“…Research to date provides some evidence that providing integrative care can lead to positive patient outcomes. [10][11][12] When reviewing the evidence for use of complementary care techniques, the majority of studies are among patients with cancer in hospice and palliative care. Research in this population supports the use of these complementary techniques to reduce anxiety, pain, coughing, fatigue, nausea, and insomnia among hospice and palliative care patients.…”

Purpose: To examine the effect of education on nursing personnel's knowledge and attitudes regarding the use of hand massage, breathing techniques, and essential oils with hospice and palliative care patients.Background: Unrelieved, end of life pain is common among hospitalized patients on hospice and palliative care units. Integrative care techniques such as hand massage, breathing techniques, and essential oils can be available to use with these individuals. Nursing personnel are often unaware of other techniques that are not a traditional pharmacology approach to pain.Methods: A quasi-experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on nursing personnel's knowledge and attitudes regarding the use of three integrative care techniques (hand massage, breathing techniques, and essential oils) with hospice and palliative care patients in an acute care setting.Data on knowledge and attitudes were collected pre-and postintervention.Results: Following the intervention, improvements in nursing personnel's attitudes and knowledge toward the use of the three techniques were found. Conclusion:Results of this study suggest that education of nursing personnel may positively influence knowledge and attitudes toward providing hand massage, breathing techniques, and essential oil for end of life patients.

For example, symptoms such as pain and anxiety are a concern for nursing personnel who work on hospice and palliative care units. Unrelieved pain is one symptom that can diminish dignity as well as overall comfort among hospice and palliative care patients' as they approach the end of life. 1,2 In response to difficulties in relieving patients' pain, The Joint commission 3 modified pain management standards to provide a more patient-centered approach.The Joint Commission 4 endorsed non-pharmacologic strategies in combination with pharmacologic treatments and stated non-opioid options can include "physical interventions, including acupuncture, massage therapy and spinal manipulation." 5 An integrative approach

“…The evidence from all the literature reviewed either displayed a confidence interval of 95% or a probability value ≤0.05 ( p ≤ .05). Some of the evidence demonstrated not only a reduction in pain scores but also a reduction in anxiety ( p = .007) and nausea ( p = .001) (Buckle, 2016; Joswiak et al, 2016; Karaman et al, 2016; Meghani et al, 2017; Seyyed-Rasooli et al, 2016; Yayla & Ozdemir, 2019).…”

Evaluating the Aromatherapy Recommendation for Pain in the Holistic Nurses' Pain Relief Tools for Patients and Self-Care

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose of Study: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of the aromatherapy (AT) recommendation in the American Holistic Nurses Association's (AHNA’s) Holistic Nurses' Pain Relief Tools for Patients and Self-Care (Pain Tool). Methodology: An observational survey design was used and a purposeful sample of 55 nurses were invited to a two-part, 15-question survey administered via SurveyMonkey. The demographic data were analyzed with quantitative analysis and the open-ended questions were analyzed via content analysis. Results: A total of 55 registered nurses completed the survey and the mean age of participants was 53 years old. Lavender essential oil (EO) was used by 100% ( N = 55) of participants and the inhalation method was favored (93%; n = 51). The AT recommendation was most helpful for educational purposes (29%; n = 16) and to reduce symptoms of pain (21%; n = 8). A majority of participants used the five holistic nursing core values (70%; n = 31) as well as promote more options for pain management (48%; n = 13) to improve outcomes (30%; n = 13). Respondents recommend the addition of more EOs and safety information (23%; n = 8). Finally, five recommendations were made to AHNA. Implication for Practice: Nurses who use AT (guideline) as a safe, cost-effective intervention for pain improve quality outcomes.

“…

The use of essential oils (EOs) in the promotion of health and treatment of illness is a centuries old practice across the globe (Buckle, 2015;Koo, 2017). Conventional, Western medicine, however, has largely marginalized the use of EOs (Schneider et al, 2018) until recently, when the interest in the integration of holistic and natural therapies into clinical practice settings increased (Joswiak et al, 2016;Knutson et al, 2013). Increasing annual imports of EOs suggest that their use as self-care interventions is growing in popularity (International Trade Centre, n.d.;Manion & Widder, 2017).

et al. 2020

Purpose: To examine the following variables related to essential oil use: familiarity, enjoyment, influence on relaxation, intention for future use, and acceptance among women undergoing breast-imaging procedures. Design: A descriptive, exploratory study. Method: An investigator-designed questionnaire was used to gather demographic information and study variables ( N = 51). Data on age and scheduled procedure were collected. Data collected on essential oils included choice, anxiety, acceptance, familiarity, relaxation response, enjoyment with use, and intention to use in the future. Acceptance of essential oils was derived from the prompt included on the questionnaire “please tell us the reason you accepted the Essential Oil today.” Findings: Enjoyment with essential oils was high 97.9% ( n = 48), 76% ( n = 38) were familiar with their use, a majority 94% ( n = 48) of participants experienced some degree of relaxation following their use, and 94% ( n = 46) would continue their use in the future. Acceptance of essential oils was based largely on familiarity with their use. Conclusions: A majority of participants in this study enjoyed essential oils, were familiar with their use, experienced relaxation following use, and intended to use them in the future when undergoing breast-imaging procedures.
