The purpose of this study was to figure out the effects of the aroma inhalation and hand massage on dementia elderly patients' depression, anxiety, problem behaviors and cognitive ability.

Research method used in this study was a nonequivalent control group pre-test and post-test design, and the subjects were consisted of 34 dementia elderly who were in two nursing homes and showed mild deterioration in cognitive ability. They were assigned to 2 groups : 18 to experimental group and 16 to control group
To the experimental group, intervention were given which had two components, aroma inhalation for 7 days and hand massage for 7 times, one time for a day.
To measure the effects, this study used SGDS(Short Geriatric Depression Scale), Beck's inventory for anxiety, Kim's problem behavior check list, and MMSE-K for cognition ability.
The data were analyzed using the SAS system for Windows V. 8.02.

The results of this study were summarized as follows :

1. There was statistically significant differences of depression scores between the experimental and control group(Z = 4.73, p = .00).

2. There was statistically significant differences of anxiety scores between the experimental and control group(Z = 4.26, p = .00). But blood pressure and pulse which weremeasured as the physical indicators of anxiety showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control group.

3. There was statistically significant differences of problem behaviors scores between the experimental and controlgroup(F = 5.20, p = .02).

4. There was statistically significant differences of cognitive ability scores between the experimental and control group(t = 2.12, p = .15)

Based on thses results, aroma inhalation and hand massage for dementia elderly patients were effective in decreasing depression, anxiety and problem behaviors.
Therefore aroma inhalation and hand massage can be adopted as nursing intervention for mild dementia patients.
