Brief summary
Cardiovascular diseases are among the important health problems due to their increasing frequency and extensity in developed and developing countries. The most common method of treating cardiovascular diseases is Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Common pain, sleep problems, and anxiety after CABG surgery can cause delay in postoperative recovery both physically and mentally. The study was planned to evaluate the effect of lavender oil inhalation on pain, anxiety level and sleep quality after CABG surgery.
Detailed description
The study is a non-drug clinical, randomized controlled study, and will be conducted in the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi associated to Istanbul Provincial Directorate of Health between December 2020 and December 2021. Criteria to be included in the study were determined as patients who are aged 18 years and over, underwent planned (elective) CABG surgery, whose lavender oil allergy test is negative, who is conscious with place, person and time orientation, who do not have any disability that would make communication difficult, can be communicated in Turkish, were informed to participate in the study and gave written consent. Criteria to be excluded from the study were determined as patients who are allergic to lavender, cosmetics and perfume, have a history of dermatitis, are diagnosed with sleep disorders and use any pharmacological and herbal medicines for these disorders, have sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection, liver and kidney dysfunction, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), whose blood pressure is not regulated, have arrhythmia, use controlled analgesia after surgery and cannot be communicated in Turkish. Criteria to be eliminated from the study were determined as patients, who have positive lavender oil allergy test, develop lavender allergy during application, want to leave the study voluntarily, and do not comply with the working process and conditions.
