CERRAHİ HASTALARINDA GÖRÜLEN AĞRI, ANKSİYETE VE UYKU SORUNLARINDA AROMATERAPİNİN YERİ

Abstract

Aromaterapi, bitkilerin çeşitli kısımlarından elde edilen ve fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığın korunmasında ve geliştirilmesinde etkileri saptanmış esansiyel ve sabit yağların belirli oranlarda kullanıldığı bir integratif tedavi metodudur. Aromatik yağlardan psikolojik, fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlık üzerinde olumlu etkileri bulunmaktadır. Hoş kokulu olabilen aromatik yağların antimikrobik, antiseptik, analjezik ve sedatif etkilerinin de olması pek çok alanda kullanılmalarına olanak sağlamıştır. Aromaterapi; ağızdan, solunum ve deri yoluyla olmak üzere üç yolla uygulanmaktadır. Havaya karışarak solunum yoluyla alınan uçucu yağ molekülleri burun tavanında yer alan koku reseptörlerine ulaşır ve bu reseptörlere bağlanarak kişi tarafından ayırt edilebilmektedir. Aromaterapinin duyguları etkilemesinin yanında fizyolojik durumu etkilediği de bilinmektedir. Cerrahi hastalarının en sık yaşadıkları semptomlardan olan ağrı, anksiyete ve uyku sorunlarının yönetiminde aromaterapinin etkileri çalışmalarla sabittir. Bu derleme, hastalara etkin bakım vermede ilaç dışı yöntemleri kullanan hemşirelerin aromatik yağları cerrahi hastalarının ameliyat sonrası süreçte yaşadıkları ağrı, anksiyete ve uyku sorunları gibi semptomların giderilmesinde kullanabilmeleri için bilgi kaynağı olabilmesi açısından oluşturulmuştur.

THE ROLE OF AROMATHERAPY IN PAIN, ANXIETY AND SLEEP PROBLEMS IN SURGICAL PATIENTS

Abstract

Aromatherapy is an integrative treatment method, which is obtained from various parts of plants and has certain proportions of essentials and fixed oils determined to exist in the protection and improvement of physical and mental health.Aromatic oils have positive effects on psychological,physical and mental health. Aromatic oils, which can be fragrant, have antimicrobial,antiseptic,analgesic and sedative effects, allowing them to be used in many areas. Aromatherapy is applied through orally,breathing and skin. Airborne essential oil molecules reach the odor receptors in the nasal ceiling and can be distinguished by the person by binding to them. It is known that aromatherapy affects emotions as well as physiological state.The effects of aromatherapy on the management of pain, anxiety and sleep problems,which are the most common symptoms experienced by surgical patients, are fixed with studies.This review was done to obtain a source of information for nurses, who use non-drug methods to provide effective care to patients, and to use the aromatic oils in surgical patients to relieve symptoms such as pain, anxiety and sleep problems experienced in the postoperative period.
