ABSTRACT

This study is attempted to develop stress-relief program suitable for modern people by investigating 15 male and female college students majoring in skin care for the effect of ear therapy on constituent parts of the blood, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Dopamine and Cortisol in the blood. For measurement, Constituent parts of the blood were measured using XE2100D(SYSMEX, JAPAN), HPLC(BIO-RAD, USA) was used for Epinephrine, Norepinephrine and Dopamine, and COBRA 5010 QUANTUM(PACKARD, USA) for Cortisol. For analysis method, data was treated through Two-Related Samples No parametric Test using SPSS WIN 12.0 statistics program, and the results are as follows. The results are as follows, it showed significant difference(p<.05) with RBC(B) 4.51±0.41 before experiment and 4.60±0.40 after experiment; HCT 41.46±4.37 before experiment and 42.44±4.28 after experiment; and Hb 13.27±1.71 before experiment and 13.58±1.70 after experiment, the figures increasing. As a result of testing the difference in Epinephrine concentration, there was no significant difference in p<.05 level even though it decreased from 45.59± 22.24 before experiment to 37.11± 14.66 after experiment. As a result of testing the difference in Norepinephrine concentration, there was no significant difference in p<.05 level even though it decreased from 202.24± 129.82 before experiment to 189.66± 45.58 after experiment. As a result of testing the difference in Dopamine concentration, there was no significant difference with 17.30± 5.25 before experiment and 17.16± 6.56 after experiment. Cortisol showed significant difference (p<.05) with the figure decreased from 9.66± 4.88 before experiment to 7.53± 6.31 after experiment. Judging from the result, Ear therapy has a positive response to Cortisol hormone that reacts to stress. Also, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine showed not significant but decreasing phenomenon, so with a more continuous management, it will be a therapy suitable for the stress-relief program.
