Türkiye’de aromaterapinin etkisine yönelik yapılan hemşirelik tezlerinin incelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma Türkiye’de aromaterapinin etkisini değerlendirmek üzere yapılmış hemşirelik lisansüstü tez çalışmalarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Türkiye Ulusal Tez Veri Tabanı’nda “aromaterapi”, “nonfarmakolojik yöntemler” ve “hemşirelik” kelimeleri kullanılarak tarama yapılmıştır. Tarama sonucu 66 teze ulaşılmıştır. Tezlerden ikisi tam erişime açık olmadığı, 13’ü hemşirelik tezi olmadığı ve yedi tez aromaterapinin etkisini incelemediği için değerlendirme dışı bırakılmış, çalışma 44 tez üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Bulgular: Tezlerin 24’ü yüksek lisans ve 20’si doktora tezidir. Tezlerin tamamında aromaterapi olarak esansiyel yağ kullanılmıştır. Aromatik yağlar inhaler olarak ya da ve masaj yöntemiyle uygulanmıştır. Tezlerin 25’inde aromaterapinin kaygı/anksiyete/stres üzerindeki, 23 tezde uyku ve 19 tezde ise ağrı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışmaların tamamına yakınında kullanılan aromaterapinin incelenen değişken üzerinde etkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Son on yılda hemşireler tarafından aromaterapinin etkisine yönelik yapılan lisansüstü tez çalışmalarının sayısı artmıştır. Çalışmaların sonuçları aromaterapinin ağrı, kaygı, anksiyete, stres ve uyku gibi değişkenler üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir.

Investigation of nursing theses against the effects of aromatherapy made in Turkey

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the nursing graduate thesis conducted to evaluate the effect of aromatherapy in Turkey. Material and Methods: This study was conducted using the document analysis method. Aromatherapy, non-pharmacological methods and nursing words are used to reach the related theses at the Database of National Thesis Center of Turkey. As a result of the scanning, 66 theses were reached. Two of the theses were excluded because they were not open to full access, 13 were not nursing theses and seven theses did not examine the effect of aromatherapy, and the study was conducted over 44 theses. Results: 24 of the theses are master's and 20 are doctoral dissertations. Essential oil was used as aromatherapy in all of the theses. Aromatic oils were applied as an inhaler or by massage method. While the effect of aromatherapy on anxiety / stress was examined in 25 theses, the effect on sleep was examined in 23 theses and its effect on pain was examined in 19 theses. It was found that aromatherapy used in almost all of the studies was effective on the variable studied. Conclusion: In the last decade, the number of postgraduate thesis studies conducted by nurses on the effect of aromatherapy has increased. The results of the studies show that aromatherapy has positive effects on variables such as pain, anxiety, stress and sleep.
