Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
aromatherapy group
Each participant in the intervention group was provided with lavender oil inhalation in addition to their routine treatments within the framework of the application protocol. This was administered by two surveyors, instructing the patients to apply it themselves. The method involved placing two drops of lavender oil on a gauze pad, holding it 5 cm below the nose for two minutes, followed by three deep breaths. This procedure was carried out for one month.
Aromatherapy group
It is known that aromatherapy is used in symptom management in chronic diseases. When the literature is examined, it is seen that aromatherapy application is effective in relieving anxiety and fatigue in cardiovascular diseases. Currently, there is no symptom management method other than pharmacological treatment that is widely used or recommended by health professionals for ICD patients. The literature review reveals that there is no study examining the effect of lavender oil aromatherapy in relieving anxiety and fatigue in individuals with ICD implantation. In this context, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of aromatherapy applied by inhaling two drops for two minutes before going to bed for one month on anxiety and fatigue levels in individuals with ICD implantation.
