ABSTRACT |
The purpose of this study is to use as a way of smoking cessation by figuring out how the aromatic inhalation
therapy using lavender essential oil has an effect on the smoking cessation among high school girls. This study
was carried on 30 girl students. The test subjects, 30 girl students were divided into control group (n=15) and
experimental group (n=15). An experiment was conducted on control group living without the use of lavender
essential oil and experimental group living with inhaling lavender essential oil 3 times a day and wearing
necklace for 4 weeks. The change of nicotine dependence in experimental group before-after experiment
showed that the nicotine dependence score significantly decreases at time goes on from 10.33±0.62 before
experiment to the first 8.73±0.46, the second 7.27±0.59 and the third 6.07±1.34 after experiment (p<.01).
While the change of nicotine dependence in control group showed that the nicotine dependence slightly
decreases at time goes on, there was no significant difference. In experimental group the change of carbon
monoxide significantly decreased at time goes on from 6.27±2.89 before experiment to the first 5.67±2.44, the
second 3.80±2.08, the third 2.07±1.62 and the fourth 1.20±1.08 after experiment (p<.01). While the change
of carbon monoxide in control group showed that carbon monoxide slightly decreases from 6.13±3.36 before
experiment to the first 5.40±4.55 after experiment, but significantly increases at time goes on since the first
to the second 5.80±4.49, the third 6.73±4.03 and the fourth 8.33±3.54 after experiment (p<.05). This study
intends to be used as basic data that prepare an alternative to smoking cessation for high-school girls’ health
by determining the status of their smoking. Diverse researches on their smoking will have to be carried out to
put forward ways that can fundamentally solve their smoking problems. |
