Abstract

Postoperative anxiety may increase postoperative pain perception and the need for opioids and potential complications of surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inhaled rose aromatherapy on the severity of anxiety after surgery. This clinical study was conducted on 100 patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery and was randomized into two intervention and placebo groups (50 patients in each group). After the end of the operation, all patients were examined in the recovery room for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), agitation, and pain. We identified agitation in 32 patients. After surgery, pain intensity, anxiety, nausea, and vomiting were less than in the placebo group (P< 0.05). Patient satisfaction was higher in the aromatherapy group (P= 0.011). Damask Rose aromatherapy reduces the severity of anxiety and pain and increases patient satisfaction after lower extremity orthopedic surgery. It is recommended as an inexpensive and low-risk complementary treatment.
