The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of DJR on fatigue and relaxation among nurses working at a general hospital. The study design employed the one-group protest-posttest quasi-experimental mehtod consisting of physical relaxating. DJR intervention, and a cooling-down phase. A conventience sample of 24 nurses was used in this study. The subjects were not currently taking any medication, nor participating in any program for relieving fatigue or achieving relaxation and participating in any program for relieving fatigue of achieving relaxtion and participated in the DJR training for 60minutes daily 5days a week over 4 weeks. The degrees of fagigue and relaxation were obtained by self-reported questionnaires. A repeated measures ANOVA was used in analyzing the data. The results were as follows: the mean scores for physical, mental, and neuro-sensational fatigue decreased significantly after 2 week and 4 week with DJR training compared with scores before the DJR training(F=13.79, P=.0001; F=24.28, P=.0001;F=17.03, P=.0001, respectively). The mean scores for physical and phychological relasation increased after 2 weeks and 4 weeks with DJR training compared with scores before the DJR training(F=29.02, P=.0001; F=20.38, P=.0001, respectively.) The above findings indicate that Dahnjeon Respiration is effective in reducing fatigue and achieving relaxation. DJR is therefore suggested as one intervention in managing fatigue and improving the general health of clinical nurses.
