THE COMBINATION OF TYPE 1 DIABETES AND EATING DISORDER DURING PREGNANCY

Purpose: Anxiety is one of the most common problems before surgery and surgery of the nose is one of the most concerning and challenging surgeries among the plastic surgeries. The aim of this research is to consider the impact of lavender fragrance on anxiety and hemodynamics status before the septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty. Design: Parallel randomized control trial. Methods: This research was done by testing thirty-four candidates who were about to have the surgery in two groups of lavender (intervention) and control. The anxiety before and after surgery was examined by the Speilberger State Anxiety Inventory questionnaire and the hemodynamics status. For the analysis, the TTest, Mann Whitney Test and the X2 Test were used. Findings: The demographic features of the two groups were similar. Anxiety after the experiment was meaningful. The obvious anxiety in the lavender category was 25.8% and the controlled group had that decreased to 1.8%. The latent anxiety was reduced by 24.3% in the lavender group and increased by 8% in the controlled group. The systolic, diastolic and the heart rate after the intervention was less in the lavender group. Conclusions: Due to the ease of the inhalation of lavender and the lack of any report for the existence of any kind of side-effects for the prevention of anxiety during nose surgeries, it can be suggested that this approach can be effective for the controlling of the consistency of the patients' hemodynamics.
