Randomized Trial Evaluating the Aroma Inhalation on Physiological and Subjective Anxiety Indicators of the Nursing Students Experiencing the First Intravenous Injection
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of aroma inhalation on the anxiety levels of nursing students who are practicing their first intravenous injections. Method: Participants recruited were in sophomore nursing students. Convenient sampling was conducted. The experimental group was exposed to lavender, chamomile roman, bergamot, and geranium inhalations. Three physiologic indicators, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate were measured. Two subjective self- reported instruments - ten centimeters bar sharped visual analogue anxiety scale and STAI(State Trait Anxiety Inventory) made by Spielberger - were used also. Results: The pulse rate in control group was 101.8 pulse /min and in the experimental group was 92.3pulse/min. The results were statistically significant between two groups. (t=2.05, p=.04). Conclusion: The effect of aroma inhalation was partially valid. Aroma therapy is recommended as a mean to overcome high stress and anxiety levels that students face in nursing programs.
