The effects of aromatherapy using rose oil (Rosa damascena Mill.) on preoperative anxiety: A prospective randomized clinical trial

The objective of our study is to evaluate aromatherapy with rose oil the effect on preoperative anxiety.

prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel group.

The patients who will have Septorhinoplasty operation in Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital Department of Otorhinolaryngology will be enrollment. The volunteers will be randomized with closed envelope method 1: 1: 1 as the control group (Group C), the sham group (Group S) and the rose oil group (Group R).

The patients who will have Septorhinoplasty operation in Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital Department of Otorhinolaryngology will be enrollment. The patients who ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-II risk group and between the ages of 18-40 will be included in the study. Hypertension, cardiac dysrhythmia, chronic depression and anxiety treatment, allergy to aromatherapy oils, bronchospasm, anosmia are exclusion criteria in this study.

No application will be made in Group C (Control). In Group S (Sham), a mixture of 25 ml of 2% distilled water and glycerin will be added to the aromatherapy device. In Group R, a mixture of distilled water, glycerin and rose oil,2% 25 ml, will be placed on the aromatherapy device.

The first STAI TX-1 (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) (preop 1 in the clinic and preop 2 in the operating room) test will be performed by a researcher and responses will be recorded in the case report form. Heart rate, systolic-diastolic blood pressure of patients will be measured when patients arrive at the otorhinolaryngology clinic service.

Microsoft Exel random number generator function will be used with blocks of 30 for randomization as the control group (Group C), the sham group (Group S) and the rose oil group (Group R). The volunteers will be randomized with closed envelope method (number of 1-30) as 1: 1: 1 in operation morning. Randomization will be repeated every 30 patients.

Heart rate, systolic-diastolic blood pressure of patients will be measured when patients arrive at the otorhinolaryngology clinic service. The first STAI TX-1 (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) (preop 1) test will be performed by a researcher and responses will be recorded in the case report form. The patients do not know which they are groups due to closed envelop method. Aromatherapy will be implemented according to the patient's group by the care provider. The other investigator and outcome assessor will be in the operating room. In the operating room, the second STAI TX-1 test will be performed by the researcher who does not know in which group the volunteers are in the group. Preoperative heart rate, systolic-diastolic blood pressure of patients will be measured and recorded as preop 2.
