This study sought to examine the effects of toenail fungus care through the application of IRB-approved blending essential oil. To accomplish this, one drop of the oil was administered daily to 12 individuals aged 40-60, each exhibiting symptoms of toenail fungus. This treatment regimen was repeated six times, with a four-week interval between each application, spanning from April 1 to September 30, 2022. Testee satisfaction was evaluated after each treatment, and the effects were observed using photos and an electron microscope. Satisfaction levels and the severity of Onychomycosis Severity Index (OSI) were assessed through descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA, utilizing SPSS 28.0. The results revealed variations among individuals, but overall, the treatment demonstrated improvements. This suggests that the treatment could be effective for individuals suffering from toenail fungus, especially those who are concerned about adverse drug reactions and drug resistance. Given the abundance of toenail fungus care methods shared on social media and the Internet, the lack of objective data on their effectiveness is notable. Therefore, this study holds significance as it offers objective insights into toenail fungus care.

本研究经IRB批准，分析了混合精油对问题问题性脚趾甲霉菌管理的影响。本研究选取了12位40-60多岁具有脚趾甲霉菌的人员，并于2022年4月1日至9月30日，邀请被试人员分6次，每天涂抹1drop，间隔4周，每次均用照片和电子显微镜进行了拍摄，并附上满意度调查。本研究分析采用了SPSS28.0程序的描述性统计、并使用重复测量分散分析进行了满意度和OSI严重程度评价。研究结果表明，统计数据虽呈现个体差异，但整体上呈现出改善效果，本研究针对那些因药物副作用和耐药性，而恐惧接受治疗的脚趾甲霉菌症状人员提出了有效的方案。目前，SNS和网络已提供一定的脚趾甲霉菌管理方法，但缺乏有关改善效果的客观资料，因此，本研究在此方面具有研究价值。
