아로마풋스파가 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해, 스트레스를 가지고 있는 대학생 12명을 대상으로 대조군 6명, 아로마풋스파군 6명으로 나누었다. 대조군은 아무런 처치를 하지 않았으며, 아로마풋스파군은 주니퍼, 라벤더, 레몬 에센셜오일 5%를 이용한 족욕 10분과 마사지크림을 이용한 발마사지 10분을 주 2회 총 4주간 적용하였다. 평가방법은 뇌파를 검사함으로써 스트레스를 변화량을 측정하였다. 실험 전, 후의 뇌파변화를 측정한 결과, 아로마풋스파군의 Alpha파(Z=-2.364, p<.05)와 SMR파(Z=-1.981, p<.05)는 대조군에 비해 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 아로마풋스파군의 실험 전, 후의 비교에서는 Theta파(Z=-2.366, p<.05)의 수치는 감소하였고, Alpha파(Z=-2.371, p<.05)의 수치는 증가하였다. 즉, 에센셜오일을 이용한 족욕과 발마사지를 실시한 아로마풋스파는 Alpha파의 증가를 일으키고, 이는 근육의 이완으로 인한 혈액순환으로 뇌파에 변화를 주었음을 알 수 있다. 또한 SMR파가 증가함은 Alpha파의 변화와도 관계가 있음을 알 수 있는데 스트레스 완화로 인해 SMR파가 증가되었음 증명해 주고 있다. 따라서 아로마풋스파는 스트레스를 감소시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

다양한 산업시설에서 배출되는 휘발성유기화합물질(VOCs)은 대기를 오염시키고 인체에 악취 물질로 작용하게 된다. 이를 제어하기 위해 기존의 악취 방지시설을 이용하여 배출가스를 처리하고 있지만 휘발성유기화합물질 제거의 경우 기술적인 한계점이 존재하기 때문에 이를 개선하기 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선별 실험을 통해 식물정유 물질 및 금속산화물의 종류를 선정하고 최적 혼합 비율을 결정함으로써 분사형 탈취제를 개발하였다. 식물정유물질 및 금속 첨가제의 종류와 혼합비율의 경우 각각 라벤더 45%, 편백나무 45%, 이산화티타늄 10%로 결정하였다. 또한 최적 휘발성유기화합물질 제거 조건을 도출하기 위해 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 희석배수, 분사량, 온도에 따른 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 희석배수의 감소, 분사량 및 온도의 증가에 따라 휘발성유기화합물질 제거 효율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나 경제성을 고려하여 반응가스 25 L에 대한 탈취제 최적 희석배수의 경우 200배, 분사량은 6 mL로 결정하였다. 또한 반응속도 상수 및 활성화 에너지를 예측함으로써 혼합탈취제의 우수성과 현장 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 도출된 반응 속도식을 이용하여 기존의 탈취제와 비교한 결과 활성화에너지가 약 3~4배 낮게 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aromatherapy on stress responses, autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, and blood pressure in patients hospitalized to receive coronary angiography (CAG). Methods: A non-equivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design was used. The subjects were patients admitted to the day angiography room to receive CAG at E University Hospital (34 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). The experimental group treatment was inhalation of the aroma oil blended with lavender, ylang-ylang, and neroli at a ratio of 4:2:1 twice before and after CAG. The measurements of stress index, ANS activity, and blood pressure were performed 5 times as follows: at admission, at pre-CAG after treatment I, at post-CAG, 2 hours after treatment II, and 4 hours after treatment II. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test and repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: Significant interactions in the high frequency of ANS (F=5.58, p=.005) were observed between group and time. Stress index (z=2.14, p=.016), systolic blood pressure (z=4.14, p<.005), and diastolic blood pressure (z=3.28, p=.001) were significantly different between the experimental and control groups after 4 hours of treatment II. Conclusion: The findings showed that aromatherapy was not effective before CAG, but was effective after CAG. Therefore, aromatherapy can be used as a nursing intervention for patients receiving CAG.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aroma-necklace application on perceived stress, symptoms of stress and changes in autonomic nervous system among nursing students in clinical training. Methods: A research design for this study was a non-equivalent control group, non-synchronized pre-post test. The experimental group (n=39) underwent aroma inhalation by necklace which contains an essential oil mixture of lavender and sweet orange mixture in ratio of 2:1 for 2 weeks while the control group (n=36) received placebo therapy. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) and analyzed using the PASW 18.0 program. Results: The perceived stress scores and scores of peripheral manifestations in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group. All indices of HRV were significantly different between the two groups. LF norm and LF/HF ratio in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and HF norm in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: It can be suggested that aroma-necklace application was effective in decreasing perceived stress and peripheral manifestations of stress and in changing HRV indices among nursing students in clinical training.

Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of aroma inhalation therapy on heart rate variability and anxiety in the context of urodynamics study. Method: The data were collected from 64 patients who were receiving urodynamics at the C University Medical Center in Seoul, 23 in the experimental group, 22 in the placebo group and 19 in the control group. In the experiment, the subjects of the experimental group inhaled a mixture of lavender and bergamot for 5 min, the subjects of the placebo group inhaled geranyl acetate oil for 5 min and the subjects of the control group relaxed for 5 min. The instruments used in this study included the state anxiety inventory and heart rate variability. Result: The score of state anxiety was no significant differences between the three groups after aroma-inhalation. Also, the sympathetic nerve activity and parasympathetic nerve activity was no significant differences between the three groups after aroma-inhalation. Autonomic nerve balance was maintained significantly in the experimental group as compared to the control groups after aroma-inhalation. Conclusion: The aroma inhalation therapy was very effective in balancing the autonomic nervous system in the patients undergoing urodynamic study.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to explain the effects of aromatherapy massage on the preoperative anxiety of hemorrhoidectomy patients, and to provide the effective and holistic nursing care to them. Method: The research design was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The data were collected during the period from November 1 to November 30, 2003 at K-Hospital in Seoul. The subjects were fifty patients who were to have a hemorrhoidectomy under general anesthesia. They were assigned to two groups, 25 subjects to the experimental group and 25 subjects to the control group. The State Anxiety Inventory tool was used to measure state-anxiety on all patients the day before surgery. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate were measured on the day before surgery and the preoperative period. The experimental group received aromatherapy massage on the hand with lavender oil. Data were analyzed by $x^2$ test, independent t-test, paired t-test. Result: 1. Hypothesis 1, that the level of preoperative state-anxiety of the experimental group who received aromatherapy massage would be lower than that of the control group who did not received aromatherapy was supported(p=.047). 2. Hypothesis 2was that the Physiological index of the preoperative anxiety of the experimental group who received aromatherapy would be lower than that of the control group who did not received aromatherapy. The 1st subhypothesis that "the level of the preoperative systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the experimental group would be less than that of the control group" was not supported. Conclusion: Aromatherapy massage can be regarded as a partially effective nursing intervention that relives the preoperative anxiety of surgical patients and stabilizes vital signs.

Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of aroma hand massage on pruritus, fatigue and stress of the patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This study was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Study sample was conveniently recruited from two hospitals(28 for experimental and 30 for control group). The experimental group went through aroma hand massage on hand without AVF for 5 min for 12 times mixed with Lavender, Chamomile and Geranium oils in the ratio of 4 : 4 : 2, which was diluted 3% with sweet almond crrier oil 100 ml. 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. Therefore, the massage is needed to continuously be applied to hemodialysis patients to improve their quality of life.

This study was to determine whether the massage would enhance the physical relaxation in healthy women, and whether the effects of massage on the relaxation would be different by the applied regions of the body. Five healthy young women participated in the two test sessions of back and lower extremities massage in a chamber controlled at an air temperature of $28^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of $50{\pm}5%$. The slow stroke massage with lavender aroma oil for 30 minutes was applied to the subjects with a 10-min. and a 20-min rest time before and after the application, respectively. Rectal temperature decreased and the chest and thigh skin temperatures increased with the massage application, and the changes of the temperatures were greater with lower extremities massage than with back massage. Heart rate also decreased during massage period and tended to be lower with lower extremities massage. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased with lower extremities massage. These results show that the slow stroke massage for 30 minutes can induce physiological responses related with the enhanced relaxation in healthy women, and lower extremities massage is more effective on the physical relaxation rather than back massage.
