Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A sample of 60 randomly selected patients with patients Parkinson's disease was included in this study. The study subjects were divided equally into two groups; study (30 patients) and a control group (30 patients) matched as much as possible. Exclusion criteria included patients diagnosed for Parkinson's by a specialist, no use of any complementary alternative medicine methods (herbal medicines and other methods) in the past one week, no use of anxiolytics or antidepressants drugs, no history of respiratory problems as asthma, eczema and allergies to flowers and plants and no smell disorders.

STUDY GROUP

Patients' medical charts in the outpatient clinic were reviewed to identify those who meet the inclusion criteria. Patients who meet the predetermined inclusion criteria were recruited in the study using simple randomization technique using computer-generated sequence technique to pick up these patients. After simple sampling and dividing patients into two groups of study and control. Patients from the study and control groups were interviewed individually by the researcher to apply the study tools

The program of intervention took four-weeks for each patient (total eight sessions- four outpatient sessions and four home-based sessions- two sessions per week- one outpatient and one home session/week). The outpatient sessions were done once per week during the patient visit to the outpatient clinic, as the patients visited the clinic 4 times/ month.

Patients who meet the predetermined inclusion criteria were recruited in the study using simple randomization technique using computer-generated sequence technique to pick up these patients. After simple sampling and dividing patients into two groups of study and control. Patients from the study and control groups were interviewed individually by the researcher to apply the study tools as a pretest. Aromatherapy intervention was carried out for patients in the study group while those in the control group were left without any intervention to undergo the usual outpatient routine care.
