Summary
This project will evaluate the integration of lavender essential oil in surgical patients during the perioperative and postoperative phase of care. The study will assess patients' pain, sleep quality, and mood. The goal is to support that lavender oil will decrease pain scores and narcotic use, increase sleep quality, and decrease anxiety by improving overall patient satisfaction and supporting their natural sense of well being. This research project will help support the use of complementary medicine in a hospital setting. The increased awareness and use of complementary medicine in a hospital setting will strengthen the patient centered care model that all hospitals strive to achieve.
