This study compares nurse and non-nurse aromatherapists, questioning the inclusion of complementary therapies in nursing. Evidence suggests focusing on patient outcomes, not nurse convenience, for curriculum integration.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Complementary Therapies
  • Integrative Health

Background:

  • The integration of complementary therapies into mainstream healthcare, particularly nursing, is a growing area of interest.
  • A gap exists in understanding the motivations and beliefs of practitioners, especially comparing nurses and non-nurses in complementary therapy practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and compare the beliefs and practice motivations of nurse and non-nurse aromatherapists.
  • To critically examine the rationale for incorporating complementary therapies into nursing practice and education.
  • To stimulate discussion on evidence-based justification for complementary therapies in nursing, focusing on patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review conducted as part of a Master of Science (MSc) in Nursing research dissertation.

  • Comparative analysis of nurse and non-nurse aromatherapists' perspectives.
  • Exploration of beliefs and reasons for practice in aromatherapy.

    • Main Results:

    • The study highlights differing perspectives between nurse and non-nurse aromatherapists regarding their practice.
    • Identifies a need to justify the inclusion of complementary therapies based on patient outcomes rather than practitioner needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research and critical reflection are needed to establish a robust evidence base for complementary therapies in nursing.
    • The nursing curriculum should prioritize the integration of therapies that demonstrably improve patient outcomes.
    • The justification for complementary therapy practice within nursing requires a shift towards patient-centered evidence.
