Previous studies on the effects of aromatic foot baths have mainly focused on changes in vital signs and subjective sensations, and few have investigated on the effects using objective scales other than changes in vital signs. In this respect, this study aimed to measure the effects on relaxation of warm foot baths with and without use of sweet orange essential oil using objective and subjective scales. Subjects were 19 healthy female first to forthyear nursing students (aged between 18-22). Changes in pulse, blood pressure and salivary amylase activity before and after foot bath were measured as objective effects, and Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to measure the subjective effects on relaxation. Results showed that POMS and VAS improved significantly after usage of foot bath. However, use or non-use of sweet orange essential oil showed no significant difference in all objective and subjective scales. Foot baths can be considered to be an effective way of alleviating negative feelings such as “nervousness/ anxiety”, “depression”, “fatigue” and “confusion” and to improve feelings of relaxation, whether with or without use of aromatic oils., 保健学研究, 29, pp.27-33; 2017}, pages = {27--33}, title = {主観的指標と客観的指標からみた足部温浴のリラックス効果~オレンジ・スイートアロマ使用時および未使用時の比較~}, volume = {29}, year = {2017} }
