본 연구는 자가간호프로그램이 요추간판제거술 환자의 운동이행 자기효능감, 자가간호지식, 자가간호이행에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 실험연구이다. 대상자는 D광역시 소재 일개 척추전문병원 입원환자 중 미세현미경 요추간판제거술을 받은 환자로 실험군 26명, 대조군 27명이다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25프로그램을 이용하여 평균, 백분율, 표준편차, t-test, χ2-test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA로 분석하였다. 연구결과 자가간호프로그램 중재를 받은 실험군은 제공받지 않은 대조군에 비해 시간이 경과함에 따라 보조기 관리지식(p=.001)과 일상생활관리지식점수(p=.005)가 더 높아 지지되었다. 또한 자가간호 프로그램을 제공받은 실험군은 제공받지 않는 대조군보다 보조기 관리이행도(p=.011), 일상생활 이행도 (p=.007), 유해생활 습관관리 이행도(p=.011)가 높아 지지되었다. 따라서 자가간호프로그램은 요추간판제 거술 환자의 수술 전후 적용을 통해 운동이행 자기효능감, 자가간호지식 및 자가간호이행도를 향상시켜 보다 빠른 회복을 도울 수 있는 프로그램이라고 할 수 있다.

Background: If there is a difference in leg length, the center of gravity shifts unilaterally toward the short leg, causing loss of balance and secondary postural imbalance, trunk muscle tone changes, gait abnormalities and pelvic imbalance. Objectives: To investigate effects of self exercise program on leg length, balance in adults with leg-length discrepancy. Design: Single blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: Twenty-eight participants were selected and divided into resistance exercise, flexibility exercise, and core exercise. Each exercise was performed for 40 minutes, 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Leg length and balance before and after exercise were measured and analyzed. Results: Following the interventions, resistance exercise group showed significant improvement in balance, but leg length difference did not show significant results. Flexibility exercise group showed significant improvement in leg length difference, but balance did not show significant results. Core exercise group showed significant improvement in leg length difference and balance. There was no significant difference in the comparison between the three groups. Conclusion: This study suggests that customized exercise according to the patient's level is beneficial to the patients.

연구목적은 성인 지적장애인들의 수영 프로그램 참여에 따른 자아효능감과 운동 몰입, 건강관련 삶의 질의 변화를 분석하는 데 있다. 연구대상은 지적장애인 거주시설에서 거주하고 있는 성인 지적장애인 12명이며, 수영 프로그램에 12주간 참여하였다. 이에 따라 대상자들의 자아효능감과 운동 몰입, 건강 관련 삶의 질의 변화를 분석하였다. 자아효능감 평가는 전반적 자아효능감 척도를 활용하였으며, 일반적, 사회적 신체적 자아효능감을 평가하였다. 운동 몰입 평가는 스포츠 몰입척도를 활용하였으며, 인지몰입과 행위몰입의 수준을 평가하였다. 건강관련 삶의 질 평가는 건강관련 삶의 질 척도를 활용하여 전반적 건강 관련 삶의 질의 수준을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 대상자들은 수영 프로그램 참여에 따라 자아효능감과 운동 몰입, 건강관련 삶의 질의 수준이 통계적으로 유의미하게 향상되었다. 수영 프로그램의 참여는 성인 지적장 애인들의 자아효능감과 운동 몰입, 건강관련 삶의 질의 수준을 향상시키는 데 긍정적으로 작용한다. 이에 따라서, 성인 지적장애인들을 대상으로 수영 프로그램의 적용을 고려해볼 필요가 있을 것이다.

Background: Stroke is one of the most common diseases responsible for physical disabilities. In addition to their physical and occupational therapy, the self-exercise programs were developed for patients with hemiplegia to increase the intensity of their therapeutic exercise. Objects: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a customized self-exercise program (CSP) to walking function on improving stroke survivors’ muscle strength and ambulation function. Method: To test the effect of the self-exercise program, the following tests were conducted: The functional ambulation category (FAC), Tinetti performance-oriented mobility assessment gait part (POMA-G), timed up and go (TUG), 10-meter walk, and 2-minute walk. The study included 161 consenting stroke patients (FAC score>1) from a randomized, screened sample of 217. The CSP group participated in a 30-minute CSP each day for 10 weeks in addition to completing a routine rehabilitation program. The control group received only a routine rehabilitation program. All the subjects were monitored by a therapist once a week and had to submit an exercise checklist at the end of each session. Result: The strength of the participants’ upper and lower extremity muscles showed no significant differences between the CSP group and the control group. The FAC score and POMA-G also showed no significant differences. However, there were significant differences in the TUG, 10-meter walk test, and 2-minute walk test (p<.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that a CSP may improve gait-related function in stroke survivors.

This study was carried out to identify how a self-stretching exercise program affects pain for each body area, pain relief and job satisfaction for care workers. 20 of 40 care workers with musculoskeletal symptom were randomly selected and participated a self-stretching exercise program consisting of 15 motions. The intervention was done five times or more per weeks for 8 weeks and 1 session lasted within 15 minutes. 'Musculoskeletal symptom survey table' of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency(KOSHA) and JDI(Job Descriptive Index) was used for pain on the musculoskeletal symptom and job satisfaction. Survey were done twice before and after the program. The result of this study showed that self-stretching exercise program group(SSPG) relieved from pain significantly in the shoulders(p<.01) and lumbar(p<.05), comparing to the non selfstretching exercise program group(NSPG). Although no significant difference on variations in the JDI appeared in SSPG, the significant reduction appeared from the colleague relationship and organization in NSPG(p<.05). SSPG showed the significant increase on variations in JDI from the job and organization comparing to NSPG. Especially, the improvement on satisfaction for the organization was shown(p<.05). Accordingly, the self-stretching exercise program for care workers can be said to positively affect the overall pain relief and increase on the JDI.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a group self exercise program in improving the quality of life regarding depression and the activities of daily living (ADL) of chronic stroke survivors, as well as the motor functions such as the 3 meter round walk, upper extremity function, and static balance. The subjects were 12 post-stroke ambulatory community center participants. All subjects participated in one 90 minute session per week for 7 weeks and received a home exercise program in every session. They had to record and submit an exercise check list. Quality of life was measured with the Beck depression inventory and the 8-Item Short-Form (SF-8). Motor functions were measured with the manual function test (MF'T), the kinesthetic ability trainer (KAT 3000), and the modified Barthel index. The level of depression decreased somewhat, but there were no significant differences after intervention. However, quality of life related health (SF-8) improved significant1y. There were significant improvements in the time for the 3 meter round walk, the functions of the affected upper extremities, and static balance and ADL (p<.05). The findings of this study suggest that a group self exercise program can improve quality of life related health and motor functions in stroke survivors.

Purpose: In this study a pilates exercise program using self-efficacy sources was provided for women 65 years of age or older and the effects on physical fitness, body composition, depression, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life were tested. Methods: A quasi-experimental study employing a nonequivalent control group, pre-post design was conducted. The subjects consisted of 30 older women in the experiment group and 30 in the comparison group. The intervention was conducted twice a week for a period of 12 weeks. During this period, the pilates exercise program using self-efficacy sources (health education, phone coaching, mentoring, checking homework, recreation) were provided in the experiment group and pilates exercise program were offered in the comparison group. Chi-square test, independent t-test, ANCOVA were used for data analysis. Results: Following completion of the program, upper muscle strength (F=4.131, p=.047), low muscle strength (F=5.558, p=.022), upper flexibility (F=5.252, p=.026), static balance (F=5.957, p=.018), dynamic body balance & agility(F=18.971, p<.001), endurance(F=10.058, p=.002), muscle mass (F=5.748, p=.020), depression (F=4.493, p=.038), Self-efficacy (F=33.853, p<.001), and Health-related quality of life(F=5.586, p=.022) were significantly better in the experimental group. Conclusion: Findings from this study indicate that the pilates exercise program using self-efficacy sources are effective in enhancing physical fitness, body composition, self-efficacy and health-related quality of life and in decreasing depression for female elders and could therefore be regarded as positive program for promotion of physical and mental health for older women.

본 연구는 규칙적인 운동이 섭식장애 여성의 자기불일치에 미치는 효과를 심층적으로 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 섭식장애 전문병원에서 입원치료중인 섭식장애 여성 3명을 연구 참여자로 선정하였고, 이들을 대상으로 7주간의 규칙적인 운동 프로그램을 적용하였다. 규칙적인 운동이 시행되는 동안 수집된 질적 자료(구조화된 면담, 운동일지, 관찰일지)에 대한 내용분석(content analysis)과 자기질문지에 대한 기술통계(descriptive statistics)를 통해 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 섭식장애 여성 A, C의 경우 규칙적인 운동 참여를 통해 향상된 신체 자기평가, 자기효능감, 자아존중감이 실제 자기평가를 향상 시켰고, 운동 참여 과정 중에 수립된 객관적 신체기준은 자기 안내자(self-guides)를 낮춰 자기불일치를 감소시킨 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 섭식장애 여성 B의 경우 규칙적인 운동참여 기간 동안 개선되지 않은 신체 불만족, 낮은 자아존중감과 개인적 특성이 자기불일치를 오히려 증가시킨 것으로 나타났다.
