초록
연구는 사무직 근로자를 대상으로 척추온열마사지 기기의 사용이 신체적･정신적 이완에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 30~40대 사무직 근로자 15명이 연구에 참여하였으며, 연구참여자들은 자택에서 한 달 동안 주 5회, 회당 40분씩 척추온열마사지 기기를 사용하였다. 주관적 지표는 시각적상사척도(visual analog scale, VAS)를 이용하여 사용 전과 후의 피로, 스트레스, 근육통, 혈액순환, 소화불량, 불면증의 변화를 분석하였으며, 객관적 지표는 혈압(이완기/수축기) 및 맥압의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 주관적 지표에서 피로(-51.5%), 근육통(-49.6%), 혈액순환(-23.1%), 스트레스(-20.9%) 척도가 유의하게 감소하였고, 불면증(-20%) 및 소화불량(-7.4%) 증상도 기준선 대비 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 객관적 지표에서 혈압은 수축기 혈압에서 유의한 감소를 보였으며, 이완기 혈압과 맥압에서도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 사무직 근로자의 척추온열마사지 기기 사용은 온열요법과 물리적 마사지의 동시 적용으로 부교감 신경계를 활성화시켜 신체적 이완 및 정신적 이완에 도움이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of a spinal thermal massage device on physical and mental relaxation in office workers. Fifteen participants in their 30s and 40s used the device at home for 40 minutes, five times a week, for one month. Subjective measures, including fatigue, stress, muscle pain, blood circulation, indigestion, and insomnia, were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention. Objective measures included blood pressure (diastolic/systolic) and pulse pressure. The results showed significant reductions in fatigue (-51.5%), muscle pain (-49.6%), blood circulation difficulties (-23.1%), and stress (-20.9%), with trends suggesting reductions in insomnia (-20%) and indigestion (-7.4%). Systolic blood pressure significantly decreased, with tendencies for reductions in diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. In conclusion, the spinal thermal massage device appeared to promote physical and mental relaxation by combining thermotherapy and massage, likely activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
