Abstract
Background: Lack of a complete understanding of the pathophysiology of pruritus directs patients to different treatments. There is little data on the effect of aromatherapy on itching in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. However, the effect of aromatherapy on pruritus in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment remains unclear.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of aromatherapy on pruritus in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: The protocol of this systematic review study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024522699) and PRISMA guidelines were followed in reporting the study. The search was conducted in Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus databases without year restriction. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established according to the PICOS criteria. Study selection and quality assessment of the reviewed studies were performed by two independent researchers.
Results: A total of eight studies (461 participants), including two randomized controlled trials and six quasi-experimental studies, were included in the systematic review. All included studies concluded that aromatherapy reduces pruritus. The studies reported no adverse effects of aromatherapy.
Conclusion: The studies included in this systematic review found that aromatherapy has a positive effect on reducing pruritus in hemodialysis patients. It is recommended that studies of high methodological quality be conducted to investigate the efficacy of aromatherapy on pruritus in people undergoing hemodialysis treatment.
背景：对瘙痒的病理生理缺乏完整的认识，导致患者采取不同的治疗方法。关于芳香疗法对接受血液透析治疗的患者瘙痒的影响的数据很少。然而，芳香疗法对接受血液透析治疗的患者瘙痒的影响尚不清楚。目的：探讨芳香疗法对血液透析患者瘙痒的治疗效果。方法：本系统评价研究的方案已在PROSPERO注册（CRD42024522699），并遵循PRISMA指南进行研究报告。检索在Pubmed， Web of Science和Scopus数据库中进行，没有年份限制。根据PICOS标准建立纳入和排除标准。研究的选择和质量评估由两名独立的研究人员进行。结果：系统评价共纳入8项研究（461名受试者），包括2项随机对照试验和6项准实验研究。所有纳入的研究都得出结论，芳香疗法可以减轻瘙痒。研究报告芳香疗法没有不良反应。结论：本系统综述的研究发现芳香疗法对减轻血液透析患者瘙痒有积极作用。建议进行高方法学质量的研究，以调查芳香疗法对接受血液透析治疗的人瘙痒的疗效。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
