RESEARCH STRESS RELIEF ICU
NURSES
by KG Stiles, Clinical Aromatherapist
Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital
conducted a controlled research study to examine conclusively the effects
of aromatherapy on the relief of work-related stress for Intensive Care
Unit (ICU) nurses.
The controlled study was conducted on 14 ICU nurses over 42 nursing
shifts. Nurses were given Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and Clary
Sage (Salvia sclarea). Both essential oils have been shown in previous
research to calm stress and relieve anxiety. Over 57 percent of the ICU
nurses involved in the research study when surveyed reported a decrease
in their perceived stress levels after using essential oils.
"The study showed the use of clinical aromatherapy is effective in
reducing stress, which we hope will improve retention and turnover, and
increase nurses' satisfaction with their jobs," said Erin Pemberton,
BSN, RN, CPAN, LMT, CCAP, lead researcher and med/surg ICU nurse. "ICU
nurses are called to participate in end-of-life decisions and patient
resuscitations, and support families through a patient's journey. It is
important for nurses to have outlets and options for stress relief."
