OBJECTIVES
To verify the effectiveness of aromatherapy massage on elderly patients under long-term hospitalization.
DESIGN
Aromatherapy massage was performed twice a week for a total of eight times.
SETTING
Nursing home.
SUBJECTS
Elderly women under long-term hospitalization.
INTERVENTIONS
Questionnaire and measurement of stress marker levels (salivary amylase activity) before and after the first, fifth, and eighth aromatherapy massages.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Questionnaire (Face scale, General Health Questionnaire-12 [GHQ-12]), measurement of salivary amylase activity.
RESULTS
A decrease in stress after aromatherapy massage compared to before each massage was confirmed at all measurement times and with the stress marker. No marked reduction was observed in Face scale or saliva amylase activity as a whole over the long term, although decreasing tendencies were seen. Marked reductions in GHQ-12 were observed over the long term.
CONCLUSIONS
Aroma massage appears likely to prove effective in reducing psychological stress among elderly patients under long-term hospitalization.
目的
验证芳香按摩对长期住院的老年患者的有效性。
设计
每周进行两次芳香按摩，共进行 8 次。
地点
养老院。
对象
长期住院的老年女性。
干预措施
在第一次、第五次和第八次芳香按摩前后进行问卷调查和应激标志物水平（唾液淀粉酶活性）的测量。
结果测量
问卷调查（面部量表、一般健康问卷-12 [GHQ-12]）、唾液淀粉酶活性的测量。
结果
与每次按摩前相比，在所有测量时间点都证实了芳香按摩后应激的降低，并且应激标志物也降低。尽管存在下降趋势，但在整个长期内，面部量表或唾液淀粉酶活性均未出现明显降低。长期来看，GHQ-12 显著降低。
结论
芳香按摩似乎可以有效减轻长期住院的老年患者的心理压力。
