The physical and emotional distress of nausea potentially decreases quality of life. Peppermint oil aromatherapy can reduce post-operative nausea. Mapp et al., (2020) found it reduced nausea in oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. Following Iowa Model framework, a 32-bed inpatient medical/surgical oncology unit implemented an evidence-based practice (EBP) initiative using peppermint oil aromatherapy with patients at risk or experiencing nausea with the purpose of preventing or decreasing patient's negative perceptions of nausea. The EBP team created peppermint oil aromatherapy cups consisting of two-by-two gauze and two drops of peppermint oil placed in lidded sterile containers. Nurses offered aromatherapy to alert, oriented, patients without respiratory compromise who were at risk or experiencing nausea. The multiple-use cup remained bedside. Nurses instructed patients to breath in for the count of three, hold for the count of three, exhale through pursed lips, and repeat three times as needed in anticipation of, or for nausea. Patient surveys collected from March 2021 to July 2021 evaluated the aromatherapy EBP initiative. Twenty-four females (80%) and six males (20%) responded (n=30). Eighteen (60%) were surgical oncology patients, and sixteen (53%) had surgery during their current admission. Twelve (40%) were medical oncology patients. Patients rated nausea as 0 (none), 1 (anticipated), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (great), 5 (severe) (Halpin et al., 2010). Twenty-nine (97%) experienced nausea within the last 24 hours. Nineteen (63%) received nausea medication in the last 24 hours. Thirty (100%) used aromatherapy. Twenty-two (73%) rated nausea lower after using aromatherapy (40% adjunct antiemetics, 33% aromatherapy alone). Twenty-two (73%) used aromatherapy multiple times over the last twelve hours. Nausea mean was 2.73 before aromatherapy and 1.4 after aromatherapy. Twenty-four (80%) rated overall satisfaction as very satisfied or satisfied. Peppermint oil aromatherapy is a safe, affordable, nurse driven intervention that can reduce nausea in oncology patients. In this EBP initiative patients who used aromatherapy kept it bedside and used as needed giving them a measure of control in their cancer trajectory. Patients expressed satisfaction per survey response and by using peppermint oil aromatherapy multiple times. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
