简要总结
This goal of this study is to assess whether lavender aromatherapy during gynecologic and urogynecologic outpatient procedures is associated with a decrease in patient anxiety levels. Based on similar interventions in other specialties of medicine, the investigators hypothesize that patients exposed to lavender aromatherapy during their procedure will have less anxiety than those who are not exposed to lavender aromatherapy.
详细描述
Patients who present to the Loyola Urogynecology office for an outpatient procedure will be invited to participate. Patients who consent to participate will be asked to complete pre-procedure questionnaires including an assessment of their level of procedural anxiety. Subsequently, patients will be randomized to receive either lavender aromatherapy or saline aromatherapy (placebo) during their procedure. Post-procedural levels of anxiety will then be assessed. Changes between pre- and post-procedural anxiety will be compared between the treatment and placebo control groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in state trait anxiety level
时间窗: Immediate post-procedure
Participants' change in state anxiety from pre-procedure to post-procedure will be measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y1). The STAI-Y1 is a 20 item questionnaire that asks participants to rate their state anxiety. The scale ranges from 20 to 80 points with higher scores indicating worse anxiety. The change score is calculated by subtracting the pre-procedure STAY-YI score from the post-procedure STAY-YI score to create a delta STAI-Y1 score.
