Implementation of Aromatherapy, a Nonpharmacological Intervention, to Reduce Anxiety During the Preoperative Period
CONCLUSIONS: Heightened physiological response to increased anxiety leads to increased perioperative nausea and vomiting, higher pain scores, and susceptibility to prolonged recovery from surgery. Implementing aromatherapy can reduce anxiety, thereby attenuating these complications and preventing additional accrued cost. Furthermore, this evidence-based project has the added benefit of increasing overall patient satisfaction with the perioperative process.PMID:36732122 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2022.06.011 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 755: In Vitro Metabolism and CYP-Modulating Activity of Lavender Oil and Its Major Constituents
es R. Yates
The application of essential oils has historically been limited to topical (massage therapy) and inhalational (aromatherapy) routes of administration. More recently, however, evaluation of the therapeutic effects of essential oils has expanded to include the oral route of administration, which increases the herb–drug interaction potential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the herb–drug interaction potential of lavender essential oil and two of its primary phytoactive constituents, namely linalool and linalyl acetate. The metabolic stability of linalool and linalyl acetat...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1233: Interventional Strategies to Reduce Test Anxiety among Nursing Students: A Systematic Review
In conclusion, while numerous interventions to reduce test anxiety in nursing students were found to be effective, the quality of the studies investigating these interventions was varied with generally small sample sizes and limited follow-up. Future research should be conducted, and the same interventions should be carried out using a larger sample size to strengthen the body of evidence.
