Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of belly button healing by measuring the EEG activity after developing and applying belly button healing to high school students. This study was conducted on 19 high school students (8 boys and 11 girls). The students who participated in this study underwent belly button healing for about 5 minutes twice per daily (morning and evening) for 2 weeks. In this experiment, an electroencephalogram (EEG) of the subject was measured in a state of arousal and steady state and the change in EEG was observed during the stroop task. Subsequently, belly button healing was performed for about 5 minutes with a one minute break and the same procedure was then repeated. As a result of the study, the reduction of the M-Beta wave, H-Beta wave and Gamma wave was lower compared to the arousal state due to the navel healing program. The reduction of the Alpha wave and SMR wave also was decreased compared to the steady state by the navel healing program. This suggests that belly button healing has improved the concentration, immersion, and psychological stability of the subjects in stress situations. This is consistent with the participants' interviews after the research. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, because belly button healing is effective in relieving stress in high school students, such a program will be needed for students who are experiencing academic stress. Second, because belly button healing can help increase high school students' concentration, it is recommended to implement belly button healing before addressing certain complex or difficult tasks.

본 연구에서는 고등학생을 대상으로 배꼽힐링 프로그램을 개발하고 적용한 후, 뇌파 검사를 통해 뇌파 활성도를 측정함으로써 그에 따른 효과성을 검증하는데 그 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구에 A고등학생 19명(남학생 8명, 여학생 11명)이 참여 하였으며 실험에 참여한 학생들은 2주 동안 매일 2회씩(아침, 저녁) 5분간 배꼽힐링 프로그램을 실시하였다. 효과검증을 위해 피험자의 각성상태 및 안정상태에서의 뇌파를 측정하였으며 스트루프 과제중의 뇌파의 변화를 관찰하였다. 이후 배꼽힐링을 약 5분간 실시하고 1분간의 휴식을 취한 후 동일한 과정을 반복하였다. 연구 결과, 배꼽힐링 프로그램을 통해 스트루프 과제 중 각성상태 대비 M-Beta파, H-Beta파, 그리고 Gamma파의 감소량이 줄어들었으며 안정상태 대비 Alpha파, SMR파의 감소량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 배꼽힐링을 통해 피험자들이 스트레스 상황에서의 집중력, 몰입력 등이 향상되었으며 심리적 안정상태도 유지한다는 것을 시사한다. 이는 학생들의 연구 후 인터뷰 내용과도 일치 한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결론을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 배꼽힐링 프로그램은 고등학생의 스트레스 해소에 효과가 있기 때문에, 학업 스트레스를 많이 받는 수험생을 대상으로 배꼽힐링 프로그램을 실시할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 배꼽힐링 프로그램은 고등학생의 집중력과 몰입력을 증가시키는 효과가 있기 때문에, 복잡하거나 어려운 특정 과제를 해결하기 전에 배꼽힐링 프로그램을 실시할 필요가 있다.
