Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact that aromatherapy has on nurses' self-perception of happiness and workplace satisfaction. After completing the informed consent process, participants will complete a demographic survey, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), and the Nursing Job Satisfaction Survey (NJSS). Aromatherapy (AT), via AT stickers on employee badges, will begin after baseline measurements. OHQ and NJSS will be measured again at 3 months and 6 months of AT. After completion of the intervention, participants will also complete a qualitative survey addressing overall self-reported impact of AT. Analysis will occur after final data is collected.
