The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the application of elastic compression stocking during the stand for a long hours of works on edema and pain of lower extremities in ward nurses. Methods: The experimental group was subjected to elastic pressure tights for 5 days from the beginning to the end, and lower extremity edema and ankle and calf circumference were measured. Results: "There are significant differences in lower extremity pain the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported(p<.001). "There are significant differences in lower extremity edema the experimental group of elastic compression stocking and control group" was supported (p<.001). Conclusion: Applying elastic pressure stocking as a method of management of lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema in ward nurses, relieving symptoms related to lower extremity pain and lower extremity edema during work. This is an effective way to prevent problems and improve the health of nurses and provide quality nursing care.

본 연구는 스포츠용 탄력 압박 스타킹(Essential compression calf sleeve, SKINS, Australia)을 착용하고 최대 운동을 하였을 때, 하지 부종에 어떠한 효과가 있는지를 알아보고자 한다. 실험 대상자는 젊은 성인 남녀 30명으로(남자 15명, 여자15명) 근 골격계 및 심혈관계에 특이 병력이나 사고에 의한 외상 등이 없었으며, 규칙적으로 운동을 하는 자는 제외하였다. 대상자들의 신체적 특성을 파악하기 위해서 자동 신장계(BSM330, Biospace, Korea)를 사용하였다. 부종정도를 알기위해서 줄자로 운동 전후의 장딴지 근(종아리)의 둘레와 체성분 분석기(InBody 720, Biospace, Korea)를 사용하여 하지의 부종 수치를 측정하였다. 최대의 운동은 호흡가스 분석기와 연결된 트레이드밀(CPEX-1, IRS, Japan)을 사용하여 변형된 BRUCE Protocol TR-3에 따라 호흡 교환율(R) 값이 1.15이상 되거나 all-out 될 때까지 하였다. 실험 대상자들은 동일 집단으로 전이효과를 방지하기 위하여 일주일의 간격을 두고 스포츠 탄력 압박 스타킹 착용 유무에 따른 동일한 실험을 두 번 하였다. 측정은 최대 운동 전후의 장딴지 근(종아리)의 둘레와 부종 수치를 하였다. 스포츠용 탄력 압박 스타킹 착용 유무와 운동 전후를 비교하기 위하여 MANOVA(다변량 분산분석)를 사용하였고 유의수준은 .05로 설정하였다. 탄력 압박 스타킹을 착용한 상태에서 최대 운동 전후의 부종 정도를 측정한 결과 스타킹을 착용하지 않았을 때 운동 전후의 둘레가 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.05), 스타킹을 착용 하였을 때 운동 전후의 둘레가 유의하게 증가하지 않았다(p>0.05). 부종 수치(세포외액/전체체액)는 탄력 압박 스타킹을 착용하였을 때 오른쪽 다리는 유의하지 않게 감소하였고(p>0.05), 왼쪽 다리는 유의하게 감소하였다(p>0.05). 탄력 압박 스타킹을 착용하고 운동할 경우 하지의 부종 경감에 어느 정도 효과가 있다고 사료된다.

Objectives: This study was performed to characterize edema of the lower extremities that occurs among hygienists during working hours, and to determine the effects of the use of elastic compression stockings. Methods: The study subjects were 40 dental hygienists working at a dental hospital in Daegu. Symptoms of edema of the lower extremities during working hours were characterized by measurement of calf and ankle circumference. Results: Calf and ankle circumference increased during working hours. The use of elastic compression stockings reduced edema of the lower extremities during working hours. Conclusions: Use of elastic compression stockings can reduce levels of lower extremity edema among dental hygienists.

Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of the application of elastic compression stockings during the hours of work on edema and pain of lower extremity in hospital nurses. Method: The participants were categorized into three groups, 15 for an experimental group of the application of Thigh-Length (T-L) elastic compression stocking, 15 for another experimental group of the application of Knee-Length(K-L) elastic compression stocking and 15 for a control group. The data were analyzed by $X^{2}-test$, ANOVA, Repeated Measures ANOVA and Sheffe-test using SPSS Win 12.0 program. Result: As a result of the study "There are significant differences in lower extremity edema among three groups." was partly supported. "There are significant differences in girth of ankle after work among three groups." was supported(Rt.:F=4.56, p=.016; Lt.: F=5.82, p=.006). "There are significant differences in girth of calf after work among three groups." was not supported(Rt. : F=1.76, p=.183; Lt. : F=1.94, p=.155) "There are significant differences in lower extremity pain after work among three groups." was supported(Rt. : F=95.33, p=.000; Lt. : F=81.33, p=.000). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the application of elastic compression stockings during the hours of work is effective for the relief of edema and pain of lower extremity in hospital nurses.

Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of the application of ankle pumping exercise versus elastic compression stockings for the women lower leg edema and pain due to continuous standing work. Methods: The participants were 20 women with leg edema and pain, divided into two group, 10 ankle exercise group and elastic compression stockings group. Low leg circumference were measured before and after work. Ankle pumping exercise group, elastic compression stockings were divided into groups, individual working one week during the arbitration to arbitration and work around the legs before and after retesting were compared before and after arbitration. Arbitration to stop and keep the information a week after the re-measurement of intervention before and after the arbitration and the degree of intervention were maintained. Statistical methods before and after working around the average value of each the legs was repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The participants had edema and leg problems because of their work. The ankle pumping exercise gorup and elastic compression stockings group showed statistically decrease in leg circumference value. there was no statistically value about the lasting effect of intervention after 1 week. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the application of elastic compression stockings and ankle pumping exercises during the hours of work is effective the relief of edema of lower extremity.
