Abstract:
PURPOSE:In this study, the effect of chamomile odssor on some parameters of pregnancy was examined. METHOD:This is a randomized clinical trial conducted on 130 primpa women. In the group of aromatherapy, women smell chamomile essence. The investigator recorded duration, number and intensity of contractions and level of satisfaction after the delivery. RESULTS:Duration of contractions, number of contractions were similar in all times in intervention and control groups (p > .05). In dilatation of 5-7 cm, intensity of contractions in the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group (p = .004). Level of satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group (p < .001). CONCLUSION:Aromatherapy using chamomile essence has no effect on the duration and number of contractions. It decreases the intensity of contractions in dilatation of 5-7 cm. Results also show greater satisfaction in women who received chamomile intervention.
