Purpose: Women who undergo gynecological surgery have moderate and severe sensation and distress of pain despite the advent of patient controlled analgesia (PCA). The purposes of this study were to describe perception of non-pharmacological therapy for postoperative pain control and examine changes of pain sensation and distress in women who had gynecological surgery. Method: The sample consisted of 52 women who were having gynecological surgery. Subjects who agreed to participate in the study were asked for their opinion about non-pharmacological approaches for postoperative pain control using a structured study questionnaire. Pain sensation and distress were assessed by VAS in the morning and afternoon for 2 days following the surgery. Result: About 50% of the subjects thought that non-pharmacological methods such as relaxation, music, massage, or meditation would be helpful for their postoperative pain control. If both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy were given for pain control, 96% of subjects reported it would be effective. Nurses can apply techniques of relaxation, deep breathing, meditation, and music therapy to surgical patients along with PCA. Expected sensation and distress of pain was high, but pain levels gradually decreased over time. However, subjects experienced moderate levels of pain postoperatively although they used PCA. Conclusion: The effect of a combined method of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approach needs to be tested if postoperative pain is to be decreased more.

Purpose : Complementary and alternative therapies(CAT) are defined as those treatments and healthcare practices not taught widely in medical schools, not generally used in hospitals, and not usually reimbursed by health care insurance. Recently, CAT have become increasingly popular with health care consumers and health care professionals. This study investigated nurses' perceptions and experiences with CAT. Method: 124 nurses who were working in university hospitals in Seoul and Inchon were randomly selected as participants for this study. They answered open and closed questionnaires on their Perceptions and experiences with CAT. Results: Most of the subjects recognized the existence of CAT (86.3%), and expected a treatment effect from CAT when it is combined with conventional therapy (84.7%). Nurses accepted CAT positively as complement for conventional therapy and useful modalities of psychological support when its effects have been proven scientifically. Forty nurses (32.3%) had learned CAT including soojichim, aroma therapy, relaxation, meditation, music therapy, massage, and acupressure. Eight nurses (6.5%) used CAT with patients including soojichim, hand massage, relaxation, and music therapy. Conclusion: In spite of the nurses' positive perceptions of CAT, the nurses' professional experiences were quite limited. Nurses need authorized training programs and continuing education opportunities in CAT. This would increase their ability to use CAT. But to improve scientific knowledge more evidence based research is.

집중력은 학습능력에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 집중력 개선은 학습능력을 높이는 데 매우 중요하다. 디지털 키즈(digital kids)는 어려서부터 게임과 같은 중독적인 미디어에 익숙해져 있어서 기존의 교수학습방법만으로는 그들에게 관심을 끌기는 어려워졌다. 따라서 집중력이 약한 학생들을 위한 새로운 교육방법의 도입이 불가피하게 되었다. 본 실험은 집중력 향상을 위한 특정 기능성 게임을 통한 훈련이 집중력 향상에 도움이 될 것이라는 가설을 증명하기 위해 진행되었고, 초등학생 4명씩 집중력 훈련 훈련집단, 명상음악 훈련집단, 통제집단으로 나누어 실험하였으며, QEEG-4 장비를 사용하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 특정 기능성 게임을 통하여 집중력 향상이 가능하고, 결과적으로 학습능력을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 증명하였다. 실험 결과 집중력 훈련 게임과 명상 음악은 피험자들의 집중력을 향상시키는데 효과가 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특정 기능성 게임은 보통 사람은 집중하기 어려운 명상과는 달리 호기심, 도전과제, 경쟁과 보상 등의 재미 요소를 내포하고 있다. 게임은 청소년들에게 더 이상 부정적이지 않으며 다양한 형태로 사회에 도움을 줄 것이다.

본 연구에서는 행동활성화체계(behavioral activation system : BAS)와 행동억제체계(behavioral inhibition system BIS)의 개인차가 음향감성에 의한 전전두엽의 비대칭성과 심박동변이도(heart rate variability : HRV)에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 피험자들을 BAS와 BIS 민감성의 고저에 따라 네 집단으로 분류하고 명상음악과 소음이 제시되는 동안 전전두엽의 비대칭성과 심박동변이도를 측정하였다. 전전두엽의 비대칭성을 측정한 결과, 명상음악에서는 BAS가 BIS에 비하여 민감도가 상대적으로 높을수록 전전두엽 편측치(asymmetry score)가 증가하였고, 소음조건에서는 BAS와 BIS 중 어느 하나라도 민감도가 높으면 소음과 같은 부정감성을 유발시키는 음 환경에서는 전전두엽의 편측치가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 부정감성이 상대적으로 우측 전전두엽의 활성화를 증가시키는 반면, 긍정감성은 좌측 전전두엽의 활성화를 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다. 심박동변이도를 각 주파수 대역별로 전력을 분석한 결과, 명상음악에서는 BAS가 높고 BIS는 낮은 집단이 BAS와 BIS가 모두 낮은 집단에 비하여 심박동변이조의 감성평가지표로 알려진 MF/(LF+HF)가 유의하게 높았다. 또한 BAS가 높고 BIS는 낮은 집단은 명상음악 청취시가 소음 청취시에 비하여 MF/(LF+HF)가 더 높은 경향을 보였는데, 이는 BAS가 높고 BIS는 낮은 집단이 다른 집단에 비하여 긍정감성에 더 민감함을 의미한다. 본 연구결과는 전전두엽 비대칭성과 심박동변이도, 특히 MF/(LF+HF)가 긍정 및 부정감성을 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

As there has recently been growing interest in Alternative Medicine, Oriental Medicals have been trying to incorporate Alternative Medicine into Oriental Medicine evolutionarily. The purpose of this study is to make a comparative study of the historical background and present condition, the view of life, the principle of therapeutics, and the various therapeutics in Alterative Medicine and Oriental Medicine from the viewpoint of Oriental Medicine. The conclusion of this study is; 1. Although Alternative Medicine has become influential mainly in the effort of finding a solution the limit of western medicine, the clinical effect of Alternative Medicine should be verified continuously. 2. Alternative Medicine includes all of the therapeutics such as Traditional Medicine, Naturopathy, Complementary Medicine and Selective Medicine whose characters are different from Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine can be regarded as a sort of Alternative Medicine. 3. The holistic, systematic view of life of Alternative Medicine, from which viewpoint human considered as a harmonious vital existence, is a sort of recurrence to the view of Hipporcrates. 4. From the viewpoint of Alternative Medicine, a disease is not partial but holistic disorder and is treated by utilizing natural products as a medicine based on the principle that pursues harmonious and balanced psychosomatic function. This principle of therapeutic is the same as Oriental Medicine is based on. 5. Alternative Medicine may be classified largely five category, (1) Eastern Therapy, (2) Manipulative Therapy, (3) Natural Therapy, (4) Active Therapy, (5) Therapy Involving External Powers. 6. Besides Alternative Medicine which is used in clinical treatment, Massage, Homeopathy, Bach Flower remedies, Meditation, and other Music Therapy and Color Therapy is relatively accordant with therapeutics in Oriental Medicine and should be more actively accepted in clinics and improved.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand the research trend of reports on forest therapy so far and analyze the Korean medicine therapy being applied in forest therapy programs. Methods We ran a keyword search on domestic databases with the following keyword 'forest therapy, forest healing, forest treatment, recreational forest, forest bath, forest experience'. The search took place in December 2014 and there was no limit to search time. A total of 334 forest therapy articles have been selected. Results The number of research on forest therapy continued to rise from 1985, with 334 articles being published from 84 journals. When those 188 articles were sorted by their contents and methods, except 146 articles of survey on simple satisfaction, recognition and visting, 94 were clinical studies, 79 were literature studies, 15 were experimental studies. Of the 94 clinical researches, there were 52 CCTs (Controled Clinical Trials), 39 ODs (efficacy studies with either a controlled or an Other than controlled Design) and 3 RCTs (Randomized Clinical Trials). Among the clinical researches, there were a total of 21 studies that used Korean Medicine programs, and meditation was the most popular, being used in 18 studies. Herbal food and tea therapy and Qigong were used in 3 studies each, and Korean medicine music programs were used in 2 studies. Conclusions A systematic and standardized Korean medicine forest therapy program must be developed, and based on the program, more research treating diseases should be conducted.

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) as nursing interventions for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA statement guidelines. To search for studies related to the effects of CAT applied as nursing care in OA patients, a combination of the keywords 'osteoarthritis,' 'complementary and alternative therapy,' and 'nursing care' were used. Finally, 12 articles retrieved from five electronic databases were included for the analysis. Results: Twelve studies were classified into seven interventions: Tai chi exercise, yoga, qigong, massage. flax seed compress, music, and meditation relaxation, administered by a nurse, and were RCTs. Outcome variables used for pain evaluation were WOMAC and VAS. The duration of interventions varied from 2 to 12 weeks. All twelve interventions had a positive effect on the outcome variables. Conclusion: CAT applied in nursing care for patients with OA significantly reduced pain and improved mobility. When planning a nursing intervention program, it is recommended to combine multiple therapies, considering the duration of effects. In addition, it is recommended to design the study as an RCT to secure the evidence for practical application.
