Reducing the stress of infants by skin care
Full text linkThe horny layer of the skin of infants is thin and their barrier functions are weak due to a lack of skin surface lipids. Also, compared with adults, infants possess fewer amino acids as natural moisturizing factors. They also have more sweat glands per body surface area compared with adults. Infant skin is prone to drying and the high level of perspiration while they sleep attracts ticks to attach to the skin, which are causes of bacterial infection and allergies, leading to itchy skin. The skin becomes sensitive by being scratched, leading to a vicious cycle of increasing risks of infection and allergies.
Skincare using Sugar Scrub causes an increase in the amount of sebum, and a previous study reported improvements in scratching due to dry skin (Yamaguchi M et al., 2009). This study was aimed to show whether skincare using Sugar Scrub when bathing helped prevent itching and was effective to reduce stress. Infants aged 0-2 years old were the subjects of the study, and a comparison study was conducted with a group of 10 infants receiving no intervention, a group of 10 infants who only bathed, and a group of 10 infants who bathed with Sugar Scrub. As a result, there was no change in the salivary amylase, pulse, or SpO2 value in the control or bath group. The Sugar Scrub group showed a significant reduction in salivary amylase (p<0.05), which suggested that Sugar Scrub was effective to reduce stress.砂糖を含む皮膚保湿剤シュガースクラブによるスキンケアが乳幼児のストレスに与える効果を調べた。乳幼児30名(生後10〜33ヵ月)を、素手でマッサージをしながら沐浴(38℃、2分間)を行う沐浴群(n=10)、沐浴後にシュガースクラブをつけてマッサージし、その後、洗い流すシュガースクラブ群(n=10)、および何もしない対照群(n=10)に分け、ケア前および10分後に唾液アミラーゼ、脈拍数および動脈血酸素飽和度(SpO2)を測定した。対照群および沐浴群では唾液アミラーゼ、脈拍数およびSpO2に変化がなかった。シュガースクラブ群では脈拍数およびSpO2には変化がなかったが、唾液アミラーゼが有意に低下した。以上より、シュガースクラブはストレス軽減に効果があると考えられた
Workshop held in cooperation between Aino Hospital staff and faculty members from the Faculty of Nursing and Rehabilitation of Aino University: An activity report on 2 years of "care workshop"
Full text linkWe established a care workshop in 2016 and have worked together with the staff of Aino Hospital and other facilities in order to promote mutual understanding through providing learning opportunities. The workshop has taken root over 2 years of activities.
A participatory workshop, taking properties of adult learners into consideration, could provide good opportunities for well-experienced learners to look objectively at their experiences and a support participants to learn, and so the workshop is now become held on continuous basis.
Through our efforts, we recognized that the workshop should be operated by taking participantsʼ life stages into consideration
