Many women in recent years have been willing to undergo puncture surgery for childbirth, which, like other surgeries, has physical and psychological side effects such as incision, infertility, chronic pain, and anxiety. Therefore, it is important to reduce and improve these side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of foot massage with orange essential oil on anxiety in women undergoing cesarean section.
This randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2019 on 80 women referred to Bahar Shahroud Hospital after cesarean section surgery. The samples were divided into two groups by intervention (foot massage with orange essential oil) and control (foot massage without orange essential oil). The Spielberger scale was used to determine anxiety scores after cesarean section. In the intervention group, the feet were massaged with orange essential oil, and in the control group, the orange essential oil massage was performed without oil. Anxiety before, immediately after, and 60 min after the intervention was measured and evaluated in both groups. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Significant levels were considered for all statistical tests (p<0.05).
The anxiety score before the intervention in the two groups of intervention and control was 57.12 ± 3.12 and 57.07 ± 3.54, respectively, which were not significantly different, but immediately after the intervention, the anxiety scores in both groups decreased significantly so that there was a further decrease in the intervention group (52.10 ± 4.75 and 56.02 ± 3.77), 1 h after the intervention, the anxiety score in the intervention group decreased compared to the previous stage and increased in the control group (50.40 ± 3.74 and 56.85 ± 4.27).
Foot massage with orange essential oil can probably be effective as a proper nursing intervention in reducing anxiety after cesarean section surgery.
近年来，许多女性愿意接受穿刺分娩手术，与其他手术一样，该手术具有切口、不孕、慢性疼痛和焦虑等生理和心理副作用。因此，减少和改善这些副作用很重要。本研究旨在确定橙油足部按摩对剖宫产妇女焦虑的影响。
这是 2019 年在 Bahar Shahroud 医院进行的一项随机临床试验研究，共有 80 名接受剖宫产手术后的女性参与。这些样本通过干预（橙油足部按摩）和对照组（无橙油足部按摩）进行分组。采用 Spielberger 量表在剖宫产术后评估焦虑评分。在干预组中，用橙油按摩足部，在对照组中，不使用油进行橙油按摩。评估两组干预前、干预后即刻和干预后 60 分钟的焦虑情况。使用描述性和推断性统计分析对数据进行分析。所有统计检验的显著水平均设为 p<0.05。
干预组和对照组干预前的焦虑评分分别为 57.12±3.12 和 57.07±3.54，差异无统计学意义，但干预后即刻，两组的焦虑评分均显著下降，干预组进一步下降（52.10±4.75 和 56.02±3.77），干预后 1 小时，干预组的焦虑评分与前一阶段相比有所下降，对照组则有所增加（50.40±3.74 和 56.85±4.27）。
橙油足部按摩可能是一种有效的护理干预措施，可降低剖宫产术后的焦虑。
