Meme Kanseri ve Aromaterapi

Abstract

Sağlığı ve yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için tamamlayıcı tedavilerin kullanımı hem genel popülasyonda hem de kanser hastaları arasında yaygındır. Tamamlayıcı tedaviler kanser hastalarında hem semptomları hafifletmek hem de tedaviler sonucu oluşan yan etkileri ortadan kaldırarak rahatlamayı sağlamaktadır. Meme kanseri kadınlar arasında en sık görülen kanser çeşididir ve meme kanseri olan kadınlar fiziksel, sosyal ve psikolojik olarak olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Meme kanseri olan kadınlar genellikle tamamlayıcı yöntemleri rutin tedaviye ek olarak kullanmaktadırlar. Tamamlayıcı uygulama yöntemlerinden olan aromaterapinin meme kanser hastaları üzerinde semptom yönetiminde etkili olduğu belirtilmektedir. Geçmişten bu yana aromaterapi uygulamalarının hasta bakımında kullanıldığı hemşirelik mesleğinde, holistik bakım hedeflerine ve meslek etiğine uygun olması nedeniyle aromaterapi uygulamalarına yer verilmesi önemlidir. Bu makalede aromaterapinin meme kanserli kadınlar üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
