Overview

Systematic review shows aromatherapy reduces anxiety in acute myocardial infarction patients, highlighting its potential benefits in clinical settings.

Key Points

  • Aromatherapy significantly reduces anxiety in patients with acute myocardial infarction, improving their care experience.
  • The meta-analysis revealed a substantial effect size of Hedges's g = -2.087, indicating strong anxiety relief.
  • Randomized controlled trials were utilized to assess the effectiveness of various aromatherapy interventions in hospitalized patients.
  • Despite notable anxiety reduction, high heterogeneity (I2 = 96.7%) suggests variability in aromatherapy effects.
