Abstract

Objective : This study was aimed to review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about whether aromatherapy relieves stress. Method : We searched document about criteria to use words like 'Aroma', 'Oil' and 'Stress'. The study included 24 RCTs which were selected by total 167 studies searched in Korean Journal by searching OASIS, ScienceON, KISS, RISS. Cases that cannot be performed alone are excluded. Results : We got 24 domestic standard documents. Of the 24 studies, 14 were for students, and 6 were for patients receiving hospital treatment. Among the 7 treatments, dry-inhalation was used 13 times, and necklace-inhalation was used 9 times. Of the 24 Studies, lavender oil was used 19 times and sweet orange was used 4 times. Among the 28 types of measuring instruments used, 10 related to the autonomic nervous system and 8 STAIs and VASs were used respectively. Conclusion : It was possible to conclude that aromatherapy was effective in relieving stress. Through further research, it is necessary to study effective oil mixing methods, methods for measuring subjective stress, multimodal intervention, and effective intervention periods.
