여고생의 라벤더 에센셜 오일을 이용한 금연 프로그램 효과

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to use as a way of smoking cessation by figuring out how the aromatic inhalation therapy using lavender essential oil has an effect on the smoking cessation among high school girls. This study was carried on 30 girl students?who understand the purpose of the research and are in voluntary agreement to participation in research?going to B high school located in Inchon, ruling out girl students who suffering from rhinitis and a cold that can affect the sense of smell. It was limited by a survey on the nicotine dependence of them with a smoking history more than a cigarette a day, who are not being treated as a physical disease, to smokers. The test subjects, 30 girl students were divided into control group and experimental group in 15 girl students. An experiment was conducted on control group living without the use of lavender essential oil and experimental group living with inhaling lavender essential oil 3 times a day and wearing necklace for 4 weeks from August 24 to September 21, 2011. The crosstabulation analysis was conducted to determine the difference in general characteristics, the status of smoking, and the smoking history for pre-evaluation of a survey on experimental group and control group. The independent sample t-test was conducted to examine the similarity of each variables before experiment between experimental group and control group. The mean comparison of the nicotine dependence, carbon monoxide measurement before-after experiment to inquire into the experimental effects of experimental group and control group was conducted through a paired sample t-test. The mean comparison of the nicotine dependence, changes of carbon monoxide measurement between experimental group and control group was also conducted through the independent sample t-test. The SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science)ver 14.0 program was used for analysis of data collected through experiment, and its graph was handled by EXCEL 2007. The results of this study are as follows. First, the change of nicotine dependence in experimental group before-after experiment showed that the nicotine dependence significantly decreases at time goes on from 10.33?0.62 before experiment to the first 8.73?0.46, the second 7.27?0.59 and the third 6.07?1.34 after experiment(p<0.01). While the change of nicotine dependence in control group before-after experiment showed that the nicotine dependence slightly decreases at time goes on from 9.80?0.86 before experiment to the first 9.53?0.64, the second 9.47?0.83 and the third 9.40?0.51 after experiment, there was no significant difference(p>0.05). Second, the change of carbon monoxide in experimental group before-after experiment showed that carbon monoxide significantly decreases at time goes on from 6.27?2.89 before experiment to the first 5.67?2.44, the second 3.80?2.08, the third 2.07?1.62 and the fourth 1.20?1.08 after experiment(p<0.01). While the change of carbon monoxide in control group before-after experiment showed that carbon monoxide slightly decreases from 6.13?3.36 before experiment to the first 5.40?4.55 after experiment, but significantly increases at time goes on since the first to the second 5.80?4.49, the third 6.73?4.03 and the fourth 8.33?3.54 after experiment(p<0.05). This study intends to be used as basic data that prepare an alternative to smoking cessation for high-school girls' health by determining the status of their smoking. Diverse researches on their smoking will have to be carried out to put forward ways that can fundamentally solve their smoking problems.
