Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program on the cognition, anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior of elderly with dementia. The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasi-experimental study where 43 subjects were divided into two groups. Aromatherapy and foot reflex massage was administered to the experimental group (N=21), and no treatment was administered to the control group (N=22). The data was analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, while the repeated measures of ANOVA were utilized with the SPSS/Win 18.0 program. The experimental group did not show significant differences in cognitive function; however, it showed significant differences in anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior in relation to the control group. Thus this research suggests aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program as nursing intervention to improve the quality of life of elderly with dementia.

본 연구는 치매노인에 대한 간호중재로 향요법 발반사 마사지 프로그램을 적용하여 인지, 불안, 공격행동 및 배회행동에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 설계는 비동등성 대조군 전후 시차 설계의 유사실험설계이다. 연구대상자는 실험군 21명, 대조군 22명으로 실험군에는 향요법 발반사 마사지를 2주간 적용하였고 대조군은 2주간 무처치 하여 전체 실험기간은 총 4주간이었다. 자료의 처리는 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 대상자의 일반적 특성과 집단간 동질성 검정은 Chi검정과 t검정, 종속 변수에 대한 검정은 t검정, 대조군과 실험군의 사전, 처치 1주, 처치 2주의 효과 변수의 변화에 대한 분석은 반복측정분산분석(Repeated measure ANOVA), 사후분석은 Bonferroni로 검정하였고 유의수준은 p<.05로 하였다. 향요법 발반사 마사지를 받은 실험군에서 불안, 공격행동 및 배회행동의 감소를 가져와 치매노인 삶의 질 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있는 간호중재로 사료된다.
