手浴と手部蒸しタオル温罨法の保湿効果の比較

抄録

This study aimed to verify the moisturizing effect of hand bathing and steamed hand towel warm compression by comparing the moisture and oil contents of the stratum corneum on the bed. The keratin moisture and skin oil contents were measured in college students after performing the hand bath and steamed towel warm compress method. The result revealed 0.43 mg/mm2 of skin oil in the hand bath group immediately after the treatment, but with no significant difference. An increasing trend of 0.39 µg/mm2 was observed immediately after the treatment in the steamed towel hot compress group, but it decreased 20 and 30 min after the treatment. There was no significant difference in skin oil content between both the groups. The stratum corneum moisture content was 46.55 a.u. immediately after the treatment with an increasing tendency but with no difference. It decreased to 35.22 a.u. 10 min after the treatment, and decreased further to 26.79 a.u. 30 min after the treatment. An increasing tendency to 42.50 a.u. was observed in the steamed towel warm compress group immediately after the treatment but with no difference. It decreased 20 and 30 min after the treatment, and it decreased more after 20 min than before the treatment. The keratin moisture content decreased more in the steamed towel hot compress group than in the hand bath group.
