背景:
2
目前
芳香疗法被广泛应用于临床实践中
尤其在治疗接受放化疗后的肿瘤患者中备受关注. 然而
芳香疗法的实际疗效仍有待深入探讨. 目的: 本研究旨在探讨芳香疗法对放化疗后的肿瘤患者身心健康的影响.
方法:
2
本研究系统检索PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、中国知网、万方数据库、中国生物医学文献数据库、维普网从建库至2023年9月29日发表的文献. 数据分析采用ReviewManager5.3版本进行
并运用Cochrane的偏倚风险工具RoB2评估纳入研究的文献质量. 通过GRADEproGDT在线工具
采用GRADE方法评估证据质量等级.
结果:

本研究共纳入19项研究
涉及1541名患者. 结果显示: 芳香疗法可缓解恶心[相对危险度 (RR) =0.64

然而对焦虑改善的效果尚不明确. 在应用Cochrane风险偏倚工具RoB2后
我们发现纳入研究存在较高的偏倚风险. 根据GRADE方法评估
所有研究的证据质量评分较低.
结论:
2
对肿瘤患者来说
芳香疗法是一种有效、安全且经济的辅助疗法
可改善其身心健康. 但仍需要更多高质量的研究来验证这一结论. (PROSPERO注册号: No.CRD42023390171)

Currently
aromatherapy is being increasingly utilized in clinical practice
particularly in managing the side effects associated with radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. However
it remains to be established whether aromatherapy can effectively alleviate these symptoms.
Objective:
2
To investigate the effects of aromatherapy on the physical and mental health of patients with cancer undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Methods:
2
Seven databases were researched from inception until September 29
2023
including PubMed
Scopus
and Web of Science
Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure
Wanfang database
China Biology Medicine disc and VIP Chinese Medical Journal Database. Review Manager version 5.3 was utilized for data analysis. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool RoB2 was employed to evaluate the quality of the literature included in the study. Evidence quality rating was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment
Development
and Evaluation (GRADE) approach through the GRADEpro GDT online tool.

but it may not have a significant effect on anxiety. The risk of bias was high in the included studies using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool RoB2
and no studies were considered to be of high grade according to the GRADE system.
Conclusions:
2
Aromatherapy is an efficacious
safe and economic adjunctive therapy for cancer patients
which can mend the physical symptoms and mental health of cancer patients. However
more high-quality studies are needed to verify it. (PROSPERO registration No. CRD42023390171)
