Background and objective: Recreation or activities in forest are regarded as therapy. Many forest therapy programs have been developed and assessed in the domestic. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the forest therapy program on academic and job-seeking stress in college students. Methods: Thirty five subjects were selected as the experimental group and 25 as the control group, and 29 subjects in the experimental group and 11 in the control group participated in the follow-up test to verify the persistence of stress reduction effects. The forest therapy program was carried out once a week for 2 hours each from September 4 to December 4, 2018, adding up to total eight sessions. Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant reduction in both academic stress and job-seeking stress, whereas the control group did not. For the persistence of the forest therapy program, the experimental group did not show a statistically significant difference between the posttest and the follow-up test, and thus the stress reduction effect was maintained. Conclusion: This study proved the reduction of academic and job-seeking stress in forest therapy programs and the persistence of the stress reduction effect of the forest therapy program. The result is consistent with the Stress Recovery Theory (SRT) that shows the stress reduction effect of nature. In addition, it has significance in that it has verified that the program using the forest on campus can reduce stress of most college students.

Recently the Korean government provided forest recreation areas through developing evaluation index of rural areas amenity resources, forest therapy and recreational forest for revitalization of rural areas and national health promotion. However, what the public wants is just one place which includes all recreational facilities. GRAT tourism means Green, Rest and Therapy-Tourism. It is a new concept of recreational forests. This study defines GRAT-Tourism, the new concept of recreational activity and discusses the development of the GRAT-Tourism Evaluation Index.

The purpose of this study was to determine reliability and validity of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) now in use for the first time in neck pain patients of Korea. Fifty subjects (26 males and24 female) with neck pain enrolled in the study. They completed a standardized self-administered questionnaire that include pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Reliability was determined by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha by internal consistency. Validity was examined by correlating the NDI scores to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. The Test-retest reliability of the translated versions of the NDI was good ICC (2,1) = .90 (95%CI .85 .95). Cronbach's alpha value for NDI was found to be .95 and this was statistically significant (p<.05). The criterion-related validity coefficients was .72 (p<.01). We conclude that the Korean version of NDI has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of neck pain.

스트레스가 많은 사회에 사는 현대인은 신체의 면역력이 저하되어 그 여파로 국민의료비가 눈에 띄게 증가하고 있다. 약과 수술에 의한 서양의학도 그 권위가 점점 떨어지게 되었고 여기서 새삼스레 근래에 와서는 삼림(森林)이 갖는 쾌적성 증진효과나 치유효과에 관심이 쏠려 있어 삼림요법(森林療法)의 발전을 위한 몇 가지 과제를 여기에서 생각해보고자 한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of joint mobilization and kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Thirty subjects were selected and divided into three groups: group 1 was treated with joint mobilization, group 2 was treated with kinesio taping and group 3 was treated with joint mobilization and kinesio taping. Joint mobilization was performed for 20 minutes three times a week for a period of 4 weeks, after which tape was applied for the same period of time and it was not exceeded 24 hours. Pain, range of motion and knee function were then assessed to identify the effectiveness. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment, while active and passive range of motion (AROM, PROM) were assessed using smart phones application, and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) was used to assess knee function. Results: After intervention, the joint mobilization group and kinesio taping group showed significant improvements in VAS, AROM, PROM and KOOS (Symptom, Pain, ADL, QOL), whereas no significant difference was found in sport/recreation. The joint mobilization with kinesio taping group showed significant improvements in all items, and a significant increase was found in AROM and PROM compared to the other two groups. Conclusion: We found that joint mobilization and kinesio taping effectively improved pain, range of motion and knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, but that application of joint mobilization with kinesio taping was most effective.

The aim of study was to assess the effectiveness of dementia elderly persons on the cognitive function, Activities of Daily Living(ADL) and balance-performing ability the group therapeutic exercise programs. Fifteen community-dwelling subjects participated in this study. An 4-week group therapeutic exercise program, including strengthening and balance training, breathing and gait exercise, and recreation, consisted of activities related to daily living. The Mini-Mental State Examination-korean(MMSE-K), Modified Barthel Index(MBI), Berg Balance Scale(BBS), and Timed Up & Go (TUG) test were measured during before and after exercise points The results of this study were as follows : 1) After eight weeks, the MMSE-K and MBI total scores were significantly increased to more after than before(p<.05, p<.01). 2) in the MBI contents, personal hygiene, dressing, ambulation and chair, bed transfers scores were significant increased to after. 3) after BBS, TUG scores were statistically significant higher than the before scores(p<.05, p<.05, p<.01). These findings suggest that group therapeutic exercise program can be used to improve the cognitive function, ADL and balance-performing ability in dementia elderly persons.

최근 각광받고 있는 산림치유를 위해서는 산림 내 기상조건의 시공간분포를 기초로 활동시간 및 공간을 계획할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국립용현자연휴양림에 기상관측 장비를 설치하여 장기 기상모니터링을 실시하고, 해당 자료를 통해 기상자료의 정밀 시공간 분포를 파악하여 산림휴양 치유 활동을 지원하고자 하였다. 먼저, Semi-Variogram을 추정하는 네 가지 모형을 통계적으로 비교한 결과, 모두 유사한 결과를 보이나, Circular 모형을 활용하는 것이 보다 정확할 수 있을 것으로 판단되어 본 연구에서는 Circular 모형의 결과를 제시하였다. Circular 모형으로 추정된 총 128개의 Semi-Variogram을 통해 계절 및 시간대에 따른 온 습도의 공간분포를 확인할 수 있었다. Partial Sill 값으로 표출한 Boxplot을 통해 보다 확연한 계절 및 시간대별 분포 차이를 확인할 수 있었는데, 그 결과 봄철과 이른 오전 시간대에는 온 습도가 모두 균일한 미기상 공간분포를 보였고, 여름과 이른 오후에는 온 습도 모두 불균일한 결과를 보였다. 봄철과 이른 오전 시간대에는 산림활동 시 공간의 이동에 따른 기상조건 변화가 적으므로, 휴양과 치유에 보다 긍정적일 수 있는 반면 상대적으로 불균일한 여름철과 이른 오후 시간에는 기상조건에 따른 위험이 따를 수 있으므로 별도의 준비가 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 한 곳의 자연휴양림을 대상으로 사계절 기상조건의 정밀 시공간분포를 추정하여 계절별, 시간대별 세부적인 결과를 제시한 것에 큰 의미가 있다.

본 연구는 도시숲을 활용한 주말 회기형 산림치유 프로그램이 가족 응집력과 가족관계 향상에 미치는 효과와 프로그램에 대한 부모의 만족도를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 2018년 4월부터 8월까지 인천대공원에서 진행되는 주말 산림치유 프로그램에 참가한 가족 21팀(65명)을 대상으로 하였고, 주1회 2시간씩 총 4회 8시간으로 가족 숲체험 활동과 산림치유요법을 활용한 프로그램을 새롭게 구성하여 실행하였다. 연구결과 주말 가족대상 산림치유 프로그램은 가족응집력 및 가족관계 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 부모의 만족도 분석 결과 대부분의 항목에서 높은 만족도를 보였다. 따라서 산림치유활동은 가족의 응집력 및 가족관계를 개선함으로써 가족의 결속이나 정서적 유대와 같은 기능이 중요하게 인식되는 현대사회에 효과적인 치유활동으로 적합하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 추후 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 가족을 대상으로 확대 시행하며, 가족의 요구를 반영한 다양하고 흥미로운 가족체험 산림치유 프로그램 개발이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.

In the Study of Poem in Health-Preservation, the results were as follows : Though poetry as therapy is a relatively new development in the expressive arts, it is as old as the first chants sung around the tribal fires of primitive peoples. For many centuries the link between poetry and medicine remained obscure. The chant/song/poem is what heals the heart and soul and is used for health-Preservation and the well-being. Poetry Therapy began to flourish in the hands of professional in various disciplines, including rehabilitation, education, library science, recreation, and the creative arts. Mental health professional were exploring the therapeutic value of literary materials, especially of poetry. Their contribution to the emerging discipline was two-fold : 1) emphasis on the evocative value of literature, particularly poetry; and 2) recognition of the beneficial potential of having clients write either their response to poems written by others or original material, drawing on the clients' own experiences and emotions. Especially in Oriental Medicine, the therapy is based on controlling of Mind(心). And it is in harmony with Qi-circulation(氣-循環), so smoothing the circulation of meridians, strengthened Essential-material(精), Qi(氣), Sprit(神).
