목적: 본 연구는 갱년기 증상이 있는 50대 여성 대상자들이 족욕을 하였을 때 갱년기 증상 및 수면장애에 미치는 효과를 연구하는 것이 목적이었다. 방법: 12주간 주 3회 족욕요법을 실시한 후에 갱년기 증상의 사전 및 사후 변화를 조사하였다. 결과: 안면홍조, 심장 불편감, 수면 문제, 우울감, 과민성, 불안감, 신체 및 정신적 피로, 성적인 문제, 배뇨문제, 질 건조감, 관절 및 근육 불편감이 있는 대상자는 사전보다 사후에 모두 유의성이 있게 개선되었다(p < .001). 족욕 후에 주관적 수면의 질, 수면 잠복기, 수면 기간, 수면 방해점수, 수면 약물 이용 및 수면 기능장애는 사전보다 사후가 유의하게 감소하였다(p < .001). 습관적 수면 효율성 유의하게 증가하였다. 결론: 대상자들이 족욕 후에 갱년기 증상과 수면의 질이 전반적으로 개선된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 족욕요법은 갱년기 증상 및 수면 개선에 적합한 자연치유적 요법이라 평가한다.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 불면증에 대한 한방 족욕요법의 연구 동향을 검토하는 것이다. 방법: 관련 연구의 수집을 위해 CNKI에서 검색을 수행하여, 2023년 8월 29일까지 발표된 연구를 검토하였다. 불면증 환자를 대상으로 한방 족욕요법과 수면제를 비교한 무작위 대조군 임상시험 만을 분석에 포함하였다. 포함된 연구들의 방법론적 질은 Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool을 사용하여 평가하였다. 메타분석의 결과는 위험비(risk ratios, RRs)와 평균차(mean differences, MDs) 및 그 95% 신뢰구간(confidence intervals, CIs)으로 제시되었다. 결과: 총 11편의 무작위 대조군 임상시험이 포함되었다. 분석 결과, 한방 족욕요법은 벤조디아제핀계 약물과 비교하여 유의하게 더 높은 총유효율(RR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.36; I²=25%)과 개선된 피츠버그 수면의 질 지수(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) 총 점수(MD, -3.10; 95% CI, -4.24 to -1.95; I²=73%)를 보였다. 또한, 벤조디아제핀계 약물에 한방 족욕요법을 병용한 경우, 벤조디아제핀계 약물을 단독으로 사용한 것과 비교하여 유의하게 더 높은 총유효율(RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.27; I²=0%)과 개선된 PSQI 총 점수(MD, -2.23; 95% CI, -4.09 to -0.38; I²=80%)을 보였다. 네트워크 분석을 통해 한방 족욕요법에 포함된 약재를 분석하고 시각화한 결과, 4개의 클러스터가 발견되었으며, 핵심 약재는 야교등과 산조인이었다. 포함된 연구들의 방법론적 질은 전반적으로 낮았다. 결론: 이 연구는 불면증 개선에 있어서 단독요법 또는 병행치료로서의 한방 족욕요법이 효과적이라는 제한된 수준의 근거를 보여준다. 이 연구의 발견은 향후 한국에서 시행할 한방 족욕요법 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of foot bath therapy on the symptom intensity, distress, and interference with usual activities due to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in patients with metastatic and recurrent cancer. Methods: Foot bath therapy was administered to the experimental group for >8 sessions in 2 weeks, and the chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy assessment tool (CIPNAT) was used to measure its effects on the symptom intensity, distress, and interference with usual activities due to CIPN. SPSS was used to perform data analyses including descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, paired t-test, and repeated measures ANCOVA. Results: A statistically significant difference in the variation of the symptom intensity, distress, and interference with usual activities due to CIPN was observed between the two groups; however, a statistically insignificant difference was observed between the groups and time of interaction. Conclusion: Foot bath therapy can be used as a simple and effective clinical or home care nursing intervention to improve the symptom intensity, distress and interference with usual activities due to CIPN.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of foot bath therapy on operating room (OR) nurses' lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue. Methods: This study used a randomized control group non-synchronized design. The data were collected from August to October 2013, and a total of 50 OR nurses in an university hospital in U Metropolitan City participated in the study: 25 nurses for the experimental group and 25 for the control group. The experimental group received foot bath in which feet were soaked in $40^{\circ}C$ water and immersed up to ankle line for 20 minutes per a day for 12 times. Results: There were significant decrease in the calf edema, physical stress, and fatigue between pre and post foot bath therapy. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that foot bath had the effect in decreasing lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue among OR nurses. Foot bath therapy, therefore, is suggested as a comfort and easy-to-use method in clinical setting to reduce OR nurses' lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue.

오랫동안 서 있거나 걷는 등의 작업 후에 흔히 중력으로 인한 체내순환이 영향을 받아 하지의 부종, 통증, 피로 등이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구는 보완대체요법으로 아로마테라피 에센셜 오일을 이용하여 족욕 또는 스프레이로 적용하였을 때 하지부종 및 하지통증, 피로에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 연구이다. 본 연구는 무작위통제연구이며, 연구 참여자는 2018년 8월 15일부터 2018년 10월 11일까지 D광역시 소재 E 대학교병원에서 연구 참여자 모집공고에 자원한 간호사 78 명을 대상으로 동질성을 유지하기 위한 낮번 근무를 하는 간호사로 하였다. 실험 중재는 그레이프후룻과 페퍼민트를 1:1로 블렌딩한 에센셜 오일을 0.5ml 넣은 9L의 물에 족욕을 하거나 3%로 희석하여 분사하는 스프레이 방법을 적용하였다. 자료는 ANOVA, Repeated Measures ANOVA로 분석하였다. 아로마 테라피 족욕군과 스프레이군의 종아리 둘레가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(F = 14.053, p <.001). 하지 통증 (F = 42.497, p <.001)과 피로 (F = 20.641, p <.001)도 실험 중재 후 아로마테라피 족욕군과 스프레이군에서 대조군보다 유의하게 감소하였다. 하지의 부종과 통증을 완화하기 위해 족욕을 권장하며, 적용 수월성을 고려할 때 아로마 스프레이를 적극 권장한다.

Purpose: To determine the type and degree of effect that a hot footbath has on sleep quality and fatigue level in older Korean adults. Methods: A non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was used. Fifty participants from a long-term care facility in Kwangju, South Korea, were randomly selected and assigned to two groups: experimental group (27 participants) and control group (23 participants). The participants in the experimental group received hot footbaths in a temperature-controlled water tub of $42^{\circ}C$. They soaked their feet up to 20cm above the ankles for 30 minutes before going to bed for 3 nights. Actigraphy was used to measure their sleep patterns. The data were analyzed using the SAS program. Results: After the intervention, the total sleep satisfaction rate of the participants increased, while sleep latency and fatigue decreased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The study results suggest that hot footbaths are beneficial for older Korean adults in enhancing sleep quality as well as reducing fatigue. Therefore, hot footbaths are recommended as a nursing intervention to improve sleep quality and to reduce fatigue in older Korean adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of foot bath therapy on post-operation pain, stress, HRV of hand replantation patients. Methods: Quasi-experimental study design and non-equivalent control group pre & post test repeated measure design were employed for this experiment. 47 subjects were selected for this study. 25 subjects of experimental group participated in foot bath program had foot bath 11 times for 2 weeks; 22 subjects of control group didn't have foot bath. Pain was digitized numerically by using Visual Analogue Scale, stress was measured by stress perception questionnaire, and HRV was measured by using Cnopy9 (IEMBIO). Results: The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 17.0 Win program. (1) The difference between experimental group and control group was shown statistically significant in aspect of pain (p<.05). (2) The difference between experimental group and control group was shown statistically significant in aspect of stress (p<.05). (3) The difference between experimental group and control group was not shown statistically significant in aspect of HRV (p>.05). Conclusion: Foot bath program was an effective intervention for pain loss and perception of stress reduction. But it wasn't effective for HRV.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of foot-bath on lower extremities edema and fatigue among college students in Korea. Methods: This study used an quasi-experimental design with 56 participants (30 for experiments and 26 for controls). The experimental group performed 20-minute foot bath before sleep three times for one week. All subjects were directed to use their smart-phones to fill out a questionnaire about fatigue. Leg circumference was measured 10 minutes after foot bath. The test was performed from April 30th to May 22th in 2016. Data was analyzed using t-test and $x^2$ test. Results: We found no difference in general characteristics between the experimental group and the control group. Left leg edema of the experimental group decreased by $16.63{\pm}14.57mm$ (p<.001). The experimental group's right leg-edema decreased by $13.10{\pm}13.97mm$ (p<.001). There was no statistically significant difference in their fatigue level when comparing before and after the foot baths. Conclusion: We found that doing foot baths for two weeks could have positive effects in reducing leg-edema among college students. Foot bath may be applied as an effective nursing intervention to decrease leg edema among young people. The results are based on a limited number of study samples and a short-term intervention. Further research can be performed with extended population and a prolonged study period.
