The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: The 1st hypothesis, 'Experimental group who has received aroma hand massage will have lower rate of pruritus than the control group' was accepted(t = -5.084, p = .001). The 2nd hypothesis, 'Experimental group who has received aroma hand massage will have lower rate of fatigue than the control group' was accepted(t = -2.557, p = .015). The 3rd hypothesis, 'Experimental group who has received aroma hand massage will have lower rate of stress than the control group' was accepted(t = -5.537, p = .001). Conclusion: The aroma hand massage has shown to be an effective nursing intervention to reduce the pruritus, fatigue and stress among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

However, nursing intervention by massage for middle-aged women is rarely practiced by nurses. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of the hand and arm massage as an independent nursing intervention tool for middle- aged women. The data used in this research were collected from forty-nine subjects using a nonequivalent control group non- synchronized design. Twenty-four persons for the experimental group and Twenty-five persons for the control group were selected from D city and C city from July 1997 to September 2000. Subjects' ages were between forty and fifty-six years old with mean the age of 45.6. Hand and arm massage developed by Cayce and Reilly was applied to the experimental group for a session of 15 minutes two or three times a week for four weeks. The instruments used for the measurement of the subjects' stress, anxiety, depression and the middle-life crisis were Langners's 22-item Self-rating Depression Scale, and Kim's Middle Life Crisis Scale(1988). These psychological factors were measured before and after the implementation of hand and arm massage. The data were analyzed with mean$\pm$s.d, percent, t-test, and a paired t-test. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Before the treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups. 2. After the treatment, there were significant differences in the stress and the occurrence of mid life crisis between the two groups. The findings suggest that the use of the life crisis. Therefore, it is recommended that hand and arm massage be used as an independent nursing intervention tool for middle-aged women.

목적: 아로마테라피는 진통 효과, 항우울 및 항불안 효과를 가지는 것으로 알려진 대체 의학의 한 종류이다. 본 연구는 유방암 환자에서 아로마 오일로 손 마사지를 교육시킨 후 대조군과 비교하여 활력 징후, 통증의 강도, 우울, 그리고 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하여 아로마 자가 치료의 효능을 검증 하고자 하였다. 방법: 20세 이상 유방암 환자 32명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 비맹검 무작위 방법을 이용하였다. 아로마 자가-치료군(n=15)은 2주간 집에서 스스로 아로마 오일(프랑켄센스 버가못, 라벤더)을 사용하여 하루 2회 손 마사지를 시행하도록 하였고, 대조군(n=17)에게는 어떠한 중재도 하지 않았다. 두 군 모두에서 0, 1, 3 주에 3회에 걸쳐 통증 강도(Visual Analogue Scale: VAS, $0{\sim}10cm$), 불안(State-anxiety in State Trait Anxiety Inventory: STAI) 및 우울(Beck Depression Inventory Scales: BDIS), 스트레스(Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument: BEPSI수정판) 등을 조사하여 두 군 간의 자가치료 전, 후의 변화량 차이를 비교하였다. 또한 아로마 자가치료 후 환자의 동반 증상 변화도 설문지를 통해 분석하였다. 결과: 통증 강도는 대조군과 비교시 아로마 자가 치료군에서 의미 있게 감소하였다(VAS score $0.83{\pm}1.01\;vs\;0.38{\pm}0.86$, P=0.0046). 동반 증상의 수도(P=0.044), 우울 정도(P=0.001) 그리고 불안정도도아로마 자가 치료군(P=0.008)에서 2주 후 의미 있게 감소하였으나, 대조군은 오히려 증가하였다. 그러나, 스트레스 정도는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다($0.05{\pm}0.85\;vs\;0.04{\pm}0.20$ P=0.1519), 우울 정도, 불안 정도, 스트레스 정도는 자가치료 순응도가 좋을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 아로마 자가 치료군에서 수축기 혈압은 약간 증가하였으나 통계학적 의의는 없었다($4.53{\pm}14.43mmHg\;vs\;0.0{\pm}7.22mmHg$, P=0.152). 자가 치료군에서 환자들은 두통(20%), 감각이상(6.7%), 오심(6.7%) 등의 부작용을 호소했으나, 이들 모두 일시적인 것으로 자가치료를 중단할 정도는 아니었다. 결론: 유방암 환자들에게 아로마 손 마사지 교육을 시킨 후 자기 스스로 2주간 시행한 결과, 통증강도, 우울 및 불안 정도가 의미 있게 감소하였다.

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.
