Abstract
We measured the finger plethysmograms of care workers working in a social welfare facility for the elderly three times a day, and gained the chaotic information was analyzed using a non linear analysis method. As a result, the differences were found in the value of the Lyapunov exponent as vital information reflecting the level of mental revitalization, the value of autonomic balance, the degree to which an individual is unable to shake off something that happened and worrying about the gap between personal emotions and what is expected of an individual as a professional in the case of Emotional Labor. The 4 patterns became clear, like the Tense Group, the Fatigued Group, the Stable Group, and the Easygoing Group. It can be said that the improvement of emotional control skills is important for a care for the elderly.
