The COVID-19 pandemic causes psychological issues such as anxiety, particularly in kidney failure patients who must undergo hemodialysis. Aromatherapy Lavender could be used to help patients overcome anxiety. The purpose of this study was to see how lavender aromatherapy affected the anxiety of patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research design of this study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-post-test control group. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 32 patients as respondents. The Zung-Self Rating Anxiety Scale is used by the instrument (ZSAS). The parametric t-Test test was used to analyze the data. The study's findings revealed a significant decrease in the intervention group's pre-post value, with a p-value of 0.001. The delta value of the control and intervention groups differed significantly, with a pvalue of 0.001. During the pandemic, lavender aromatherapy is effective in reducing anxiety of hemodialysis patients. Nurses can use aromatherapy lavender as a complementary therapy to help patients undergoing hemodialysis overcome their anxiety.
Hemodialysis is a long-term therapy that must be undertaken by patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients who undergoing therapy for a very long time will have an impact on the patient's psychology. One of the psychological effects that arise is sleep disorder. Poor sleep quality can lead to physiological changes, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the immune and nervous systems. To overcome sleep disorder in hemodialysis patients, nonpharmacological options can be used, namely Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy via inhalation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy on Sleep Quality in Hemodialysis Patients. The study was conducted on 32 hemodialysis patients, divided into two groups, there are 16 intervention groups and 16 control groups. The intervention was carried out for 3 times of administration during intra hemodialysis. The instrument used is the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) applied pre and posttest. Test data analysis using the independent samples test showed that there was a different in the average score for sleep quality with a p value of 0.000, it means that there was an increase in sleep quality in patients undergoing hemodialysis for intervention groups. Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy can be applied as an effective nursing intervention to overcome sleep quality disorder in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis is a long-term therapy that must be done by patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients who undergo therapy for a very long time will have an impact on the patient's psychology. Psychological impacts are anxiety and sleep disturbances. Anxiety that is constantly felt by the patient and accompanied by poor sleep quality can cause changes in the physiological, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, immune system and nervous system. To overcome sleep disorders and anxiety in hemodialysis patients, non-pharmacological options can be used, namely Lavender Aromatherapy through inhalation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy on Sleep Quality and Anxiety in Hemodialysis Patients. The study was conducted on 32 hemodialysis patients. The intervention was carried out for 3 times of administration during intra hemodialysis. The instruments used were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality and The Zung-Self Rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) to measure anxiety which was applied before and before the test. Analysis of test data using one sample t test for both variables partially showed that the difference in the average score of sleep quality and anxiety with each p value of 0.000 means that there is an increase in sleep quality and a decrease in anxiety levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis in the intervention group. Lavender aromatherapy can be applied as an enhanced intervention to treat sleep disorder and is effective in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
