BACKGROUND: In a clinical setting, @entity1 have been observed to complain of discomfort and to discontinue treatment because of @entity1897 ( @entity1897 ), but few data exist regarding the quality of life in these @entity1 in Korea. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to analyze the effects of foot bathing and massage in @entity1 with @entity1897 . METHODS: Subjects included 48 @entity1 with @entity1897 , who were hospitalized in C University Hospital.

RESULTS: The foot skin temperature increased significantly in the foot bathing group, whereas it decreased significantly in the massage group. Quality of life was significantly increased in the foot bathing group, whereas it was significantly decreased in the massage group. CONCLUSIONS: Although foot bathing and foot massage are both supportive care techniques for @entity1897 @entity1 , foot bathing was more effective than foot massage on skin temperature, grade of @entity2359 , and quality of life. Additional well-designed studies are recommended, so that the effectiveness of foot bathing and foot massage is confirmed.
