Purpose: We conducted a literature review for analyzing the effect of massage on children according to their developmental stage in Korea.
Methods: Various academic databases were utilized for a bibliographic search, and the keyword, ‘massage’, was used to identify relevant references without limits on years to determine the overall research trends. Finally, 38 references cited from 1998 to 2014 were selected in Korea.
Results: Only two studies adapted a randomized controlled trial design. With regard to children’s developmental stage, half studies were conducted for neonates. Moreover, the percentage of application of a sensory stimulation protocol in newborn infants was 47.3%. Eighty four point one percent of studies measured physiological characteristics as outcome variables and the rate of growth was the most common (46.5%) physiological characteristic. On the contrary, only one study (4%) was conducted to evaluate the effect of massage on psychological characteristics in school aged and the adolescents.
Conclusion: This study provides fundamental data on the development and direction for future studies by analyzing studies on pediatric massage in Korea.
