Abstract:

Previous studies have found beneficial effects of aromatherapy massage for agitation in people with dementia, for pain relief and for poor sleep. Children with autism often have sleep difficulties, and it was thought that aromatherapy massage might enable more rapid sleep onset, less sleep disruption and longer sleep duration. Twelve children with autism and learning difficulties (2 girls and 10 boys aged between 12 years 2 months to 15 years 7 months) in a residential school participated in a within subjects repeated measures design: 3 nights when the children were given aromatherapy massage with lavender oil were compared with 14 nights when it was not given. The children were checked every 30 min throughout the night to determine the time taken for the children to settle to sleep, the number of awakenings and the sleep duration. One boy's data were not analyzed owing to lengthy absence. Repeated measures analysis revealed no differences in any of the sleep measures between the nights when the children were given aromatherapy massage and nights when the children were not given aromatherapy massage. The results suggest that the use of aromatherapy massage with lavender oil has no beneficial effect on the sleep patterns of children with autism attending a residential school. It is possible that there are greater effects in the home environment or with longer-term interventions.

Abstract:

This review was performed to determine the objective of therapeutic intervention on the learning of autistic children. This literature review aimed at addressing two critical issues: (1) the benefits of aromatherapy oils, including the understanding of its effect on ASD children in literature, and (2) the significance of its effect on their learning. An extensive search was carried out on various online databases, including ERIC, ProQuest Education Journals, and Scopus using the following phrases: (“aromatherapy oils” or “aromatherapy oils in learning”) and (“ASD children”). The studies selected for this review examined therapeutic interventions to improve the learning of autistic children and were analyzed using the content analysis method. Despite appeals for further studies in the 1980 and 1990s, no scientific evidence is available to substantiate the use of aromatherapy oils for learning. Although there are increased studies on aromatherapy oils, the impact on learning, especially for ASD children, has not been investigated. Furthermore, the methodological details on the use of aromatherapy oils in education remain poor. This study demonstrated that traditional methods for treating people with autism are not the only approach and that there is an alternative method using essential oils that is both healthy and toxic-free. The efficiency of basic oil was refuted, and clear evidence of essential oil benefits for people with autism understand was presented. This study would be of great interest to parties including parents of autistic children and organizations that assist people with autism.

Abstract:

Introduction: In dentistry, local anesthetic (LA) administration in children is often associated with behavioral problems. Hence, the present study evaluated the efficacy of aromatherapy in reducing the dental anxiety and pain during LA procedure. Methods: This clinical trial was conducted upon 150 children in the age range of 8-12 years. Subjects were randomly divided into five groups; Group 1: Lavender essential oil using nebulizer; Group 2: Lavender essential oil using inhaler; Group 3: Orange essential oil using nebulizer; Group 4: Orange essential oil using inhaler; Group 5: Control (without aromatherapy). For all the children, baseline anxiety was recorded followed by aromatherapy (except for children in the control group). Following the standard protocol, LA was administered. The procedural pain was assessed using Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability scale (FLACC) and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R). Finally, anxiety was again recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. Results: A significant difference in ANOVA test was observed among anxiety scores after LA in aromatherapy groups 1, 3, and 4 compared to control. When the FLACC scores were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, there were significantly lower values in aromatherapy groups compared to the control group. The pain scores, as reported in FPS-R, were also lower in aroma groups 1, 3, and 4. Conclusion: Aromatherapy with lavender or sweet orange, using either nebulizer or inhaler, decreased the dental anxiety of children, whereas, only sweet orange could reduce the pain as self-reported by children.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveThe role of aromatherapy in supportive symptom management for pediatric patients receiving palliative care has been underexplored. This pilot study aimed to measure the impact of aromatherapy using validated child-reported nausea, pain, and mood scales 5 minutes and 60 minutes after aromatherapy exposure.MethodsThe 3 intervention arms included use of a symptom-specific aromatherapy sachet scent involving deep breathing. The parallel default control arm (for those children with medical exclusion criteria to aromatherapy) included use of a visual imagery picture envelope and deep breathing. Symptom burden was sequentially assessed at 5 and 60 minutes using the Baxter Retching Faces scale for nausea, the Wong-Baker FACES scale for pain, and the Children's Anxiety and Pain Scale (CAPS) for anxious mood. Ninety children or adolescents (mean age 9.4 years) at a free-standing children's hospital in the United States were included in each arm (total n = 180).ResultsAt 5 minutes, there was a mean improvement of 3/10 (standard deviation [SD] 2.21) on the nausea scale; 2.6/10 (SD 1.83) on the pain scale; and 1.6/5 (SD 0.93) on the mood scale for the aromatherapy cohort (p < 0.0001). Symptom burden remained improved at 60 minutes post-intervention (<0.0001). Visual imagery with deep breathing improved self-reports of symptoms but was not as consistently sustained at 60 minutes.Significance of resultsAromatherapy represents an implementable supportive care intervention for pediatric patients receiving palliative care consults for symptom burden. The high number of children disqualified from the aromatherapy arm because of pulmonary or allergy indications warrants further attention to outcomes for additional breathing-based integrative modalities.

Abstract:

Chronic pain is a physical symptom often experienced by pediatric patients with cancer. Long-lasting pain conditions can cause the deterioration of the quality of life of children. In order to enhance their quality of life, they should get any intervention to control the pain. Besides the pharmacologic pain management, nurses also should develop a non pharmacologic pain management strategy. One of the simplest and cheap strategy which is currently being developed was aromatherapy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of aromatherapy for controlling chronic pain experienced by pediatric patients with cancer. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a consecutive sampling technique. There were 20 respondents involved, which were divided randomly into 2 groups. This study showed that inhaled aromatherapy proved effective for reducing chronic pain (p = 0.001) compared with standard care. Aromatherapy also have other positive effects that make the patient feel more relaxed and improve the patient’s sleep quality. Thus, the use of inhaled aromatherapy interventions can be considered to use in controlling the chronic pain experienced by pediatric patients with cancer to optimize the nursing care. However, further research is still needed by involving a larger number of respondents.

Abstract:

Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced nausea can be distressing and difficult to manage in children with cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of ginger aromatherapy in relieving chemotherapy-induced nausea in children with cancer. Method: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 49 children with cancer explored whether inhalation of the aroma of essential oil of ginger during chemotherapy decreased nausea compared with a placebo (water) or control (Johnson’s baby shampoo) measured by prechemotherapy and postchemotherapy assessment with the Pediatric Nausea Assessment Tool (PeNAT). Results: While well received, well tolerated, nontoxic, and noninvasive, ginger aromatherapy did not significantly decrease nausea in patients enrolled in this study. Among 21 patients who indicated feeling nausea prechemotherapy, 67% reported improvement, 5% worsening, and 28% no change in their postinfusion PeNAT score. We failed to detect a statistical significant difference in the change in PeNAT scores among the three groups.

To analyzes the effect of coffee aromatherapy on the fatigue and stress levels of female caregivers caring for the elderly at the University of Sumatera Utara Hospital (USU Hospital), in Medan. Methods. This is a quasi-experiment one group pretest posttest design. The research involved 16 caregivers were given a treatment of coffee oil by inhalation for 15 minutes for three consecutive days, without coffee oil inhalation and 10% of coffee oil concentration on the first day, 20% on the second day, and 30% on the third day. Each sample received a pretest and posttest in the form of stress and fatigue instruments. The data analysis performed was univariate in order to describe the properties of each variable examined and analyze the mean score. Similarly, bivariate analysis with the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical test was used to determine the effect of coffee aromatherapy on reducing the fatigue and stress level. Results. The result showed that most caregivers were elderly children with an average age of 38 years, 81.3% assisted in caring for the elderly, and actively working outside the home. Based on the ANOVA test, the data showed that the administration of coffee aromatherapy for three consecutive days has no effect on female caregivers’ fatigue and stress level. However, the mean score showed a decrease in fatique and stress level before and after coffee oil inhalation in three days. Conclusion. It is necessary to provide coffee oil aromatherapy intervention with a longer duration to have an effect on reducing caregiver fatique and stress in the future, so the results are expected to form the basic data for the design of nursing interventions based on complementary therapies in order to reduce the fatigue and stress of caregivers while providing care to the hospitalized elderly.

Abstract:

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) continues to be a common symptom experienced by children undergoing cancer treatment despite the use of contemporary antiemetics. Integrative therapeutic approaches in addition to standard pharmacologic antiemetic regimes offer potential to control CINV. The purpose of this review was to identify current evidence on integrative therapeutic approaches for the control of CINV in children with cancer. Online search engines (PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO) were queried using MESH terms. Titles, abstracts, and then full-text articles were reviewed for relevance to the review. The search resulted in 53 studies. Twenty-one studies met our review criteria. Integrative therapies identified included acupuncture/acupressure, aromatherapy, herbal supplements, hypnosis, and other cognitive behavioral interventions. Our review identified little information on the effectiveness and safety of most integrative therapeutic approaches for the control and management of CINV in children with cancer. However, evidence from adult cancer studies and some pediatric studies identify promising interventions for further testing.

Abstract:

Context: The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments in children is increasing. Due to the ineffectiveness of some pharmacological interventions or intolerance to their side effects, different types of CAM are used in various problems such as enuresis in children. This study aimed to introduce the most common complementary and alternative medicine methods used for enuresis in the pediatric population. Evidence Acquisition: Medical literature search was performed in several databases for a variety of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine in nocturnal enuresis in Children. Databases included Google scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, PubMed and a number of Persian databases including Magiran and SID. Clinical trials, case series or case reports that had evaluated the effectiveness of these therapies in nocturnal enuresis in children were included. Data were collected in English or Persian from inception to early 2021. Results: As far as we searched, more studies have been performed on some CAM methods, such as acupuncture. In some methods, such as reflexology, the studies are limited to case reports and in others, such as aromatherapy, there was no study related to children's enuresis. Based on the results, most of CAM methods have positive effects in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis and have their unique theories about the concepts of etiology, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Conclusions: Despite the relatively high use of CAM treatments in nocturnal enuresis among children, evidence of their effectiveness is not enough. More clinical trials are required to evaluate safety and efficacy of these methods.

Abstract:

In pediatric practice, much attention is paid to natural components used for the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections. Nasal drops Tamba Tuya (Adonis LLC, Russia) contain extracts of peloid from lake Tambukan, thuja, essential oils of fir, lavender, vitamin E, dexpanthenol, dihydroquercetin, glycerol, olive oil, and peach oil. These components are effective for the prevention and treatment of rhinitis, adenoiditis, bacterial complications, as well as for prevention of adverse reactions from decongestants. We have developed a method of its application that has not only local, but also systemic effects in children. Step 1: nasal rinsing with saline solutions; step 2: instilling Tamba Tuya drops (1–2 drops in each nostril) three times a day; step 3: infriction of the drops into the skin on the temples for 2–3 minutes as aromatherapy, which ensures penetration of the drug components through the skin into the blood with a systemic effect. Minimum course duration: 2 weeks. The use of the drops from the first days of respiratory infections in 30 children aged 4 to 7 years in the experimental group (30 children were in the control group) ensured milder (76.3% compared to 60% in the control group) and shorter disease (by 2 days). The majority of participants (83.3%) from the experimental group demonstrated rapid resolution of rhinitis symptoms and lower need for decongestants. A total of 86.6% of children in the experimental group and 53.3% of controls showed an improvement in emotional and behavioral responses, including activity, adaptability, intensity, mood, and distraction. Key words: children, prevention, treatment, respiratory infections

Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are lifelong neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by abnormal social interaction, communication, and behavior. Sleep disturbances represent a common comorbidity in children and adolescents with ASD, with prevalence ranging from 50 to 80%. It has been proved that sleep disruption worsens the symptoms of autism and results in challenging behaviors. Improving sleep should therefore be a primary therapeutic goal. Treatment options range from lifestyle modifications to pharmacological therapy. Several reviews have been written on pharmacological treatments, but very few on the beneficial effects of non-pharmacological interventions, over-the-counter drugs, and nutritional supplements. This study consists of a narrative review of the literature, presenting the available evidence on the following treatments: sleep education, behavioral interventions, complementary and alternative medicine (special mattresses and blankets, massage, aromatherapy, yoga, physical activity), and commonly used over-the-counter medications and supplements (antihistamines, melatonin, tryptophan, carnosine, iron, vitamins, and herbal remedies). For some treatments—such as melatonin and behavioral interventions—effectiveness in ASD is well established in the literature, while other interventions appear of benefit in clinical practice, even if specific studies in children and adolescents with ASD are lacking. Conversely, other treatments only seem to show anecdotal evidence supporting their use.

Abstract:

Over the past 50 years, health care has grown more complex and specialized. Health-care institutions now are staffed with an array of specialist physicians, social workers, psychologists, therapists, and nutritionists as well as general practitioners and nurses. The types of providers outside of the hospital are even more numerous and diverse: physicians; nurses; nurse practitioners; chiropractors; counselors; acupuncturists; herbalists; spiritual healers; and purveyors of nutritional supplements, aromatherapy, crystals, and more. Intent on distinguishing their "products," providers focus on differences, polarizing into distinct camps such as "mainstream or traditional" versus "alternative or unconventional." Although these dichotomies are simple, they also can mislead. The definition of "alternative" is very dependent on the definition "mainstream"; acupuncture may be an alternative in one setting, but it clearly is traditional within Asian communities. Therapies that once were considered unconventional, such as hypnosis and meditation, have moved into many mainstream medical settings. (See Sugarman article "Hypnosis: Teaching Children Self-regulation" in the January 1996 issue of Pediatrics in Review.) The public wants health care that is low-cost, safe, effective, and personalized. Practitioners of "natural" therapies often are viewed as more humanistic and less technological than busy physicians. According to one study, in 1990, alternative medical therapies were used by nearly one third of Americans.1

Abstract:

The objective of the work was to develop an algorithm for pharmaceutical consulting on the sale of essential oils. To achieve the set goal of the study, a content analysis of information array of data on aromatherapy products was carried out. The data obtained made it possible to systematize aromatic agents according to groups depending on their type and application (essential oils, base oils, cosmetic oils, massage oils, agents for baths, saunas and bathtubs). Having systematized the data of literature sources, we can draw a conclusion about such properties of essential oils as tonic, relaxing, soothing, anti-stress and others. Besides various therapeutic effects, it has been found that when using essential oils, not only individual intolerance of the constituent components can occur, but also various adverse reactions. In addition to recommendations for use, particular adverse reactions and causes of general adverse reactions, a number of general recommendations have been identified when using essential oils. Such as, essential oils should be used with caution by the elderly, children under one year of age, and pregnant women. Essential oils should not be used orally without qualified specialist advice. Essential oils shouldn’t be diluted with water. Essential oils in high concentration are irritating in case of contact with mucous membranes. People who are prone to allergic reactions should use essential oils with caution. When using essential oils, a cutaneous or olfactory test should be performed. In the immediate vicinity of the eyes, essential oils should be applied carefully, avoiding direct contact. Essential oil bottles should be tightly closed after each use, as they are volatile, and kept out of the reach of children and pets. Essential oils are not only volatile but also flammable. On the basis of the identified features, an algorithm for pharmaceutical consulting when selling essential oils has been developed.

Abstract:

The childhood incidence of bronchial asthma is the most common chronic pathology in children. Due to the influence of many factors,as well as due to the widespread prevalence, the problem is becoming particularly relevant today. In recent years, a frequently usedconcept of medical rehabilitation is the so-called “multidisciplinary approach”, which also consists in the implementation of a personalizedapproach. Aim. To develop a comprehensive targeted program for the medical rehabilitation of children with bronchial asthma, to study the effectivenessof a comprehensive targeted program selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the child. Material and methods. There was developed an individual targeted program of medical rehabilitation was developed, in accordancewith the procedures and standards of medical care, taking into account indications and contraindications, taking into account a multidisciplinaryapproach, and rehabilitation methods, namely, such as: climatotherapy, physiotherapy, speleotherapy, aromatherapy,inhalation therapy, oxygen therapy, hypoxytherapy, mechanotherapy, psychocorrection, massage, physical therapy, phytotherapy.The patients were divided into three groups by randomization, without reference to the treatment method or any other factor. Allthree groups of patients received a basic program of medical rehabilitation, which included magnetotherapy, dry carbon dioxidebaths,speleotherapy and physical therapy. Results. Positive indicators of clinical and laboratory results and subjective data as a resultof rehabilitation were obtained in all patients from all 3 groups. In children with bronchial asthma of mixed genesis, as a result of complextreatment, a significant improvement was noted. These results allow us to speak about the significant effectiveness of individuallyselected targeted medical rehabilitation programs in patients with bronchial asthma. Conclusion. As a result of the analytical work carried out according to the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of anindividual rehabilitation complex of procedures and therapeutic techniques in children’s patients with bronchial asthma is effective.The implementation of these methods in a complex improves the condition and well-being of patients according to a subjective feeling,and also allows us to reliably speak about the improvement of the condition according to clinical and diagnostic indicators. It ispossible to recommend the introduction of the use of these programs in the medical rehabilitation of this group of patients. Drawingup targeted programs for use in children’s patients with a history of bronchial asthma is an important link in medical rehabilitation,as it allows each patient to conduct an individually selected targeted rehabilitation program in the conditions of the department ofmedical rehabilitation for patients with somatic diseases.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a group of medical products and practices that are not part of conventional medicine.METHOD: The aims of this study were to identify the strategies of managing minor illnesses, perceptions and significant predictors of using CAM among Jordanian parents. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. The study was conducted in ten Ministry of Health comprehensive health centers in Jordan. A convenience sample of 328 participants was recruited and asked to complete a self-report structured questionnaire.RESULTS: Over 80% of study participants used CAM to treat minor illness for their children. Digestive system problems, upper respiratory tract infection, and urinary tract infection were the most common managed illnesses. Herbs, prayer, and aromatherapy were the most common types of CAM therapy. The most common reasons for using CAM were making the child comfortable, supporting medical treatment, and promoting health and preventing disease. The major sources of advice were self, mother or mother in law, and friend. 72% of CAM users reported that they always consulted their health care providers about CAM use. More than 60% of the study sample perceived CAM as complementary, safe, and efficient. Finally, CAM belief, father’s education, and living with extended family significantly predicted CAM use.CONCLUSION: Health care providers in general should be able to assess CAM use, provide accurate health education and encourage parents to consult their health care providers about CAM use.

Abstract:

Times have changed and seasons have changed. I remember with nostalgia the cool December mornings of my childhood, the predictable rains, the smell of clean air in open city spaces, and the sight of stars in the evening sky. There were fewer cars on the road then, travel time was much faster, and there were more rice fields to be seen by the road as one left the city limits. How different things are now. How amazingly fast have changes happened in one lifetime. Where the trees and cogon fields once were, buildings now stand. The city is immersed in a soup of soot and chemicals. The sky is grey and, sometimes, light brown. So many vehicles clog the city’s thoroughfares. My eyes tear with the chemicals in the air. The heat is worrisome. I have to deal with a chronic cough that improves with asthma medications or disappears whenever I leave the city for a cleaner environment. My sense of smell has greatly declined with the increased time and frequency of my driving through the city roads. Worst, the wonderful December mornings that heralded the coming of Christmas are gone… they have been gone for a long time. Is this what I want to bequeath to my children? Is this what you want for the generations to come? Are we going to fail as the previous generations have? What is it going to take to save our environment and avert climate change? Acting in numbers often gets results faster than acting alone. On my own, I have been trying to make a difference but, now, I look to the specialty society that I belong to as a vehicle for greater change. As more and more people are realizing the urgency of actions to save the environment that sustains us, I am sure that there are members in the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (PSO-HNS) who are willing to commit themselves to actions and lifestyle changes for a safe planet. The PSO-HNS is ideally positioned to make a difference. Spread throughout the country, we, its members, see patients who suffer from environmentally influenced and lifestyle influenced illnesses. Thus, we know what effects worsening climate conditions can have on health. We are in a position, not just to prescribe appropriate medications, but also to reach out and give meaningful advice. To give convincing advice to patients, we must start with ourselves. Seventeen years ago, I began a journey that I ask my colleagues to now take. To decrease garbage and lessen wastage, I began to segregate my garbage into dry paper products, tin and aluminum products, glass and recyclable plastic products, dry non-recyclable items, organic material, and wet non-recyclable materials. I would bring my newspapers, dry paper products, glass and plastic items, old rubber tires, and old car batteries to a junk shop. Later on, I would not have to do this anymore since garbage men and other individuals would come to the house to pick up the items that they could sell for recycling. The wet garbage went into my garden soil and into a composting drum. Even now, I re-use envelopes, gift wrappers, ribbons, and papers with print on only one side. I use baskets, not plastic bags when I buy my fruits and vegetables at the organic market. I bring my own stainless steel and glass food containers when I buy cooked food in the same market. To decrease the amount of chemicals that seep back into the environment, I refrain from the use of chemical sprays and artificial scents at home. I do not use chemicals in my garden. I don’t burn garbage. I don’t use diesel as a fuel. I regularly maintain my vehicles to keep them running efficiently. I plan my trips to lessen my contribution to air pollution. I support and patronize organic food growers as well as producers of natural products. I have greatly decreased my family’s use of plastic food containers. Every chance I have, I encourage people to minimize their use of chemicals, plastic and styrofoam. Knowing that the earth’s resources are used inefficiently with meat-centered diets, I eat more vegetables than meat. After all, it does not make sense to use so much land and energy to plant crops for feeding cows when we could use the land to plant vegetables and fruit-bearing trees for direct human consumption! As we develop ourselves into role models, it shall become easier to talk about environmental concerns to those around us. The PSO-HNS must make a stand on threats to the environment and the need to actively address the problem of climate change. It must make this stand public. Then it must affiliate itself with other groups that are committed to saving the environment. The Society could launch information campaigns on the interconnections of environment, lifestyle and otorhinolaryngologic health. It could tap its own members as speakers or initiate joint projects with other like-minded organizations. In the early 90’s, I organized a symposium in my hospital with air pollution as the topic. The speakers were specialists and non-doctors who were knowledgeable about the subject matter. Even at that time, the increased appreciation for environmental discussions was obvious with so many people in the audience. The interest that information campaigns would generate now would definitely be greater! The Society could raise funds and sponsor activities that increase environmental awareness and create positive results for the environment. How about raising money with a fun run or fun walkathon in the La Mesa Dam Nature Reserve? Why not a Doctors on Bikes event to underscore the significance of fuel-less travel? Or a Doctors Go Organic Festival? Perhaps a Mahabang Buhay sa Gulay activity? We could also do a Tulong sa Ilong, Tulong sa Kapaligiran mission wherein giving medical help is coupled with lectures on lifestyle and environment. We could collate and publish the contents of our environment and lifestyle lectures and sell these or give away to patients. We could incorporate environment games in our Society sportsfest during conventions. We could come up with PSO-HNS Recipes (For Health of Self and Health of Environment), Nose-Friendly Natural Aromatherapy Oils, Ear-Friendly Biodegradable Cotton Tips, and Recyclable Masks and sell these in our clinics, at conventions and in organic markets. In the PSO-HNS office as well as PSO-HNS conventions, the commitment to the environment must be evident. The use of long-lasting low wattage lights, recycled paper, natural soaps and scents, prudent use of electricity, and environmental posters on the walls will strengthen the Society’s image as a champion for the planet. During conventions, pharmaceuticals may be required to use only recyclable, non-glossy fliers and posters. These same companies may be reminded to refrain from giving away non-recyclable souvenirs. The convention bag should be made of natural, not synthetic, material. Certificates of attendance should be given only to those who need them. Clothing made from natural materials should be encouraged. Meals may focus more on salads, grains, vegetables and fruits and less on meats. After starting with ourselves and reaching out to others, the PSO-HNS could go international! Strengthened by local experience, the Society could embark on international pro-environment activities in coordination with otorhinolaryngology organizations in other countries. The PSO-HNS, having interests in health, science, and otorhinolaryngology, has great potential to be an agent for change. I hope my passion for nature shall become its collective passion too. This society is blessed with intelligent, highly skilled, creative, and similarly abled individuals capable of using its influence and resources to make a significant contribution towards saving the environment. My cool December mornings may never come back, but the PSO-HNS can still help avert the slide towards planet disaster!

Abstract:

Aromatherapy in Balinese life very closely. Aromatherapy has an influence on the function of the body such as making a fresh indoor air, creating a calm, can be used as antibiotics, antiseptics may be useful to take the fight against the virus, soaking emotion, can be a tool for relaxation, and also improves concentration. Concentration in the world of education is a very important one in doing general replications. This study aimed to verify whether there are effects of aromatherapy to the concentration of children in the fifth grade of primary school working on the general test questions. This research is a quantitative study with pre-experimental methods, sampling technique used is cluster random sampling. Subjects in this study were fifth grade elementary school students who are following the general replication at SD Negeri 5 Tonja by 82 students. Collecting data using a concentration questionnaire with Likert scale and data analysis by independent sample t-test. After conducting validity and reliability there are 25 items left from a total of 34 items on the reliability coefficient of 0.876. After doing the independent sample t-test significance p values obtained for 0.823 (> 0.05). This means there is no effect of aromatherapy to the concentration of children in the fifth grade of primary school working on the general test questions. Based on additional data to see the concentration of each day, there is an increasing concentration in the experimental group students, but has not reached a significant point.

Abstract:

Background and Objective: Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed on children today and is often the first operation a child undergoes. Postoperative nausea and vomiting are among the common and annoying complications after anesthesia and surgery. This study was conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy with orange essential oil on nausea and vomiting in children after tonsillectomy. Materials and Methods: This study randomized clinical trial was conducted on 64 children in Amir al-Momenin Hospital in Rasht, Iran, who were selected by the available sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, a questionnaire assessing the severity of nausea and vomiting during 6 hours of the intervention based on a visual analog scale, and the amount of nausea and vomiting in children 12 hours after the intervention using the Adapted Rhodes Index of Nausea and Vomiting for Pediatrics by Child questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 22) using descriptive statistics and independent t-test or analysis of variance with repeated observations. Results: The mean intensity of nausea and vomiting during 6 hours of intervention was significantly different in the two groups (P<0.001). The mean intensity was obtained at 11.23±2.25 in the aromatherapy group and 15.31±1.43 in the placebo group. Statistically, which was significantly different (P>0.001). There was a significant difference in the mean of nausea and vomiting of children in the placebo and aroma treatment groups within 12 hours after the intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, aromatherapy with orange essential oil had an effect on the severity of nausea and vomiting in children after tonsillectomy. Therefore, this issue must be taken into the consideration in educational programs by the officials of nursing education and medical centers.

Abstract:

AbstractEssential oils were proven to possess analgesic activity in adults. Children with diabetes are exposed to highly painful interventions such as self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG).An evaluation of the analgesic properties of two essential oils during SMBG in diabetic children.We included 73 hospitalized children (age<18 years) with well-controlled type 1 diabetes.The study extended over a period of 1 month (2 weeks for control group and 1 week for orange and lavender oil application). The measurements were performed four times per day in a shared room during SMBG. Pain intensity was evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS) and change of baseline heart rate (ΔHR%). An aromatherapy device was used to disperse essential oils in the testing room.We performed 647 individual measurements of pain intensity and ΔHR%. Girls reported higher VAS scores [median, Me 0.5 (interquartile range, IQR 0–1) vs. 0 (IQR 0–0.5), p=0.0036]. Both age and duration of diabetes correlated with ΔHR% [Aromatherapy decreased the autonomic response to a painful stimulus by lowering ΔHR%, but did not affect the perception of pain reported by VAS.

Abstract:

Background: Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory experience associated with actual or potential damage to body tissues. Therapeutic procedures cause fear in children, which in turn leads to physical and mental stress. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of aromatherapy and distraction on the pain caused by venipuncture among hospitalized children. Methods: In this clinical trial study, 90 children hospitalized in the pediatric ward of Ali-Ebne-Abitaleb Hospital in Zahedan in 2018 are examined. The eligible children were selected using the convenience sampling technique and were divided into three groups (n = 30) using stratified permuted block randomization. In the distraction group, a Kolah Ghermezi (Red Hat) puppet was used to play with the children before and during venipuncture. In the aromatherapy group, lavender essence was used 20 minutes before the beginning of venipuncture. No intervention was provided in the control group. The children’s pain intensity was measured using OUCHER standard instrument 10 minutes after the end of venipuncture. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 24 using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and post-hoc tests analyses. Results: A significant difference was found between the two intervention groups and the control group. Accordingly, both interventions could significantly decrease the pain intensity (P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two intervention groups concerning the impacts of interventions on the pain intensity. Conclusions: A significant difference was found between the two intervention groups and the control group. Accordingly, both interventions could significantly decrease the pain intensity (P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two intervention groups concerning the impacts of interventions on the pain intensity.

Abstract:

During the pre-operation period, surgical candidates experience situations that stimulate psychological anxiety leading to stress during and after surgery which is known as preoperative anxiety. This condition can cause psychological and physiological adverse effects on both children and adults. Due to the high prevalence and adverse effects of preoperative anxiety, different treatments have been evaluated including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. As pharmacological treatments may cause adverse effects such as breathing problems, drowsiness, interfering with anesthetic drugs, and prolonged recovery, non-pharmacological interventions are becoming more popular. These methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy, music therapy, pre-op preparation video, aromatherapy, hypnosis, guided imagery relaxation therapy, and massage. In this study, the most popular non-pharmacological approaches to preoperative anxiety are reviewed focusing on more recent evidence provided by clinical studies. The reviewed clinical evidence on the mentioned methods shows the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for the treatment of preoperative anxiety, so they can be used in patients of different ages and types of disease and surgery.
