has been applied.The diffuser was placed 30 cm from the participants and five (5) drops of essential lavender oil were placed on the filter paper.

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: three consecutive days after the start of application

    The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) used for the assessment of pain is used to digitize some values that cannot be measured numerically. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written at both ends of a 10 cm or 100 mm line, and the patient is asked to indicate where on this line their situation is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a dot or pointing.

  2. Facial Anxiety Scale (FAS)

    Time frame: three consecutive days after the start of application

    The Facial Anxiety Scale is a measurement tool in which patients report their anxiety levels. The scale consists of five face shapes with the size of 11 × 42 cm. While the facial expression on the far left indicates the absence of anxiety, the level of anxiety increases towards the right (scored between 0-5). A score of three or more on the Facial Anxiety Scale indicates that the anxiety level is moderate or high.

  3. Distress Thermometer

    Time frame: three consecutive days after the start of application

    Distress Thermometer The Thermometer with Distress Thermometer is a likert-type scale with scores from 0 (no stress) to 10 (extreme stress).the class of the values in the degree is indicated as points

  4. Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale((ESAS)

    Time frame: three consecutive days after the start of application

    The patient is asked to match his symptoms with a number that he thinks is most suitable for him from the numbers from 0 to 10. The number 0 indicates no symptoms, the number 10 indicates that the symptom is very severe.All of the items on the ESAS have a value of 0-10 points

  5. vital parameters

    Time frame: three consecutive days after the start of application

    blood pressure measurement, pulse, respiratory rate will be measured.120-129/80-84 mmHg is normal, 130-139/85-89 mmHg( millimeters of mercury (mmHg) ) is called high normal blood pressure.Respirations per minute in a healthy adult person 12-20.(12-20 breaths per minute)It is normal for adults and healthy people to have a heart rate in the range of 60-100 beats per minute.Heart rate (or pulse rate)(heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm)(60 to 100 bpm);
