Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of aromatherapy on fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:Searching related domestic and foreign databases from the establishment of the database to September 1st, 2020, included 6 randomized controlled trials of maintenance hemodialysis patients using aromatherapy to relieve fatigue, a total of 435 patients, including 213 in the experimental group and 222 in the control group example. StataMP 16.0 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:The result of Meta-analysis was SMD=-0.94, 95% CI -1.71, -0.18, and the combined effect size of the two groups was compared, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z value was 2.42, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis using essential oil varieties as indicators showed that the lavender and citrus essential oil mixed group SMD=-1.89, 95% CI -3.22, -0.57, the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 2.80, P<0.05); The results of subgroup analysis using essential oil measurement as an indicator showed that the 2-drop group SMD=-1.65, 95% CI -2.65, -0.65, and the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 3.23, P<0.05); The results of subgroup analysis using intervention time as an indicator showed that the 8-week group SMD=-1.23, 95% CI -1.77, -0.70, and the combined effect size was statistically significant ( Z value was 4.51, P<0.05). Conclusions:Aromatherapy can effectively reduce the fatigue level of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and the positive effect of aromatherapy on fatigue is closely related to the type, dosage and intervention time of essential oils.
