[目的]探讨足部按摩对产后妇女体重、下肢水肿及血脂的影响。方法：本研究采用非等效控制组前后测设计。产后妇女被分配到实验组（n=16）或对照组（n=15）。实验组每周进行5次足部反射按摩，共2周。测量下肢水肿的工具是大腿和小腿的周长。血脂检测工具为临床过程中血清总胆固醇和甘油三酯。数据采用SPSS/Win PC 14.0软件进行χ 2检验、t检验、配对t检验、方差分析。结果：实验组血清TG水平较对照组明显降低，差异有统计学意义。结论：足反射按摩是降低产后妇女血脂水平的有效护理措施。因此，足部反射按摩可作为产后妇女降低血脂的护理干预策略。
【Purpose: This study examined the effects of foot-reflexology massage on body weight, lower extremity edema, and serum lipids in postpartum women. Method: This study was a nonequivalent control-group pretest-posttest design. Postpartum women were assigned to the experimental group (n=16) or a control group (n=15). Foot reflexology massage was applied 5 times a week, for a total of 2 weeks to the experimental group. The tool for measuring lower extremity edema was the girth of the thigh, and the calf. The measuring tool for serum lipids was total cholesterol and TG in blood serum by clinical process. Data was analyzed by $x^2$ -test, t-test, and paired t-test, ANOVA using SPSS/Win PC 14.0. Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in levels of TG in blood serum in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Foot reflexology massage is a useful nursing intervention that decreases serum lipids level in postpartum women. Therefore foot reflexology massage is recommended as a nursing intervention strategy for serum lipids reduction in postpartum women.】
