The effects of inhaled aromatherapy on complications of hemodialysis patients: a systematic review
Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 23
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of inhaled aromatherapy on complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: We search the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and China Biomedical Literature Database from their inception to December, 2019 to collect randomized controlled trials about the effects of inhaled aromatherapy on hemodialysis complications. Literatures screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessment for the included studies were conducted by two reviewers independently. We summarized all findings with qualitative analysis. Results: A total of 15 studies with 967 participants were included in the systematic review. Inhaled aromatherapy can reduce anxiety, depression, arteriovenous fistula puncture pain, stress and fatigue, and improve the quality of sleep and perceived well-being in hemodialysis patients. Conclusion: Inhaled aromatherapy had certain effects on complications in hemodialysis patients, which can be used as a simple and convenient treatment, but further research was needed to determine standardized implementation procedures and standards.
