Abstract

The entire process of pregnancy, birth and postpartum falls within the perinatal period. The perinatal period is a process that must be closely monitored in order to protect and ensure the continuity of the health of the woman and her baby. Many physiological, anatomical and emotional changes occur in the woman during pregnancy and birth. These changes can negatively affect the woman's health and reduce her quality of life. In order to cope with these changes and increase her quality of life, women may prefer non-pharmacological applications instead of pharmacological applications due to the thought of harming their baby and themselves. One of the non-pharmacological methods that can be used in the perinatal process is aromatherapy. Aromatherapy reduces the woman's fatigue and stress levels, allows her to relax and have a more positive experience. The purpose of this review is to examine the use of aromatherapy in the perinatal period and present it in line with the literature.

Özet

Gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonrası sürecin tamamı perinatal dönem içerisine girmektedir. Perinatal dönem, kadın ve bebeğinin sağlığının korunup devamlılığının sağlanabilmesi için yakından takip edilmesi gereken bir süreçtir. Gebelik ve doğum sürecinde kadında pek çok fizyolojik, anatomik ve duygusal değişimler meydana gelmektedir. Yaşanan bu değişimler kadının sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkileyerek yaşam kalitesini düşürebilmektedir. Kadınlar bu değişimler ile baş edebilmek ve yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için bebeğine ve kendisine zarar verme düşüncesi sebebiyle farmokolijik uygulamalar yerine nonfarmokolojik uygulamaları tercih edebilmektelerdir. Perinatal süreçte kullanılabilinecek nonfarmokolojik yöntemlerden biri de aromaterapidir. Aromaterapi kadının yorgunluk ve stres düzeyini düşürerek gevşemesini ve rahatlamasını sağlayarak daha pozitif bir deneyim yaşamasını sağlamaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı perinatal dönemde aromaterapinin kullanımını literatür doğrultusunda inceleyerek sunmaktır.
