The present study was conducted as a randomised controlled design in order to evaluate the effect of lavender oil inhalation on pain development during vascular access among patients undergoing haemodialysis.
The study was conducted involving a total of 60 patients receiving treatment at the haemodialysis unit of a public hospital. The data of study were collected using a questionnaire and a Visual Analogue Scale. Lavender oil inhalation containing a 1:10 ratio of lavender and sweet almond oil was prepared.
The pain mean score of the intervention group was 3.8 ± 0.3 prior to the application of lavender oil inhalation and decreased to 3.0 ± 0.2 following the inhalation application; whereas, the pain mean score of the control group increased from 5.4 ± 0.3 to 5.6 ± 0.6.
It was observed that applying lavender oil inhalation to patients undergoing haemodialysis did decrease pain level experienced by patients during vascular access and caused no negative effects.
本研究采用随机对照设计,旨在评估在接受血液透析的患者中,薰衣草油吸入对血管通路时疼痛发展的影响。
本研究共纳入在公立医院血液透析科接受治疗的 60 例患者。使用问卷和视觉模拟评分法收集研究数据。薰衣草油吸入剂含有 1:10 的薰衣草和甜杏仁油比例。
干预组在应用薰衣草油吸入前的疼痛平均得分为 3.8±0.3,吸入后降至 3.0±0.2;而对照组的疼痛平均得分则从 5.4±0.3 增加到 5.6±0.6。
对接受血液透析的患者应用薰衣草油吸入可降低血管通路时的疼痛水平,且无不良影响。
