| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Purpose: Two sample groups were compared in this study; elderly people who took foot-bathing in the evening and those who didn’t. Subjects and Methods: Operational and non-operational groups were randomly generated to observe differences by taking the foot-bath with the hot water of 40 degree C in 10 minutes at 17 o’clock under the Crossover Design. Results: Foot-bathing in the evening didn’t improve the micturition before sleep, however, presented significant reduces on amount of micturition in the night and less count of night micturition by 0.5 times. Number of awareness was decreased, resulting in producing high sleep quality. From said observations, foot-bathing at 17 o’clock was supposed to be effective on the nocturia and nycturia. Further study is expected because a preliminary experiment showed reduction on the amount of nighttime micturition by taking the bath four hours before sleep, which was rather effective than taking foot-bath or normal bath prior to the sleep.
