Outline of Final Research Achievements

Oxytocin level changes between before and after the foot bath infused with
①clary sage and lavender essential oils (n = 27), ②jasmine essential oil (n = 26), ③no essential oil (n = 25) and feasibility of the study protocol were examined in pregnant women. Oxytocin level significantly increased after the foot bath① (p = .035), although significant differences were not observed in the foot bath② and ③.Oxytocin level had large variance and the cause is required to be clarified. 22 low-risk primiparas (intervention group) at the end of pregnancy performed self-breast stimulation with 1 hour per day for 3 days. The control group as usual care was 20 women. The saliva oxytocin level on the third day was significantly higher in the intervention group and the frequency of uterine contractions during the experiment was also significantly increased in the intervention group. Repeated breast stimulation for spontaneous onset of labor led to increased oxytocin levels.
