“…Anxiety during pregnancy is one of the normal adaptations most women face, especially in the first trimester, due to biopsychosocial adjustments [2,3]. This anxiety tends to increase, at the expense of constant changes throughout the pregnancy and instability with the body image, alongside external factors, such as stress at work, and financial, social or relationship difficulties [2]. The positive influence of good sleep quality on the reduction of physical discomforts and consequently improvement of the daily life activities of pregnant women is also highlighted [4].…”

Introduction: The analysis of maternal psychosocial stress during pregnancy can be an important intervention tool for maternal and infant health. Objective: To translate, culturally adapt and validate the Pregnancy Experience Scale - Brief Version - into Brazilian Portuguese for Brazilian pregnant women. Method: The scale was carried out according to the guidelines recommended by Beaton and his collaborators. Data were collected between January and September of 2016, in hospitals, basic health units, and community. In total, 206 pregnant women with an average age of 25.01 ± 6.44 years and gestational age of 25.5 ± 8.72 pregnancy weeks answered the scale for the process of psychometric analysis and validation. Results: The results indicated a two-dimensional model of the scale with two factors: Positive Experiences and Negative Experiences. The reliability was established through Cronbach’s Alpha Test (α > 0.70). The value found for the positive experiences factor was appropriate, α = 0.77. The same happened to the Negative Experiences factor, α = 0.80. These values provide evidence of the scale reliability. The convergent and concurrent validity of the instrument was established. Conclusion: The result of the psychometric study of the scale pointed out that the Pregnancy Experience Scale is an important intervention tool for the health care of mother and newborn, besides being a useful instrument to assess the experience of the women with the pregnancy, especially, the level of psychosocial stress, contributing to broaden the research in this area and subsidize support strategies for this population and women’s health policies.

“…En un estudio realizado por Aisyah se demuestra cómo el uso del aceite de lavanda en conjunto con la musicoterapia lograron disminuir el nivel de ansiedad en las mujeres gestantes (43). Otro estudio que refleja las propiedades de la lavanda es el de Bastard y Tiran, quienes comprueban la gran efectividad para tratar la ansiedad, el estrés y la depresión durante el embarazo (44); de igual forma, lo menciona Sasirekha en su investigación, probando el uso del aceite de lavanda para contrarrestar la ansiedad (45). Con respecto al estrés que se puede generar durante la gestación, no propiamente por dicha condición, sino también por factores externos, se ha probado el beneficio del aceite esencial de lavanda (46)(47)(48).…”

Aromatherapy offers energy, treatment, and the balancing of body, mind, and soul by both scientific and artistic approaches. It is a non-pharmacological method that releases the healing power of essential oils obtained from herbal resources for improving a person mentally, physically and spiritually and also provides homeostasis. Aromatherapy has been used for 4,000 years as an integrative and complementary care practice. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the studies of aromatherapy conducted in Turkey. In particular, regarding the type of research, investigators characteristics, sampling, subjects, and conclusions of the studies. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Theses and studies about aromatherapy conducted by nurses between the years of 2007-2017 are included in this study. The data from the theses were obtained from the 'Turkey National Thesis Database' and the databases of medicine and nursing (ScienceDirect, Pubmed, and Ulakbim). The research sample comprises 35 studies conducted in Turkey between the years of 2007-2017. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : There were 35 studies about aromatherapy conducted in Turkey between 2007 and 2017. Of these, 77.1% (n=27) were postgraduate and doctoral theses. In this survey, 25.7% (n=9) are postgraduate theses, 51.4% (n=18) are doctoral theses, and 22.8% are research papers. Aromatherapy is mostly researched in doctoral theses in Turkey. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : It was observed that pregnant women, the elderly, and patients with osteoarthritis, dementia, and cancer are most analyzed in studies conducted about the application of aromatherapy. In these studies, aromatherapy was used for pain control, relieving constipation, managing symptoms such as tiredness and anxiety, and increasing the quality of life. It is thought that aromatherapy has a positive effect on physiological and psychological well-being. Ease of use, efficiency and affordability are factors that increase the use of aromatherapy. To continue in this direction, nurses need to apply therapies that have multi-dimensional benefits, such as aromatherapy, correctly and effectively by learning from experienced professionals and attach these applications to nursing care by analyzing evidence-based surveys in the relevant areas.
