“…In their study, Chapman et al [4], indicated that an MRI simulator (before the scanning) can reduce the confusion and anxiety of MRI machine. In another study, Mohammad Kamal et al, reduced the patients' anxiety through providing information, creating enjoyable posters, presenting pamphlets in the waiting room, training stress coping strategies and proper communicative methods with nurses of the scanning department, and counselling on cognitive strategies [10]. Tazegul et al [9], reduced the scanning anxiety through providing information and communications with the patients via intercom [9].…”

Objective: Anxiety is one of the most significant problems of patients during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Anxiety affects the quality of images, increased costs and repeating the imaging process. Aromatherapy is regarded a complementary therapy that is assumed to be highly effective in reducing anxiety. The present study aims at investigating the effect of aromatherapy with Citrus aurantium on anxiety in MRI imaging. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was done on 80 patients with spinal disorders that were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, inhaling Citrus aurantium essential oil was conducted two minutes before entering the MRI machine and right before entering the MRI machine. As for the control group, the patients were provided with only the common cares of the medical center. Right after the imaging process, the anxiety experienced was evaluated based on the Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ). The data collected were analyzed in SPSS-21 with statistical tests including independent T-test, Fisher’s exact test, and chi-squared test. Results: The samples of both groups were homogenous in terms of age, sex, marital status, educational level, occupation, and the kind of disease. The mean of MRI anxiety experience was 23.32±12.72 and 37.4±15.41 in the intervention and control group respectively; the independent T-test indicated a significant difference. Conclusion: Citrus aurantium is likely to reduce the anxiety in MRI imaging. Given the proper effectiveness, inexpensiveness, and the easy administration of this aromatherapy, it is recommended to be applied for reducing the MRI anxiety.

“…Penelitian lainnya, menyebutkan beberapa cara untuk mereduksi tingkat kecemasan pada pasien, diantaranya dengan pemberian edukasi, poster yang menarik, dan penyediaan pamflet di ruang tunggu. Selain itu, komunikasi yang baik diantara tenaga medis di ruang radiologi dan penerapan strategi relaksasi dapat menurunkan tingkat kecemasan pada pasien selama pemeriksaan (Mohammed et al, 2013). Metode lain yang dapat dilakukan untuk mereduksi kecemasan secara umum termasuk pemberian aromaterapi, terapi pijat, relaksasi otot, terapi musik, dan pengawalan visualisasi (Homyra et al, 2013).…”

Background: The use of MRI as a non-invasive diagnostic radiological examination modality is painless. However, patients may experience claustrophobia and anxiety. Sensory intervention is a method of providing sensory stimulation to an individual, which is expected to reduce the anxiety. Purpose: To determine the effect of the sensory intervention on the anxiety level of patients using an intervention scent by inhalation and intervention sound based on heart rate and MRI-AQ in patients with MRI lumbal examination. Method: 24 samples were divided into three groups: intervention scent, combination intervention scent-sound, and control, with eight samples each. Intervention scent is given using lavender essential oil as aromatherapy, drop three drops on the mask, then put the mask on for 5 minutes before the examination until the examination is completed. Intervention sound is given by playing music (nature-sound) during the examination. Result: Sensory intervention, specifically the use of combination intervention scent-sound, significantly reduces anxiety in patients during MRI lumbal examination significantly p = 0.004 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The use of a combination between lavender and nature-sound as media for sensory intervention has a positive effect on reducing anxiety during MRI lumbal examination based on heart rate. Due to the easy administration of this aromatherapy and the minimal risk for this treatment, it is recommended that it is applied to reduce anxiety during MRI.

“…Which is a common specific phobia with a prevalence of 1.0% to 15% in the general patients [7] . The American Cardiology Association emphasize that it should be important for the physician, dentist and medical staff to deal with complications that may take place in patients who have hypertension [8] . In addition to the light-headedness, nausea, fainting, fears of actual harm, the blood pressure and heart rate increasing may present with anxious and claustrophobic patient.…”

Aim:To assess the effect of anxiety and claustrophobia on human blood pressure and heart rate during MRI scan.Methods: Samples of 48 patients who need MRI scan service were chose. A questionnaire and scales were used to evaluate the patients' anxiety group and claustrophobia. Blood pressure and heart rate were determined in before and after the scan in the same circumstances and methods. Results:The majority of the patients were female. The relation between anxiety scale and gender revealed that majority of the female have the high anxiety scales (68.57%). Alternatively, the minority of male have high anxiety level (40%). The relation between anxiety and claustrophobia with the systolic pressure before and after MRI scan, approved a statically significant difference with t-test=3.007 and, P value <0.05. No significant association was found of diastolic pressure and heart rate at the same time and circumstances with anxiety levels and claustrophobia. Conclusion:This study represents significant evidence for an association of high blood pressure with high anxious and claustrophobic patients, measured before and after the MRI scan. While diastolic blood pressure and heart rate did not change during MRI exam.
