PENGARUH AROMATERAPI INHALASI LAVENDER TERHADAP KECEMASAN PASIEN GAGAL GINJAL KRONIK YANG MENJALANI HEMODIALISIS
Abstract: This study aimed to
explore the effect of lavender aromatheraphy inhalation on the anxiety of
chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study used “Quasy
experimental design” with “non equaivalent control-group” design. This study
was conducted at RSUD Arifin Achmad Riau Province on 30 patients. 15 patients
as the experiment group and 15 patients as the control group based on purposive
sampling technique. The instrument used was zung self-rating anxiety Scale
questionnaire which had been tested for validity and reliability. Lavender
aromatheraphy inhalation was given to the experiment group once for 5 minutes.
The analyses used are univariate analysis such as normality, homogenity and
frequency test. The bivariate analysis used t-dependent and t- independent
test. The result of study showed p value of 0,000 (<0,05) which mean that
there was an anxiety difference between experiment group and control group with
anxiety decrease of 4,33 on the experiment group and increase of 0,86 on the
control group. This result indicates that the anxiety score of experiment group
is lower than the control group after the lavender aromatheraphy inhalation was
given. The study result expects that lavender aromatheraphy inhalation can be
used as one of the nursing intervention to lower the anxiety of chronic renal
failure patients undergoing hemodialysis.
