SYSTEMATO REPORTING
a. Journal Title: Effect of lavender inhalation on the symptoms of primary
dysmenorrhea and the amount of menstrual bleeding: Arandomized clinical trial
Journal abstracts
Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Lavandula angustifolia
(laven-der) inhalation on the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and the amount of menstrual
bleeding infemale students with primary dysmenorrhea.
Method: Ordinal logistic regression and generalized estimating equation (GEE) were
used to analyze the data.
Results: The symptoms of dysmenorrhea were significantly lowered in the lavender
group com-pared to the placebo group (p < 0.001). The amount of menstrual bleeding
in the lavender group was reduced in comparison to the placebo group but the
difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.25). No significant difference was
observed for blood clot among the students (p = 0.666).
Conclusion: This study showed that lavender inhalation was effective in alleviating
dysmenor- rhea symptoms, suggesting that it could be applied by midwives in a safe
manner because of no side effects, simplicity and cost-effectiveness for all patients.

C. ANALYSIS OF JOURNAL PICO

NO KRITERIA JAWAB PEMBENARAN & CRITICAL THINKKING
.
1. P Yes participation of 96 female students who resided in
the near-est dormitory of the Tehran University of
Medical Sciences in 2011

2. I Yes The intervention group used lavender aroma diluted

in sesame oil in a 2:1 ratio, and the placebo group
used sesame oil only. The treatments were provided
by Barij Essence Pharmaceutical Company in Iran.
The students were asked to strew 3 drops of the
treatment on their palms, rub them together, keep
 their hands at the distance of 7—10 cm from their
nose and inhale for 5 min. The treatments were
administered to the students for 1 h after
experiencing dys- menorrhea. They were asked to
use the treatments every 6 h for the first three days
of menstruation. During the two consecutive
menstrual cycles, one of the two treatments (placebo
or lavender) was administered to the students.
3 C NO In this study, there isn’t comparison of interventions.

4 O Yes The symptoms of dysmenorrhea were significantly

lowered in the lavender group com-pared to the
placebo group (p < 0.001). The amount of menstrual
bleeding in the lavender group was reduced in
comparison to the placebo group but the difference
was not statistically significant (p = 0.25). No
significant difference was observed for blood clot
among the students (p = 0.666).

Conclusion: This study showed that lavender inhalation was effective in alleviating
dysmenor- rhea symptoms, suggesting that it could be applied by midwives in a safe manner
because of no side effects, simplicity and cost-effectiveness for all patients.
