Objective : As today obese children have increased rapidly in Korea, the interest has been much increased. The childhood obesity causes not only physical problems but also psychosocial problems and it is more difficult than that of adult to treat. That's why we started to intervene actively. Methods : In the Oriental Medical Center, several children were treated for obesity with aroma massage, low frequency wave acupuncture therapy. auricular acupuncture therapy and behavior modification and 3 children over the middle level are mentioned in this study with good results. Results : 1) After treatments, they became taller$(1.1667{\pm}0.8505cm)$. 2) After treatments, they lost their weights$(1.6333{\pm}0.7768kg)$. 3) After treatments, their BMI and OI were reduced$(1.4667{\pm}0.5774kg/m^2,\;9.8{\pm}1.7776%)$. Conclusion : We report the good results of oriental medicine on three cases of obese children over the middle level. And the further study is needed with more cases, longer duration and other tools.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate estheticians' self-reported pain symptoms and pain levels according to the parts of the hand. Methods: Data were collected through a questionnaire survey among 116 estheticians from 31 skin care centers and spas. Information about general characteristics, job characteristics and work characteristics were based on data from the self-administered questionnaire. To determine the self-reported pain symptoms and pain levels according to the parts of the hand, a Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire was used. Results: The subjects had the greatest self-reported pain symptoms in the thumb(Right: 53.4%, Left: 46.6%) and felt the highest level of pain in the wrist(Right: 4.87 points, Left: 4.71 points). Physical burdens and age had statistically significant effects on the pain level in the right hand, while physical burdens and the manager rather than the director had statistically significant effects on the pain level in the left hand. Conclusions: Since the thumb and wrist have the greatest subjective pain symptoms in the hand, the use of proper tools is recommended in order to reduce the usage of the thumbs during massage, as is regular stretching to protect the wrists.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide basic data on the intervention for depression program development and application by analyzing the depression intervention studies for women that were published in Korea Journal (2000~2014). Methods: The research method used was the integrative review. Nine studies were reviewed from the Nursing Articles and National Assembly Library of which 41 studies were from 126 research papers that met the inclusion criteria and analyzed using MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies) and according to general characteristics. Results: There were non-equivalent control group pre-post test design (78%) in research design. 44% of articles in sample size were 14~26 participants and measuring tools were used CES-D (29%), BDI (I & II, 22%), GDSSF-K (22%). In quality of research according to MINORS, most of the papers got 2 scores except for the items of sample size calculation standard. Even though the similar intervention program were reported, the results could not compare because of diverse contents, duration, methods, and measuring tool with intervention program. As the results, aroma, massage, and counseling programs seemed to have significant effects of depression alleviation. Conclusion: The standard tailored program and measuring tool for depression alleviation of women was needed to develop.

Purpose: The purpose of study was : 1) to analyse the trend of research on the sensory stimulation in newborn in Korea, 2) to suggest direction for further study on the sensory stimulation in newborn and contributing to the use of intervention in newborn. Method: Research studies on the sensory stimulation in newborn were selected from the dissertations, parents-child health. Academic Society Journal, and from Korean Journal of Pediatrcs which were conducted between 1984 and 2002. The total numbers of the studies were 15. These studies were analyzed for 1) time of publication or presentation 2) thesis for a degree or nondegree 3) characteristics of subjects 4) sample size 5) research design 6) type of sensory stimualtion 7) meaurement tool 8) result. Result : 1)The most year of studies were the 1996's～ 2000's. 2) The degree of studies were higher than nondegree. 3) The most characteristics of subjects were the premature infants. 4) The most frequent sample sizes were 11-20. 5) The all research design was nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design in quasi experimental basis. 6) The most type of sensory stimulation was Field massage(tactile and kinesthetic). 7) The measurement tool used all objective tools. 8) The most research data were collected by the measure of the weight, heart rate, behavior state, respiration, stress hormon and positive results. Conclusion: 1) Human sensory stimulation did not seem to harm the infants. 2) several positive effects of sensory stimulation that have been reported previously must be reevaluated. 3) further research will be required large sample size, long-term outcome, individualized stimulation program, early parent-infant contact in order to enhance the development of attachment, to determine the underlying mechanism and theorical frame for these stimulation effect.

양육지식은 양육실천에 중요한 관련요인이며 양육지식과 양육실천 정도 사정은 영아기 부모에게 중요하다. 저자는 기 개발된 타당성이 검증된 양육지식 척도(CRKS)와 양육실천 척도(CRPS)의 자국내 도입을 위하여 Saramma와 Thomas가 기 개발한 도구들을 채택하였다. 예비연구가 국제적 언어학적 검증단계에 따라서 수행되었다. 조사대상자는 A의 보건소와 B의 오케타니 마사지실을 방문한 영아 부모 20명이었다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계와 Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test가 도구의 이해도와 일반적 특성에 따른 도구의 평균 정도를 비교하기 위해서 사용되었다. 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도는 Cronbach's alpha, Spearman Correlations을 사용하였다. 대상자의 평균 나이는 33.94(${\pm}2.99$)세였고 영아의 평균 월령은 3.35(${\pm}0.58$)개월였다. CRKS와 CRPS의 이해도는 각각 1.80(${\pm}0.65$)점과 1.33(${\pm}0.54$)점으로 사용하기 쉬웠다. CRKS의 평균점수는 22.50(${\pm}4.89$)점으로 중간점수였고 CRPS의 평균점수는 30.75(${\pm}2.04$)점으로 높았다. CRPS의 Cronbach's alpha는 식이영역이 0.71, 성장과 발달 영역이 0.64, 청결과 보호영역이 0.68, 영아자극 영역이 0.77였다. CRPS의 영아자극과 CRKS의 성장과 발달 영역은 유의한 상관관계가 있었다(r=.530, p=.016). 일반적 특성 중에서 의료인이 비의료인에 비해서 유의하게 CRKS 점수가 높았다(p=0.04). CRKS와 CRPS 척도는 지역사회와 임상실무에서 사용이 간편하고 쉽게 응답할 수 있는 도구로 사용되기를 기대한다.
