Background: Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental disorders before and after surgery. Aromatherapy is a treatment that has grown substantially in recent years in comparison with other complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) to relieve anxiety. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of inhaling lavender essence on the physiological and psychological status of patients who are candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on 60 patients who were undergoing CABG surgery at the hospitals of Artesh Jomhory Eslami (AJA) University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Patients who met specific inclusion criteria were selected and randomly allocated into two groups: a control group that inhaled room air and an experimental group that inhaled from a piece of cotton impregnated with two drops of lavender essence. This intervention was done on the morning of surgery. To evaluate these measures, a Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire was filled out by the patient before and after the intervention. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistics. Results: After the intervention, the study results showed statistically significant differences between the two study groups in heart rate (mean = 78.83, P = 0.02) and anxiety level (mean = 6.63, P = 0.02). However, the differences between the two groups were not significant regarding stress level (mean = 8.63, P = 0.55) and other physiological variables. Conclusions: Inhalation aromatherapy is an effective method for reducing the heart rate and the level of anxiety in patients before CABG surgery. Given that the physiological and psychological health of patients are important responsibilities for nurses, aromatherapy can be considered a safe and effective relaxation method before invasive interventions. Learning this method is recommended for students and nurses.

“…En otros estudios, la prevalencia de síntomas de ansiedad es muy superior a la obtenida en nuestro caso. Así, la prevalencia de ansiedad en otras publicaciones varía entre 30.2% (STAI) en enfermeros de oncología (Faria y Maia, 2007) y un 54% en enfermeros del servicio de urgencias (Cooke et al, 2007). Si en nuestro caso analizamos por separado los enfermeros, nuestros resultados siguen mostrando una prevalencia menor de ansiedad (14.8%) que en dichos trabajos.…”

Resumen: Los profesionales sanitarios (PS) de las Unidades de CuidadosIntensivos (UCI) no son inmunes a los efectos emocionales que supone enfrentarse diariamente a situaciones de sufrimiento y muerte. Los estudios sobre afectación emocional en PS se han centrado en el síndrome burnout y han presentado ansiedad y depresión como consecuencias de éste. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar los problemas de ansiedad, depresión y percepción subjetiva del estado de ánimo en profesionales de las UCIs. Los participantes fueron 117 PS de la UCI de un Hospital de la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Los análisis descriptivos muestran que entre 14.6%-20% y un 4-7% de los participantes presentan síntomas de ansiedad y de depresión respectivamente. Los análisis diferenciales, muestran diferencias en función del género en ansiedad y en función del puesto laboral en depresión. La edad y la experiencia mostraron relación con depresión y ansiedad. Además, se realizaron análisis de regresión para conocer qué variables juegan un papel más importante en la presencia de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión, Los resultados muestran que trabajar a diario en contacto con el sufrimiento y la muerte, en un ambiente con numerosas demandas, puede tener consecuencias sobre la salud mental de los profesionales. Palabras clave: Profesionales sanitarios; cuidados intensivos; ansiedad; depresión; afectación emocional; estado de ánimo.Title: Anxiety, depression and emotional distress in the Intensive Care Units health professionals. Abstract: Health Workers (HW) who work in the Intensive Care Units (ICU), are not exempt from emotional effects of coping with suffering and death situations daily. Many studies in HW have focused on the burnout syndrome and have presented anxiety and depression as consequences of this syndrome. The aim of this work is to assess the anxiety and depression problems, as well as the subjective perception of mood of the ICU health workers. Participants were 117 ICU health workers of a Hospital in the Valencian Community (Spain). The descriptive analyses show that between 14.6-20% and a 4-7% of participants have symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. Differential analyses, show gender differences in several measures of anxiety, as well as on depression scores. Age and experience are related to depression and anxiety. Furthermore, we performed regression analyses to know the importance of the different variables in the presence of symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results show that working in daily contact with suffering and death, in a Unit in which the demands are many, could have implications for the mental health of professionals. Key words: Health workers; intensive care; anxiety; depression; emotional distress; mood.
