“…Ekstrand et al (1991) reported minor differences in HR and BP between the bathing methods for low-risk patients with myocardial infarction. Winslow et al (1985) showed that peak heart rate and occurrence of dysrhythmia did not differ significantly among the types of bathing. However, in these studies, the water temperature (35.0-36.5°C) of the bath or shower was low compared to the 41-42°C range that is preferred by Japanese people.…”

The effects of bathroom thermal conditions on physiological and subjective responses were evaluated before, during, and after whole-body bath (W-bath), halfbody bath (H-bath) and showering. The air temperature of the dressing room and bathroom was controlled at 10°C, 17.5°C, and 25°°C. Eight healthy males bathed for 10 min under nine conditions on separate days. The water temperature of the bathtub and shower was controlled at 40°C and 41°C, respectively. Rectal temperature (Tre), mean skin temperature (T sk), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), body weight loss and blood characteristics (hematocrit: Hct, hemoglobin: Hb) were evaluated. Also, thermal sensation (TS), thermal comfort (TC) and thermal acceptability (TA) were recorded.BP decreased rapidly during W-bath and H-bath compared to showering. HR during W-bath was significantly higher than for H-bath and showering (pϽ0.01). The double products due to W-bath during bathing were also greater than for H-bath and showering (pϽ0.05). There were no distinct differences in Hct and Hb among the nine conditions. However, significant differences in body weight loss were observed among the bathing methods: W-bathϾH-bathϾshowering (pϽ0.001). W-bath showed the largest increase in Tre and T sk, followed by H-bath, and showering. Significant differences in Tre after bathing among the room temperatures were found only at H-bath. The changes in Tre after bathing for H-bath at 25°C were similar to those for W-bath at 17.5°C and 10°°C. TS and TC after bathing significantly differed for the three bathing methods at 17.5°C and 10°C (TS: pϽ0.01 TC: pϽ0.001). Especially, for showering, the largest number of subjects felt "cold" and "uncomfortable". Even though all of the subjects could accept the 10°C condition after W-bath, such conditions were intolerable to half of them after showering.These results suggested that the physiological strains during H-bath and showering were smaller than during Wbath. However, colder room temperatures made it more difficult to retain body warmth after H-bath and created thermal discomfort after showering. It is particularly important for H-bath and showering to maintain an acceptable temperature in the dressing room and bathroom, in order to bathe comfortably and ensure warmth.

Thermal conditions in the bathroom and physiological responses were examined during winter and summer.The subjects were 22 male and 20 female elderly people, between 65 and 88 years old living in 25 houses in Gunma Prefecture, Japan.Heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature and thermal sensation were measured during bathing.Changes in thermal sensation due to bathing were assessed in the living room and dressing room on a 9-point scale. Then they were asked about the purposes of bathing and the facilities of bathroom and dressing room. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The purpose of bathing in winter was to warm up for more than 80% of the subjects.In summer, all subjects felt refreshed by bathing. Eighty-five percent of the subjects took a bath every other day in both seasons. 2. Fifty-two percent of the bathrooms had no ventilating fans and 32% had no exclusive dressing rooms.

“…Studies categorized as specific statements of place with description provided information about the environment which extended beyond a simple statement of the place where BP was recorded. Information may have been as minimal as noting that the testing room contained four beds (Miller & Perry, 1990), to recorded efforts to control environmental factors such as time of day (Winslow, Lane & Gaffney, 1985) or temperature and surroundings for testing (Moore & Newton, 1986). Several studies in this category provided the reader with information about the ambiance of the environment.…”

The purpose of this review is to examine nursing research on blood pressure (BP) from 1980 to 1990 from a bio-psycho-social perspective. Nursing research articles (N = 50) from three journals were reviewed. The inclusion of subject descriptions, environmental factors, dynamic and interpersonal aspects were tabulated. This review provides a basis for designing nursing research on BP with a broader perspective.
