以灰色GM（0,N）模型探討頭部按摩緩解壓力之研究
Using Grey GM(0,N) Model to Explore the Research of Relieving Stress by Head Massage
摘要
長期處在高壓環境而衍生相關疾病已是現代社會的普遍現象，本研究以對照實驗研究設計，探討緩解壓力之成效及對生理指標進行影響壓力因子的權重分析。試驗分為三個模組，分別為，實驗組：一般頭部按摩（A組）、頭部穴道按摩（B組）；對照組：無按摩介入空白實驗（C組）。受試者收案標準為女性，且PSI壓力指標＞50，並隨機分配至實驗組及對照組進行單次性試驗。實驗前後測的生理指標與PSI值皆以心率變異分析儀所測量的數值做為評估之準則，並以灰色系統理論中GM（0,N）模型進行因子權重分析，觀察緩解壓力成效及比較組間Mean HRT（平均心率）、SDNN（心臟功能）、RMSSD（心臟負荷）對PSI（壓力指數）之因子權重差異。本研究收案人數實驗組及對照組各為12人，總計36人。研究結果顯示，三個模組在進行試驗介入後的PSI值均有下降；其中，三組以頭部穴道按摩（B組）的成效較為顯著，因B組的生理指標均有改變趨勢，在Mean HRT平均心率的權重顯著提升，是明顯達到放鬆與緩解壓力的影響因子。綜上所述，頭部穴道按摩可做為有效改善自律神經系統及平衡的日常保健方法，也提供醫療領域及健康美容領域做為參考。建議未來研究者可提升實驗規模、或選擇特定對象等條件，以證實經絡穴位按摩對緩解壓力之成效。

Stress related diseases are commonly found in contemporary society. The present study, which employs contrastive-experimental research method, investigates the stress relief effect on the one hand, and conducts relational analysis of stress factors on physiological indices on the other hand. Two experimental groups and one contrastive group are subject to comparison. The two experimental groups include head massage (A group), and Head acupoint massage (B group). The contrastive group (C group) assumes no massage at all. All participants are females with PSI (physiological strain index) higher than 50. They are randomly assigned to the contrastive group and the two experimental groups for a single test. Pre-and post-test physiological index and PSI value are measured via SA3000P, a heart rate variability analyzer (HRV). GM(0, N) model of the grey system is implemented for relational analysis of factor weight. Data analysis is intended to show effect of stress relief, and group comparison as regards mean HRT, SDNN (standard deviation of normal to normal) and factor weight difference of RMSSD (root mean square of the successive differences) on PSI. A total of 36 participants, with each group consisting of 12, is under investigation. According to the experiment, all groups manifest lower PSI values after the intervening experiment. The B group, whose physiological indices have changed, is found to display the best effect. The MRT weight, which is significantly higher, is regarded as a factor of relaxation and stress-relief. Data analysis indicates that head meridian acupoint massage is a healthcare means whereby the autonomic nervous system and balance can be improved. The finding can serve as a guide for those engaged in Medicare and medical cosmetics. Forthcoming research is suggested to conduct an experiment on a larger scale or target a specific respondent group, thus further verifying the effect of meridian acupoint massage on stress relief.
