Effect of Lavender Oil Inhalation in Colonoscopy Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of lavender oil inhalation on the anxiety and comfort levels of patients who will undergo colonoscopy. 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. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
