본 연구는 산림치유활동, 등산 및 산림욕활동, 에어로빅활동이 스트레스 회복에 미치는 영향을 검증하여 스트레스 대처 방안으로 산림치유가 적극 활용될 수 있는 토대를 마련하고자 하였다. 실험을 위해 산림치유 활동 A집단(25명), 등산 및 산림욕활동 B집단(20명), 에어로빅활동C집단(25명)을 비교 집단으로 구성하였다. 그리고 2012년 09월부터 2013년 09월 사이에 실험집단(A집단)은 ‘장성치유의 숲’에서 산림치유활동에 참여 하였고 비교집단인 B집단은 동일한 숲에서 등산과 산림욕만 하였다. 또한 C집단은 헬스장에서 에어로빅을 하도록 하였다. 연구 결과, A집단은 ‘신체적 스트레스’와 ‘정신적 스트레스’, ‘스트레스저항력’, ‘스트레스지수 ’항목 모두 에서 사전· 사후가 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며 B집단은 ‘정신적 스트레스’와 ‘스트레스지수’ 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그리고 에어로빅은 모든 항목에서 사전과 사후의 변화는 있었으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 이로써 산림치유활동이 에어로빅이나 등산 및 산림활동 보다 신체적 스트레스와 정신적 스트레스를 낮추고 회복하는데 더 효과적이며 생리적으로도 스트레스 지수를 낮추고 스트레스 저항력에 효과적인 활동임을 입증하였다. 이에 산림치유활동은 산림휴양복지 차원에서 국민들의 스트레스 대처 방안으로 적극 시행해야 한다.
