Material and Method: In this randomized controlled, prospective study, 73 experimental and 72 control group patients who will experience colonoscopy in a training and research hospital in western Turkey were included. While lavender inhalation was applied to the patients in the experimental group, routine care was applied to the patients in the control group. The short-form state-trait anxiety scale and general comfort scale were used to collect data before and after the procedure. p<0.05 level was considered statistically significant.


Clinical Trial Description

Colonoscopy is a painful and uncomfortable procedure, and patients experience anxiety and restlessness / tension before colonoscopy. It is stated that aromatherapy, which is a non-invasive method and easy to apply, can be used to reduce these negative effects. It is known that the fastest and easiest way of entry of essential oils into the body is inhalation. In addition, it is stated that it is safe to carry out these applications by inhalation; For this reason, studies are mostly carried out by inhalation of essential oils. In studies conducted in different fields, it is seen that lavender has positive effects on variables such as anxiety, pain, insomnia, comfort and vital signs. Looking at the literature; more music therapy and education are applied to patients who will experience anxiety and loss of comfort due to colonoscopy; As for aromatherapy interventions; In a study conducted in 2017 with Sunflower and Neroli (Orange Flower) oil, olive flower oil (Osmanthus fragrans) and grapefruit oil were used. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of lavender essential oil, which has been found to have positive effects on many variables in various studies, on the anxiety and comfort levels that may be experienced in patients who will experience colonoscopy. ;
