Although aromatherapy with damask rose can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality in different conditions, no study has yet addressed its effects among operating room (OR) personnel. Considering the high level of workload among Iranian OR personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic which can affect their anxiety and sleep quality, this study evaluated the effects of damask rose aromatherapy on state anxiety and sleep quality among a population of Iranian OR personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A randomized, nonblinded, parallel-group controlled trial.
Eighty OR personnel were divided into the two groups of damask rose and placebo (paraffin oil) using the stratified randomization method. In the first aromatherapy session, the participants inhaled two drops of either damask rose oil or paraffin oil for 10 minutes at the beginning of their morning shift. Then, they attached an absorbent cloth napkin impregnated with 5 drops of products to the side of their pillow for 30 consecutive nights. The Spielberger state anxiety inventory (SAI) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were completed before random allocation (T1) and on the 31st day of the study (T3). Also, the SAI was completed 90 minutes after the end of the first aromatherapy session (T2).
The mean changes in the SAI score were significant compared to T1 both at T2 and T3 in favor of the damask rose group (P < .001 in two cases). Similarly, the mean change in PSQI score was significant compared to T1 at T3 in favor of the damask rose group (P < .001).
Damask rose can be effective in reducing state anxiety and improving sleep quality of OR personnel. Further studies are needed to determine the generalizability of the findings.
尽管在不同情况下，使用大马士革玫瑰进行芳香疗法可减轻焦虑并改善睡眠质量，但尚无研究探讨其对手术室（OR）工作人员的影响。考虑到在新冠疫情期间伊朗手术室工作人员的工作量很大，这可能会影响他们的焦虑和睡眠质量，本研究评估了大马士革玫瑰芳香疗法对新冠疫情期间伊朗手术室工作人员群体的状态焦虑和睡眠质量的影响。
一项随机、非盲、平行组对照试验。
采用分层随机化方法将80名手术室工作人员分为大马士革玫瑰组和安慰剂（石蜡油）组。在第一次芳香疗法疗程中，参与者在早班开始时吸入两滴大马士革玫瑰油或石蜡油，持续10分钟。然后，他们将浸有5滴产品的吸水布餐巾连续30晚贴在枕头一侧。在随机分配前（T1）和研究的第31天（T3）完成斯皮尔伯格状态焦虑量表（SAI）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。此外，在第一次芳香疗法疗程结束后90分钟（T2）完成SAI。
与T1相比，在T2和T3时，SAI评分的平均变化均具有显著性，有利于大马士革玫瑰组（两种情况均P < .001）。同样，与T1相比，在T3时，PSQI评分的平均变化具有显著性，有利于大马士革玫瑰组（P < .001）。
大马士革玫瑰可有效减轻手术室工作人员的状态焦虑并改善其睡眠质量。需要进一步研究以确定研究结果的普遍性。
