简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of aromatherapy impacts patient anxiety and pain scores surrounding port access in pediatric oncology patients between the ages of 4 years and 18 years.
详细描述
Specific aims include the following:
Aim 1: To compare pre and post port access anxiety scores for both control and intervention groups.
Aim 2: To assess pre and post port pain scores surrounding port access for both control and intervention groups.
Aim 3: To compare pain and anxiety scores between age groups. The overall goal of this pilot study is to identify if aromatherapy, using non-topical, STILL QuickTAB Medipack blended scent aromatherapy, manufactured by Soothing Scents, is effective as a valid non-pharmacologic supplementation in reducing anxiety and pain scores during port access in pediatric oncology patients.
