초록

본 연구는 이압요법이 여대생의 월경시 요통과 하복부 통증에 미치는 효과를 파악하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 전·후 설계의 유사실험연구이다. 2011년 3월 15일부터 6월 31일까지 여대생 42명(실험군 20명, 대조군 22명)을 대상으로 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 χ²-test, FIsher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test와 Wilcoxon signed rank test 로 분석하였다. 이압요법 적용후 월경시 요통과 하복부통증은 실험군에서 감소한 반면 대조군에서는 차이가가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 월경으로 인한 요통과 하복부통증에 완화 시키는데 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
