Method: Study design was an interventional study compared with exposed (case) and non-exposed (control) to the aromatherapy. Subjects were total 47 operating theater nurses form a university hospital in Busan; 23 cases and 24 controls. lavender, chamomile roman, clary sage essential oil were mixed in the ratio of 3:2:1 for the aromatherapy. And, the two times exposure performed for 5 minutes during the 15 days from January 19 to February 2, 2011; in case of the days` attendant about at 7 am and 5 pm, and in case of ``OFF`` about at 10 am and 5 pm. The stress level were measured and assessed at the 0 day (pre) and the 15 days (post) with the voluntary questionnaire survey as the three types; the perceived stress, job stress and stress response. The data analysis was performed using SPSS (ver. 18.0, Chicago, Illinois, USA) Level of the stress presented and compared as the score out of 100. The comparison performed by χ²-test and paired t-test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Almost the stress level improved significantly in the cases. Score of the perceived stress level was decreased from 64 to 46 (P<0.001). Total score of the job stress was decreased from 74 to 63 (P<0.001), as the sub-elements mainly related with nursing job from 76 to 66 (P<0.002), hospitality from 59 to 53 (P<0.052), role play from 77 to 65 (P<0.001), operating room`s environmental factor from 78 to 66 (P<0.001), communication and relationship from 79 to 66 (P<0.001). Total score of the stress response also improved from 50 to 40 (P<0.001), as the sub-elements mainly related with physical response from 52 to 43 (P<0.005), emotional response from 49 to 39 (P<0.001), from the pre- to - post, respectively. Change of the score was the biggest (minus 18.0) in the perceived stress. And for sub-elements of the job stress, communication and relationship (minus 12.6) and role play (minus 12.3) were bigger than hospitality (minus 5.9), and for sub-elements of the stress response emotional response (minus 10.0) was bigger than physical response (minus 9.4). In contrast to those results, there was no differences in the controls. Conclusion: Stress relief effects of this aromatherapy was apparent. The use of aromatherapy would be recommendable as a helpful manuever for stress control and the better performance of the operating theater nurses.

하양숙,조선희,최명애,김금순,이명선,조소연 대한스트레스학회 2012 스트레스硏究 Vol.20 No.3

The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of somatic symptoms and psychological symptoms of stress among Korean adults. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. A sample size of 815 male and 1,554 female adults residing in South Korea completed the instruments of perceived stress, symptoms of stress, and way of coping. Data was analyzed by multivariate regression. Influencing factors for eleven symptoms of stress were as follows: a) subjective health status, having disease, perceived stress level were significant influencing factors for all symptoms of stress; b) problem-focused coping was a significant influencing factor for psychological symptoms of stress; c) emotional-focused coping was significant influencing factor for both psychosomatic and psychological symptoms of stress; d) age, gender, subjective health status, having disease, and perceived stress level were significant influencing factors for psychosomatic symptoms of stress; e) emotion-focused coping predicted psychosomatic symptoms of stress. Feeling healthier and perceiving a lower stress level predicted more psychological symptoms of stress. In contrast, using more emotion-focused coping was significantly associated with more psychosomatic symptoms of stress. The findings suggest that community health providers need to develop interventions to aware coping strategies and to enforce problem-focused coping skills for community-dwelling Korean adults with psychosomatic complaints.

어윤경 한국교육방법학회 2005 교육방법연구 Vol.17 No.2

The stress cerception and coping of Elementary school students are different each other. And the stress perception level of stimulus in environment is affected in stress coping skill of children. Most cases of that reason due to their psychological resources. School is the place that social relation make for children at first. And most of all as their purpose is school-work(learning). a lot of stress of children is related to school stress. So the instruction environment of school is affected in the stratage for stress manage. Therefore the environment of open education is necessary for elementary school students. This study shows indivisual resourse that have a effect on school stress perception and coping skill of children are self-efficacy and internal locus of control in affective aspect and the creative thinking skill, social problem solving skill in cognitive aspect. First conclusion of this study is that school stress in the relation with teacher have a narrow experience under open education environment. And the children under open education environment manage more than the children under the traditional instruction environment in stress of life problem, personal relation problem. Second conclusion of this study is that even though the type of the stress changes the coping skill of children have consistency. 동일한 스트레스 사건에 대해서도 개인에 따라 스트레스를 지각하고 대처하는 양상이 다르게 나타난다. 특히, 아동의 경우 환경적 자극을 스트레스로 인식하는 데에 스트레스 대처방식이 중요한 영향을 미치는데, 이러한 점은 아동이 그들이 소유하고 있는 심리적 개인자원에 기인하는 것이라 볼 수 있다. 아동에게 있어 학교는 사회관계가 맺어지는 장일 뿐만 아니라 학업성취의 목적을 갖고 생활하는 곳이기 때문에 아동의 일상 스트레스 중 많은 부분이 학교 스트레스와 관련이 있다. 따라서 학교에서 어떠한 교수ㆍ학습환경을 조성하느냐가 아동의 스트레스 관리에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 이에 열린교육 환경의 필요성이 대두되는데, 열린교육이란 교육의 규격화, 획일화, 형식화, 비인간화 경향을 지양하고 학교제도, 교육내용에 대한 결정, 수업 방법 등 여러 측면에서 보다 자유롭고 다양한 대안을 모색함으로써 인간 교육의 가치실현에 보다 충실한 교육이라고 할 수 있다. 연구결과 첫째, 아동은 교사관계 학교스트레스를 열린교육 실시과정에서 더 적게 경험하였으며, 열린교육 실시과정 아동이 학교생활에서 당면문제 스트레스, 대인관계 스트레스에 직면했을 때, 일반교육 실시과정 아동보다 더 효과적으로 대처하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이를통해 열린교육 환경이 아동의 스트레스 대처능력을 향상시키는데 긍정적으로 작용함을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 아동은 당면하는 스트레스 유형이 달라져도 대처방식에 일관성(안정성)을 보였는데, 이는 모든 학교스트레스 유형에 대해서 열린교육 환경이 아동의 대처능력을 향상시키는데 긍정적으로 작용할 수 있음을 시사하는 것이라 하겠다. 본 연구를 통하여 열린교육 환경에서 성취된 개인 자원은 아동의 학교 스트레스 대처능력을 고양시키는데 긍정적으로 작용함이 확인됨으로써 교수ㆍ학습환경이 아동의 스트레스 대처능력 뿐만 아니라 전반적인 정신건강에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하고 있다

Purpose: The present study investigated whether stress and ventilator ytraining (VT) have different effects on psychophysiological responses according to the magnitude of the stress response. Method: Participants were twenty-three college students with a high-tsress response and twenty-three with a low-stress response. Psychological tests (depression, axniety, stress response, and resilience), hear t rate variability (SDNN, RMSSD, total power, LF, HF, and LF/HF ratio), and visual analogue scale (anxiety, stress, confidence, and relaxation) were measured at rest, after cognitive stress, and after ventilatory training. Results: High-stress group showed higher depression, trait, state anxiety, and lower resilience compared to the low-stress group. The high-stress group showed higher VAS anxiety and stress, and lower relaxation and self-confidence scores. Computational task increaseds tress and decreased heart rate and RM-S SD. VT not only lowered anxiety and stress, increased relaxation and confidence, but also increased SDNN, RMSSD, total power, and LF. However, there was no significant d ifference between the stress response groups in all variables before and after the stress task and ventilatory training. Conclusion: VT seems to be an effective way to restore the balance of th aeutonomic nervous system caused by stress.

개체가 스트레스 환경에 노출되는 경우 스트레스에 의한 감정과 신체의 대응에 변화를 초래한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 반복되어지는 구금 스트레스 환경에 노출되는 경우에 초래되는 행동변화를 관찰하여, 스트레스에 의한 신체의 대응양상으로서 선천적 행동(innate behavior)과 학습과 기억(learning and memory)에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 9주령 수컷 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley)를 이용하여 7일 동안 연속적으로 하루 6시간씩 구금 스트레스(restraint stress) 환경에 노출시킨 스트레스군(Stressed group)은 정상적인 사육조건에서 사육된 대조군(Control group)에 비해 개체의 성장추세가 지연되었다. 구금 스트레스 노출 직후 흰쥐의 편도(amygdala)에서 NADPH-diaphorase 염색방법을 이용하여 뇌 산화질소생성효소(nNOS) 활성을 관찰한 결과 스트레스군의 경우 대조군에 비해 활성을 나타내는 신경세포 수가 유의하게 증가되었다. 동일한 스트레스에 노출 직후 흰쥐의 개방공간 탐색행동 검사(open-field exploratory behavior test)를 시행하였다. 개방공간에 최초 노출된 경우 스트레스군의 보행활동도(ambulatory activity)는 대조군에 비해 유의한 증가를 나타냈으나, 개방장소 탐색활동도 측정을 통한 탐색 영역 분석 결과, 스트레스군의 경우 개장공간의 중앙영역에서 나타나는 탐색행동은 유의하게 감소되었다. 그러나 이후 3일 동안 반복하여 동일한 탐색활동도 측정 장치에 노출시킨 경우, 스트레스군의 보행활동도는 대조군과 비슷한 수준으로 회복되었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하면 스트레스 환경은 흰쥐에서 편도의 산화질소 생성효소 활성을 증가시켰으며, 이는 불안을 표출하는 행동양식의 변화를 수반하였다. 본 연구에서 반복되는 스트레스는 선천적 행동양식의 변화를 초래하였지만, 공간지각에 대한 학습과 기억에는 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 시사한다. The environmental stress may produce to behavioral changes. In this study using a rodent stress model that exposure to the repetitive restraint stress elicits behavioral alterations, especially changes the patterns of the innate behavior but not the contextual memory and learning abilities. Nine weeks old Sprague-Dawley male rats were given the restraint stress (the stressed group) for 6 hours per day for seven consecutive days. The stressed rats were indicated the retarded development within the stressed-session compared to the control group. After the exposure to restraint stress for seven days, the rats" brains were performed to the NADPH-diaphorase stain on the limbic region of the brain. In the stressed animals have increased the counts of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) active neurons in the central amygdala of the brain. For behavioral assessments, animals were subjected to the exposure to novel environment-open-field apparatus-in order to examining the exploratory behaviors especially the ambulatory activity after the stress paradigm. The stressed animals indicated a significantly higher ambulatory activity for 5 min compare to the control animals. Moreover, the zone analysis of the tracking of exploration in open-field monitoring system, the stressed rats were a significantly decreased their activities in the center of arena compared to the control rats. However, the stressed rats were repetitively exposed to the same arena at once per day for 3 consecutive days, which ambulatory activity did attenuate to the control levels 3 days after exploration. These results suggested that the increase of counts of the nNOS reactive neurons in the central amygdala area due to the experience of repetitive stress paradigm can alter the eliciting pattern of the innate behavior and which has not been modulate the contextual learning and memory functions of the brain.

Gardenia Jasminoides (GJ) is traditionally used for treatment of hepatic disease, insomnia, anxiety? and inflammatory disease. The aim of this study is to examine effects of GJ extract in response to stress. Animals of the normal group were not exposed to any stress and the control group were exposed to stress. The rats of the Ginseng and GJ supplementary group were orally administered once a day with 100 mg of red ginseng extract, 100 mg of GJ extract/kg body weight. The mice were given water containing 200 mg of red ginseng extract, 200 mg of GJ extract/100 ㎖ potable water. Animals were given supplements for 7 days without stress, and then were given supplements for 5 days with restraint and electroshock stress. After loading final stress, we examined stress related behavioral changes of experimental animals and measured the levels of blood corticosterone. GJ-supplementation partially blocked the stress effect on locomotion and elevated plus maze test in rats, and also partially blocked stress-induced behavioral changes such as freezing, burrowing, face-washing, smelling and rearing behavior in rats. The effect was almost equipotent to Ginseng's effect. GJ-supplementation didn't influence on fatigue related behavior or physical stress resistance. GJ-supplementation decreased the levels of blood corticosterone which is increased by stress in rats. These results suggest that GJ protects partially the living organism from stress attack and it has the potential to be used as a functional material to alleviate stress response.
