摘要

INTRODUCTION:
Anxiety increases significantly during labor, especially among nulliparous
women. Such anxiety may affect the progress of labor and physiological
parameters. The use of essential oils of aromatic plants, or aromatherapy, is
a non-invasive procedure that can decrease childbirth anxiety. This study
examined the effect of inhalation of the aroma of geranium essential oil on
the level of anxiety and physiological parameters of nulliparous women in the
first stage of labor.

METHODS:
In study, was carried out on 100 nulliparous women admitted to Bent al-Hoda
Hospital in the city of Bojnord in North Khorasan province of Iran during
2012-2013. The women were randomly assigned to two groups of equal size, one
experimental group (geranium essential oil) and one control (placebo) group.
Anxiety levels were measured using Spielberger' questionnaire before and
after intervention. Physiological parameters (systolic and diastolic blood
pressure, respiratory rate, pulse rate) were also measured before and after
intervention in both groups. Data analysis was conducted using the x2 test,
paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcox on test on SPSS 11.5.

RESULTS:
The mean anxiety score decreased significantly after inhalation of the aroma
of geranium essential oil. There was also a significant decrease in diastolic
blood pressure.

CONCLUSION:
Aroma of essential oil of geraniums can effectively reduce anxiety during
labor and can be recommended as a non-invasive anti-anxiety aid during
childbirth.


將100位初產婦隨機分成兩組，吸入天竺葵精油的組別，相較於控制組而言，
以量表評估焦慮情況呈現明顯改善，舒張壓也明顯下降。
