경락마사지가 폐경기 여성의 폐경 증상, 골밀도 및 혈청호르몬에 미치는 효과 = The Effects of Meridian Massage on Climacteric Symptoms, BMD and Serum Hormone in Perimenopausal Women

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: We analyzed climacteric symptoms, bone mineral density (BMD), serum estradiol (E2) and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH) to identify the health benefits of meridian massage in perimenopausal women. Methods:
There were 16 women in the experimental group and 17 people in the control group. Meridian massage was
performed for 4 weeks, 3 times a week for 20 minutes each session. The data were collected pre-treatment, posttreatment
and 4 weeks after treatment. SPSS/WIN 11.5 was used for data analysis. Results: After meridian massage,
there were significant differences in climacteric symptoms (U = 65.50, p = .011) and BMD (U = 65.50, p = .011)
between the two groups. The E2 level showed a significant difference between the two groups pre- and posttreatment
(U = 75.00, p = .028). FSH showed a significant increase when measured at 4 weeks after the treatment
as compared with the amount when measured post-treatment within the control group (z = -2.249, p = .025),
experimental group showed a stable change in FSH. but there was no significant difference between the groups.
Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed the effects of Meridian massage in decreasing climacteric symptoms,
inhibiting the decrease of BMD and stabilizing serum hormone in perimenopausal women. Therefore, it can be
considered for use as a nursing intervention for health management in perimenopausal women.
