This study was intended to examine the efficacy of lavender essential oil for the alleviation of fatigue in haemodialysis patients.
This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 59 haemodialysis patients in two groups. The routine care group received the routine care, but the experimental group inhaled lavender essence 5% for 10 min, three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The Fatigue Severity Scale was used to assess fatigue before the intervention and after the last intervention in the second and fourth weeks.
No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the fatigue scores before, and after the last intervention in the second and fourth weeks.
Our result does not support other studies suggesting that lavender essential oil is effective on fatigue in haemodialysis patients. This conflicting result can mostly be ascribed to a variety of factors such as duration of aromatherapy and differences in concentrations of lavender essential oil.
本研究旨在探讨薰衣草精油缓解血液透析患者疲劳的疗效。
本随机临床试验对59例血液透析患者进行了两组研究。常规护理组接受常规护理，而实验组吸入5%薰衣草精华10分钟，每周三次，连续4周。使用疲劳严重程度量表在干预前以及第二周和第四周最后一次干预后评估疲劳程度。
在第二周和第四周最后一次干预前后，两组在疲劳评分方面未观察到统计学上的显著差异。
我们的结果不支持其他研究表明薰衣草精油对血液透析患者的疲劳有效。这种相互矛盾的结果主要可归因于多种因素，如芳香疗法的持续时间和薰衣草精油浓度的差异。
