Aromatherapy, Used as an Integrative Tool for Crisis Management by Adolescents in a Residential Treatment Center

PROBLEM: Little is known about the acceptance and effectiveness of aromatherapy as a complementary support for agitated and aggressive adolescents. METHODS: Chi-square test was applied to satisfaction surveys, administration records of p.r.n. medication, aromatherapy, and seclusion/ restraint data. FINDINGS: Seventy-seven percent of the population accepted and used aromatherapy for crisis management. A trend indicates this population uses less p.r.n. medication for crisis management. CONCLUSIONS: This adolescent population was receptive to using less invasive tools for crisis management. A longitudinal study is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of this treatment modality.     

Audit of an aromatherapy service in a maternity unit

This paper reports the results of the audit of a maternity aromatherapy service at a small Midlands maternity unit. The service was introduced in May 2000 and the principal aims of the audit, conducted in October 2002 were to investigate clinical effectiveness, maternal satisfaction and staff training needs. The service has been shown to be effective in normalising childbirth and increasing satisfaction of mothers in respect of their labour experiences. A concurrent audit of staff demonstrated interest and enthusiasm of the service and identified areas for further development. The service was short listed for the Prince of Wales Foundation for Integrated Health Awards for Good Practice in 2003 and awarded a certificate of achievement.

Effect of aromatherapy with Damask rose on alleviating adults’ acute pain severity: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background and purposeAlthough recent studies have investigated the analgesic activity of Damask rose using aromatherapy in different painful conditions, the results are inconclusive. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to clarify the effect of aromatherapy with Damask rose on adults’ acute pain.Material and methodsThe online databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, ISI web of science, Embase, ProQuest, CENTRAL, CINAHL, SID, and MagIran were searched up to August 10, 2020. The aim of this study was to find randomized controlled trials on the effect of aromatherapy with Damask rose in any form of administration (inhalation, vapor diffusion, and massage) on different types of acute pain in adults. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Moreover, the quality of the evidence was evaluated by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Random effects model was applied to pool data using Stata.ResultsA total of 16 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which only one was not included in the meta-analysis. Pooled analysis revealed that aromatherapy with Damask rose reduced the pain severity significantly (WMD: -2.12; 95% CI [-2.85, -1.40]; P < 0.001). Inhalation aromatherapy (WMD: -2.39; 95% CI [-3.31, -1.48]; P < 0.001) and aromatherapy massage (WMD: -1.16; 95% CI [-1.57, -0.75]; P < 0.001) also had significant effects on pain reduction. The quality of evidence was low.ConclusionAromatherapy with Damask rose had a favourable effect on reducing the severity of acute pain in adults. However, there is insufficient evidence for the clinical benefits of aromatherapy with Damask rose due to the low-quality evidence. Accordingly, more high quality randomized clinical trials are needed to make an evidence-based conclusion.     

The effect of inhalation aromatherapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy of inhalation aromatherapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsWe conducted an electronic search of four authentic databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which compared inhalation aromatherapy versus control in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, were included. Data were extracted from eligible studies and pooled in a meta-analysis model. We sought to evaluate anxiety, pain, stress, and vital signs including heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.ResultsNine RCTs were included in this study with a total of 656 patients. Our analysis showed inhalation aromatherapy was significantly effective in reducing anxiety (MD= −3.11, 95 % CI [−5.26, −0.96], p = 0.005), and pain (MD= −0.83, 95 % CI [−1.59, −0.07], p = 0.03) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Additionally, inhalation aromatherapy significantly reduced heart rate compared to control group (MD= −5.49, 95 % CI [−9.07, −1.81], p = 0.003). However, no significant differences were found between both groups in mental stress, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.ConclusionInhalation aromatherapy administration especially with lavender can significantly reduce anxiety, pain, and heart rate in patients performed cardiac surgery. However, it is not associated with significant differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Further studies are needed to confirm our results.     

Evaluating the efficacy of lavender aromatherapy on peripheral venous cannulation pain and anxiety: A prospective,randomized study

ObjectiveThis study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy on pain, anxiety, and level of satisfaction associated with the peripheral venous cannulation (PVC) in patients undergoing surgery.MethodOne hundred and six patients undergoing surgery were randomized to receive aromatherapy with lavender essential oil (the lavender group) or a placebo (the control group) during PVC. The patients' pain, anxiety, and satisfaction scores were measured.ResultsThere was no statistically significantly difference between the groups in terms of demographic data. After cannulation, the pain and anxiety scores (anxiety 2) of the patients in the lavender group were significantly lower than the control group (for p = 0.01 for pain scores; p < 0.001 for anxiety 2 scores). In addition, patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the lavender group than in the control group (p = 0.003).ConclusionLavender aromatherapy had beneficial effects on PVC pain, anxiety, and satisfaction level of patients undergoing surgery.
