 수준을 낮춰 수면의 시작 및 유지에 도움이 되므로, 각성 수준이 높거나 약물 사용에 제한이 따르는 불면증 환자에게 매우 유용할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of relaxation therapy on state anxiety, preterm labor stress, blood pressure, skin temperature, pulse rate of pregnant women with preterm labor and heart rate of their babies. Methods: The participants were 55 pregnant women with preterm labor who hospitalized from May, 2009 to January, 2010. 29 participants were assigned to experimental group and the other 26 participants to control group. All of them were not have any other complications except preterm labor. The relaxation therapy was applied to the experimental group for 5 days. Data were analyzed by the SPSS/WIN 14.0 program. Results: The state anxiety score and the preterm labor stress score of experimental group were statistically significant lower than those of control group. In addition, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of experimental group were statistically lower than those of control group. The skin temperature of experimental group was higher than that of control group. However, the fetal heart rate of experimental group was not statistically significant lower than fetal heart rate of control group. Conclusion: From these findings, it is concluded that relaxation therapy may be an effective nursing intervention for pregnant women with preterm labor.

A meta-analysis of 14 quasi-experimental studies was conducted to compare the effect of size on various relaxation therapies applied to patients and health volunteer students. These studies were selected from theses, dissertations and papers that have been done between 1982 to 1993. Also They have a randomized or nonequivalent control group in a pre test-post test design. The studies were evaluated in different ways; 1) types of relaxation therapy, 2) total amount of time of relaxation therapy, and 3) types of outcome variables. For a group of homogenious studies, the weighted mean effect size and standard error were estimated. Some findings are summarized as follows : 1. Jacobson relaxation therapy had a larger effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressures than on state anxiety. 2. For the total time of relaxation therapy, (longer than 60 minutes) had a much larger effect in decreasing systolic and diastolic blood pressures than in the case of a time period shorter than 60 minutes. 3. Relaxation therapy applied to surgery patients also had a larger effect in decreasing state anxiety than when applied to other patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of relaxation therapy to reduce anxiety level among spinal anesthesia surgery patients. Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental pre-and-posttest design with nonequivalent control group. The experimental group was provided with the 15-min muscle relaxation therapy on the day before the surgery and an hour before the spinal anesthesia. Data were collected from 44 patients (22 in experimental and 22 in control group) who were planned to have spinal anesthesia surgery from an orthopedic surgery department at a general hospital in Seoul from January 13 to March 21, 2006. Results: The experimental group reported lower level of state anxiety after the surgery (23.18 vs. 33.64) than did control group but was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences in blood pressure or pulse rate between experimental and control groups after surgery. Conclusions: The further research should be conducted to polish the muscle relaxation therapy for various types of patients and to create more comfortable environment setting for application of the therapy. The muscle relaxation therapy may be a convenient and useful nursing intervention to reduce anxiety among spinal anesthesia surgery patients if more studies prove its effectiveness.

Twenty five cancer patients were assigned to two groups: The experimental group which received Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) training and the control group without the training. Base line data for dependent variables -nausea and vomiting, state anxiety and symptom distress- were collected when the subjects of both groups received the first cycle chemotherapy. Then the experimental group was trained for PMR between the first and the second cycle chemotherapy. The same dependent variables were measured during the second cycle chemotherapy from the subjects. Results indicated that the PMR group showed no significant difference in severity of nausea and vomiting compared to the control group. Although the significance was not supported, the severity of nausea and vomiting in experimental group decreased while control group increased between the first and fifth day of the second cycle chemotherapy. The experimental group showed significantly less state anxiety during the second cycle than the control group (p＜0.01). Significantly low symptom distress was also reported in the experimental group compared to the control group(p<0.01). The result suggests that PMR training may be an effective procedure for helping cancer patients cope with the adverse effects of their chemotherapy.

이완반응은 갚은 휴식상태를 말하며, 소위 스트레스반응으로 불리는 투쟁-도피 반응의 생리적 변화와 반대되는 생리적 변화를 일으키게 된다. 따라서 인위적으로 이완반응을 일으킴으로써 이러한 스트레스 반응을 상쇄시킬 수 있다. 이러한 이완반응을 일으킬 수 있는 복식호흡, 명상, 점진적 근육이완기법, 자율이완훈련, 생체되먹이기법 등의 다양한 이완기법들이 제시되어 왔으며, 이들은 다양한 신체, 정신 질환뿐만 아니라 정상적인 스트레스 관리 프로그램에 있어서도 마음과 신체의 안녕을 위해 유익한 도움을 줄 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 이러한 이완기법들은 스트레스 관리를 위한 전체적 과정의 한 부분으로 이해되어야 할 것이며, 자신에 맞는 적절한 기법을 찾아 지속적인 훈련을 함으로써 효과적인 스트레스 관리 방법으로서의 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 저자는 명상, 점진적 근육이완기법, 자율이완훈련 및 기타 이완기법에 대한 보다 구체적이고 실제적인 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 스트레스와 관련된 다양한 신체, 정신 질환들에 대한 치료적 접근을 함에 있어서, 전통적 치료 방법에 병합하여 이완기법을 사용함으로써 스트레스와 질병 사이의 조절자로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

There have been many trials of clinical efficacy of multi component and single component treatments for irritable bowel syndrome(IBS). We reviewed effects of non phamacological treatments in the IBS. Though the efficacy of multi-component approaches was unclear, several results suggest that cognitive behavioral therapy was effective in improving gastrointestinal symptoms of IBS. As a single component, cognitive therapy and relaxation with or without biofeedback could improve the symptoms and psychological health of IBS patients. Yoga, meditation, self-help information and hypnotherapy could be applicable to IBS.
