Aromatherapy, Cholecystectomy
Conditions
Brief summary
Pain experienced before and after surgery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy adversely affects physiological parameters and sleep quality. This randomized controlled study was conducted to examine the effects of preoperative and postoperative inhalation lavender and geranium essential oil on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy on pain, sleep, and physiological parameters. The study was completed with 3 groups and 150 people, namely the geranium oil group (n=50), lavender oil group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The ethics committee approval, informed consent of the individuals and the institutional permission were obtained. In the study, data were collected using the patient identification form, Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale and visual analog scale. Chi-square test,repeated measures one-way analysis of variance, and Spearman correlation analysis tests were used to assess the data. In the comparisons, the value of p\<0.05 was accepted as significant.
Interventions

OTHERIntervention group Geranium
This group received inhalation aromatherapy 2 drops of geranium oil from aromastone for a total of 3 days, one day before the operation, the day of the operation and the first day after the operation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The range of 0 (zero) and 10cm is determined on a ruler. 0 (zero) means no pain and 10 means worst possible pain. The patient is asked to mark the place that expresses the pain on the line. The distance marked by the patient is measured by taking the initial distance of zero. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire is a 6-item scale that evaluates the depth of sleep, the time to fall asleep, the frequency of awakening, the time to stay awake, the quality of sleep, and the noise level in the environment. Each item is evaluated on a chart with scores between 0 and 100. If the total mean score obtained from the scale is between 0-25, it indicates very bad sleep, between 26-75 indicates moderate sleep, and between 76-100 indicates very good sleep. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the sleep quality of the patient is considered. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological parameter (Blood Pressure) | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the patients were recorded by the researchers the day before, the day of surgery, and the day after surgery. |
| Physiological parameter(Heart rate) | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The heart rate of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery. |
| Physiological parameter(Respiratory rate) | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The respiratory rate of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery. |
| Physiological parameter(SPO2) | change from baseline score at the end of three day | The SPO2 of the patients was recorded by the researchers the day before the surgery, the day of the surgery, and the day after the surgery. |
