최근 의학의 발달로 평균수명이 연장되면서 고연령층의 건 강문제에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는데, 특히 장년층 이상에 서 배뇨장애를 호소하는 환자가 빠른 속도로 늘어나고 있다. 노인의 경우, 특별한 질병이 없어도 하부요로의 변화나 수면 중 항이뇨호르몬의 과다분비 등에 의해 노인성 요실금이 발생 할 수 있으며, 그 외에 뇌졸중이나 파킨슨씨병 등 뇌의 기질적 인 병변으로 방광의 비억제성 수축 또는 절박성 요실금이 악화 될 수 있고, 당뇨, 고혈압, 외상 등으로 요절박, 요실금, 요주 저, 약뇨, 야간빈뇨, 잔뇨감 등의 다양한 배뇨장애 증상이 나 타날 수 있다(Korea Continence Society, 2005).
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 aromainhalation. 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.
