Standardized order sets for postoperative patients often include antiemetic medications only for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of PONV in patients receiving peppermint aromatherapy and usual care to patients receiving only usual care.
Quasi-experimental research design used to evaluate the ability of peppermint aromatherapy to decrease PONV and antiemetic use postoperatively.
Intervention group received peppermint aromatherapy with a control group receiving standard of care. The nausea scale with descriptors was used to evaluate PONV.
Descriptive statistics and a χ test revealed no statistical significance (P = .28). However, peppermint aromatherapy was preferred by many patients as indicated by patients' statements and decreased ratings and complaints of nausea.
The peppermint aromatherapy was favorably received by many of the postoperative patients and may be an effective adjunct treatment with antiemetics for PONV.
术后患者的标准化医嘱集通常仅包含用于术后恶心和呕吐（PONV）的止吐药物。本研究旨在比较薄荷芳香疗法组与仅接受常规护理组患者 PONV 的发生率。
准实验研究设计，用于评估薄荷芳香疗法对术后 PONV 和止吐药物使用的影响。
干预组接受薄荷芳香疗法，对照组接受标准护理。使用带有描述符的恶心量表评估 PONV。
描述性统计和 χ 检验显示无统计学意义（P =.28）。然而，许多患者表示更喜欢薄荷芳香疗法，并降低了对恶心的评分和抱怨。
许多术后患者对薄荷芳香疗法反应良好，它可能是 PONV 止吐药物的有效辅助治疗方法。
