“…Dysregulatory stress responses can be modified by some alternative and complementary medicine (CAM) interventions. CAM strategies such as meditation, massage, and Qigong are used in clinical practice to treat stress, pain, and cardiovascular symptoms (Korgan & Betrus, 1984;.…”

Effects of Qi‐training on anxiety and plasma concentrations of cortisol, ACTH, and aldosterone: a randomized placebo‐controlled pilot study

The effects of Qi-training on anxiety, and plasma concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, and aldosterone in healthy young men was investigated. Thirty-two subjects were randomly assigned to a sham control group or a Qi-training group. Although the basal level of anxiety did not differ between the groups, there was a significant group by time interaction of the 1-hour intervention; anxiety decreased by 26 per cent in the Qi-training group and by 9 per cent in the control group. After Qi-training, the plasma concentrations of ACTH, cortisol, and aldosterone decreased, but these levels did not change in the control group. These findings suggest that Qi-training improves anxiety and has a significant effect on the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal axis.

“…As such, the molecules of the plant scents applied to individual soldiers stimulate the olfactory nerves of the olfactory bulb and the information is transferred to the olfactory brain, having a healing effect on the autonomic nervous system (Kim, 2011). This reduces the psychological and physical stress that soldiers experience, acting as a positive factor on stress reduction and forest healing activities performed in forests within military units seem to change stressful situations or negative emotions or to control phys-ical responses (Kogan and Betrus, 1984). Likewise, forest…”

“…Forest healing activities are more effective in reducing and recovering from physical and mental stress, and can also physiologically reduce a stress index, increasing resistance against stress (Park et al, 2014). In addition, stress responses can be controlled by changing situations or changing individuals' negative emotions or managing physical responses (Kogan and Betrus, 1984), and forest experience was reported to have a positive influence on both help and general soldiers' feelings and military stress (You and Shin, 2017). Since managing stress in this way acts as a direct factor in their adjustment in military life (Joe, 2003), it is necessary to develop measures to manage stress for maladjustment soldiers.…”

Background and objective: In the Republic of Korea, military service is mandatory. Some of new recruits have the stress from the special environment, which could cause psychological maladjustment. The military forces have operated education programs such as green camp and healing camp. The study was conducted to investigate changes in psychological and physiological stress by conducting forest healing activities along with plant scent treatment for soldiers participating in a green camp. Methods: A total of 52 soldiers were participated including maladjustment soldiers and those recommended by their military units to protect the unfit soldiers who participated in forest healing activities in the green camp. The programs that were certified by the Korea Forest Service between 2014 and 2019, and were applied for stress reduction and relaxation training were classified into stress-coping programs and forest experience programs. Post-hoc surveys and cortisol measurements were carried out. Results: Green camp soldiers experience and differences in the level of stress responses were found to be very statistically significant between the treatment and control groups. The techniques for coping with stress were not significantly different in the control group, and the treatment group showed statistically significant results. In addition, the results of analyzing changes in the concentration of cortisol and measuring physiological stress were very statistically significant in forest healing activities at 4 p.m. Conclusion: Once green camp soldiers face stressful situations, forest healing programs using forest plant scents for green camp soldiers can have positive responses and forest healing activities can reduce psychological and physiological stress responses, improving maladjustment behaviors caused by stress and positively affecting the reduction of cortisol.

“…One of the examples in which the influence of qualitative research is visible is the shift from disease management to self-management of one's life with a chronic illness (Barlow, Wright, Sheasby, Turner, & Hainsworth, 2002;Coates & Boore, 1995;Kogan & Betrus, 1984;Newman, Steed, & Mulligan, 2004). In nursing, probably more or earlier than in other disciplines, the concept of compliance and its successor adherence have been replaced by self-management.…”

Evidence-based health care (EBHC) sets the tone in health care and health care research nowadays. Qualitative health researchers have to position themselves in a world that is dominated by it. The popularity of EBHC is not due to the rationality of its tenets. In this article, the author addresses major problems in EBHC. Qualitative research is important for providing the understanding that is necessary to apply findings from quantitative research properly and safely. Basic studies about the human experience in illness and regarding human behavior and meaning in general remain of great value, even in the era of EBHC. Qualitative research also plays an important role in developing scholarship.
