Abstract

This study is an experimental study on the single group pre-post test design for the effects of the aroma inhalation method with roll-on on stress, pain, depression and blood pressure of the elderly. 33 elderly people who met the selection criteria participated among the elderly using the senior citizen clubs located in S city, Gyeonggi-do. The data collection period was from November 14, 2022 to December 19, 2022. A questionnaire consisting of stress, pain, depression, and blood pressure was measured before and after the aroma roll-on inhalation intervention. The components of aroma essential oil included Marjoram, Geranium, Peppermint and Orange sweet that were diluted in Jojoba oil which was the carrier oil. The aroma inhalation method with roll-on was carried out 3 times day for 4 weeks. In the result of this study, the aroma inhalation method with roll-on were statistically significant differences in stress(t=2.63, p=.013), pain(t=2.46, p=.019), and systolic blood pressure(t=3.01, p=.005) of the participants. Therefore, aroma roll-on therapy is expected to be available as a useful nursing intervention method for reducing stress, relieving pain, and managing blood pressure in the elderly using the senior citizen clubs.

본 연구는 아로마 롤온 흡입법이 경로당 이용 노인의 스트레스, 통증, 우울 및 혈압에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 원시실험연구이다. 대상자는 경기도 S시에 위치한 경로당 2곳에 등록된 노인 가운데 선정기준에 부합한 33명이 참여하였으며 자료수집 기간은 2022년 11월 14일부터 2022년 12월 19일까지 시행하였다. 아로마 롤온 흡입 전후에 경로당에 직접 방문하여 혈압 측정 후 자가설문으로 구성된 스트레스, 통증, 우울을 조사하였다. 실험군에게 적용한 에센셜 오일은 마조람, 제라늄, 페페민트, 오렌지 스위트를 캐리어 오일인 호호바오일에 희석한 것으로 하였다. 중재는 4주 동안 1일 3회 시행하였다. 연구결과, 아로마 롤온 흡입법은 대상자의 스트레스(t=2.63, p=.013), 통증(t=2.46, p=.019), 수축기 혈압(t=3.01, p=.005)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 아로마 롤온 흡입법은 경로당 이용 노인의 스트레스 감소 및 통증 완화, 혈압 관리에 유용한 간호중재로 활용가능할 것으로 기대된다.
