KEMOTERAPİYE BAĞLI BULANTI KUSMANIN YÖNETİMİNDE AROMATERAPİ UYGULAMALARI

Abstract

Kanserle başetmede medikal tedavi yöntemlerinden biri olan kemoterapi iyileşme sürecine katkısının yanında birçok sorunun yaşanmasına yol açabilmektedir. Bu sorunlar arasında yer alan bulantı-kusma ve öğürme semptomları tıbbi tedavideki ilerlemelere rağmen henüz tam olarak kontrol altına alınamamaktadır. Kemoterapiye bağlı bulantı kusmanın yetersiz kontrolü bireyleri tamamlayıcı ve integratif (bütünleşik) sağlık uygulamalarına yönlendirmektedir. Kanser hastalarının, kanserle ve tedavi sürecinde görülen semptomlarla mücadele etmek amacıyla başvurduğu integratif sağlık uygulamaları arasında fitoterapi-bitkisel ürün kullanımı, gevşeme egzersizleri, hipnoz, akupunktur, akupres, masaj ve müzik terapi gibi uygulamalar bulunmaktadır. Fitoterapi başlığı altında yer alan aromaterapi, bireylerin bitkilerden elde edilen esansiyel yağları fiziksel ve emosyonel semptomları tedavi etmek/hafifletmek amacıyla kullandığı bir uygulamadır.
