The cases of three infants, who were attending the Infant Care and Treatment Center, were examined, by attaching pulse oximeters to the subjects and taking measurements, for a total of eight times over a period of ten months. The results of the research show that, compared to the Morning Meeting environment, in the Snoezelen Environment, the range of fluctuation for SpO2, (Arterial blood oxygen saturation) values increased and three subjects had more stable breathing, and the range of fluctuation for heart-rates decreased. From these results, it was considered that, overall, for the three infants with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, a Snoezelen Environment provides psychological stability, and has the effect of facilitating relaxation. However it cannot receive environment of Snoezelen enough is supposed with under 3 years old. In other words it may be said that the development of some sensory organs are necessary to enjoy environment of Snoezelen. Based on leading research in various countries overseas, it has been suggested that Snoezelen has relaxation effects on infants with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, children with serious illnesses, children with intellectual disabilities, and on people with dementia. Furthermore, Snoezelen also has both care and treatment, as well as education aspects. It is possible to set up and assess objectives in actual medical care and treatment, and educational situation.}, pages = {119--126}, title = {Relaxation effects of snoezelen for infants with severe motor and intellectual disabilities : Used SpO2 values and heart rates as indicators}, volume = {61}, year = {2010} }
