「フットケア」とは足浴,爪きり,マッサージ,ツボ押しなどの総称で,その言葉は既に我が国でも一般的であり,足の健康への関心は高まりつつある.医療分野における「フットケア」の意義や有効性に関する研究が伸展しつつあるが,健康人を対象とした研究は少なくさらに生活習慣との関連をみた研究は皆無である.そこで,健康な大学生を対象として実態調査を行い,生活習慣と足のトラブルやフットケアの関連を明らかにする目的で本研究を行った.同意が得られた大学生623名に対し,独自に開発したアンケート調査を実施し,439名(70.4%)から有効回答を得た.その結果,足のトラブルを訴える者は女性226名(85.0%),男性87名(50.0%)で女性に有意に足のトラブルを訴える者が多かった.特に,「冷え」147名,(55.3%)「むくみ」131名(49.2%),「靴擦れ」95名(35.7%)が多く,足にマニキュアをしている者やパンプスなど先の尖った靴を履く者に足のトラブルの発生率が有意に高かった.また,足マッサージ,爪の手入れ,指圧等の足の手入れを行なっている者は,全体で238名(54.5%)おり,足にトラブルをもつ者と有意に関連があったが,フットケアに関する読み物への関心は97名(22.2%)と低かった.今後,足の観察,適切な爪の切り方や手入れの知識と技術等フットケアの専門家の育成,医療スタッフに対するフットケアの必要性と方法の教育を含めた健康人へのフットケアに関する健康教育に必要性が示唆された.
