“…The results in this study agree with the results of prior studies on aromatherapy examining the stress relief of coronary angiography patients [34] and the stress relief of nurses in specialized departments [16]. Furthermore, in studies on the general population, lavender has been found to enhance parasympathetic activity and have significant effects on stress relief and sleep [35]. Thus, based on the results of this study, the inhalation of essential oils blended with lavender, ylang-ylang, marjoram, and neroli is considered to be effective in relieving stress, enhancing parasympathetic nerve activity, and helping to calm people.…”

Purpose: Patients undergoing cholecystectomy report experiencing stress related to the surgery, complaining of pain and poor sleep quality. Aromatherapy is known to have positive effects on these complaints. However, the effect of aromatherapy on cholecystectomy patients has yet to be determined. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate the effects of aromatherapy on laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients' stress, pain, and sleep quality. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial involving 69 adults who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Essential oil therapy was given to an intervention group, and almond oil was given to a placebo group. The outcome variables were stress, pain, and sleep quality. Results: There were no differences between the groups in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics and pretreatment dependent variables. After the intervention, subjective stress (F ¼ 7.43, p < .001), objective stress (F ¼ 2.70, p ¼ .034), parasympathetic nerve activity (F ¼ 2.65, p ¼ .036), pain (F ¼ 8.74, p < .001), analgesics administration (F ¼ 22.43, p < .001), and sleep quality (F ¼ 5.23, p < .001) were significantly different between the intervention, placebo, and control groups. Sympathetic nerve activity was not significantly different. The effect sizes regarding the sleep quality of the intervention versus control group and the intervention versus placebo group were 1.92 and 1.52, respectively. Conclusion: Postoperative aromatherapy received by cholecystectomy patients was effective in reducing stress and pain and improving sleep quality. No side effects of aromatherapy were reported during the experimental treatment.

Purpose: This study aims to obtain scientific data for establishing female images based on results from an evaluation of brainwaves and emotions, after applying five different forms of eyeliners on big and small eyes.Methods: We comparatively analyzed coefficients of variations for the brainwaves and average preference indexes (API) of 60 males and females (age 21–29), after applying five different kinds of eyeliners on big and small eyes.Results: The brainwave responses in males and females were examined by applying five kinds of eyeliners to their big and small eyes. This showed that the activity of the γ-wave was entirely higher in people when they were stimulated by pin-up eyeliner (PU) and the α-wave was less reduced than other frequency bands. The stimulation by the forms of eyeliners, rather than by those of the eyes of the people, could be a factor influencing the brainwave responses. The active sites of the brains of the males and females were examined. The results showed that each stimulus caused prominent activity in the brain, especially in the prefrontal lobe (Fp1, Fp2, Fpz). Differences were found only in the active sites and the degree of activity among their responses to each stimulus, but their response trends were similar. The API responses by various forms of eyeliners indicated negative emotional responses only when the eyes of the people were stimulated by PU, while the other API responses indicated positive emotional responses.Conclusion: The results of the comparative analysis on differences in brainwave and emotional responses, by applying different forms of eyeliners to people with big and small eyes, are thought to suggest a basic direction for expressing facial images. Therefore, it would be possible to collect huge scientific data for establishing female images, if the correlation among physiological and emotional responses can be drawn by applying eyeliners to people with big and small eyes.

Purpose: This study aims to systematically examine the effects of color arrangement on faces using a color application method for eye shadow: the contrast and similar color arrangement. Methods: Three kinds of eye shadows were applied on 30 participants (women in their 20s) with no eye make-up eyes (Non), depending on the contrast and similar color arrangement, method respectively. The coefficient of variation for brain waves (CVBs) and corner frequencies (SEF50, 90) were analyzed by measuring their brain waves as well as the scale values of eight pairs of emotional adjectives by introducing the average preference index (API). Statistical analysis of EEG and emotional evaluation was performed using SPSS, followed by repeated measure analysis of variance and post-test with Tukey's test at 95% confidence level. Results: Both concentration and awareness index, β, and γ wave, of the contrast color arrangement of eye shadows were entirely more activated than the similar color arrangement with an especially, high increase for the black/ white color arrangement. The activity was also stronger for the red-purple/blue color arrangement, among the similar color arrangement stimulation. The contrast color arrangement was commonly evaluated as hard, strong, and heavy, while the similar color arrangement was also commonly evaluated as soft, dynamic, feminine, brilliant, and bright. As the contrast of eye shadow and API reaction of similar color scheme were evaluated as positive (+), the degree of activity of β wave was small. Conclusion: The results of brain waves and emotional responses, to the color arrangement of eye shadows supposedly played an assistive role in producing effective images and improved interfaces, to establish a foundation for the quantitative DB of effects of eye shadow color arrangement.
