PURPOSE
This study tries to examine the effects of hand moxibustion and press pellet by applying them to male manufacturing workers with low back pain, and use them to develop nursing interventions for workers.
METHODS
The data were collected from August to October, 2018, and the subjects were 60 men, processed by using SPSS/WIN 21.0 to perform homogeneity test with Ï‡Â²-, t-, and hypothesis tests with repeated measures, ANOVA and ScheffÃ© test.
RESULTS
Hypothesis 1 that â€œthe experimental group provided with hand moxibustion and hand press pellet would give lower scores for low back pain than the control groupâ€ was supported (F=78.71, p<.001). Hypothesis 2 that â€œthe experimental group provided with hand moxibustion and hand press pellet would have a wider range of motion than the control groupâ€ was also supported (F=17.44, p<.001). Hypothesis 3 that â€œthe experimental group provided with hand moxibustion and hand press pellet would give lower scores for depression than the control group,â€ again, was supported (F=16.95, p<.001).
CONCLUSION
Hand moxibustion and hand press pellet are effective in relieving low back pain for male workers, in increasing the range of motion, and in decreasing depression.
