長期入院統合失調症患者における「たたき染め」の治療効果—生理学的指標を用いた事例検討

Therapeutic effects of “tataki dyeing” in a long-term hospitalized patient with schizophrenia: A case study using physiological indicators

要旨：【目的】病院内寛解状態の長期入院統合失調症女性患者1例に対し，「たたき染め」を実施し，前後比較することで，ストレス軽減効果を生理学的に検証する．【方法】生理学的指標には，唾液アミラーゼ値，血圧，脈拍を用いた．各指標は活動前後に3回ずつ測定し，平均値を算出した．VASでの主観的気分評価は活動前後に1回ずつ実施した．なお，2週間程間隔をあけて3回実施した．【結果】唾液アミラーゼ値は3回とも低下し，主観的気分評価は改善した．一方，血圧と脈拍に大きな変化はなかった．【結論】「たたき染め」は，身体的負荷の影響を受けることなく，心理的ストレスを軽減することが生理学的に示唆され，主観的気分評価も改善された．

　[Purpose] This study investigated “tataki dyeing” in a woman in her 70s who was a long-term hospitalized patient with schizophrenia in remission. By comparing the before and after results, we physiologically verified the stress relief effect. [Methods] Salivary amylase levels, blood pressure, and pulse rate were used as physiological indicators. Each index was measured three times before and after the activity, and the average value was calculated. Subjective mood was evaluated using the visual analog scale once before and after each activity. Additionally, three “tataki dyeing” sessions were conducted with an interval of approximately 2 weeks. [Results] Salivary amylase levels decreased in all three sessions, and subjective mood improved. Furthermore, no significant changes were observed in blood pressure and pulse. [Conclusion] Physiological indicators suggest that “tataki dyeing” relieves psychological stress without being affected by physical stress. Furthermore, it improves subjective mood.
