GEBELİKTE AROMATERAPİ: BAKIMA TAMAMLAYICI BİR YAKLAŞIM

Öz

Gebelikte oluşan bazı yapısal ve fonksiyonel değişiklikler kadının fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkileyerek kadının yaşam kalitesini azaltabilmektedir. Bu makale ile aromaterapi kullanarak gebelik sürecindeki semptomların önlenmesi, azaltılması ya da iyileştirilmesi üzerine yürütülen kanıt temelli çalışmaların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Konuyla ilgili literatür incelendiğinde, gebelerde aromaterapinin bulantı, kusma, yorgunluk, enerji düzeyi, anksiyete, öfke, parasempatik sinir aktivitesi, stria gravidarum, kaşıntı ve sırt ağrısı üzerine etkisini inceleyen çalışmalara ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuç gebelikteki semptomlar üzerine aromaterapinin etkisiyle ilgili yüksek kaliteli randomize kontrollü çalışmalara gereksinim olduğunun göstergesidir.

Structural and functional changes that occur in pregnancy can affect women’s physically and psychologically health and quality of life negatively. In this article, it is aimed to review the evidence-based studies carried out aiming at preventing, reducing or improving the symptoms in pregnant process using aromatherapy. When the literature is examined, studies investigating the effect of aromatherapy on nausea and vomiting, fatigue, energy level, anxiety, anger, parasympathetic nerve activity, stria gravidarum, pruritus, backpain in pregnancies have been reached. It shows that there is a need for high quality randomised control trials related to the effect of aromatherapy on symtoms in pregnancy.
