Abstract

Background Aromatherapy with a blend of essential oils is an alternative treatment for stress and sleep disturbances, providing stress relief and sleep enhancement, while increasing the efficacy and scent appeal. This study aimed to formulate an essential oil blend with the potential to reduce stress and enhance sleep quality, and to identify the most preferred blend based on participant satisfaction. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 63 female volunteers aged 25 - 50 years. Three formulations (A, B, and C) of essential oil blends were developed, each with a distinct scent profile—floral, unisex, and aromatic. A preference test was conducted using a sensory evaluation method, assessing participants’ satisfaction of the blends through inhalation. Preferences were quantified using a structured scoring system. Formula B was the most popular and was further refined into two recipes, B1 and B2. B2 emerged as the preferred option, and its primary component was identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Results Formulation B, rich in bergamot oil, received significantly higher hedonic ratings than Formulation A (p<0.05) and was the most preferred in interviews. Participants recommended a milder, more balanced scent for relaxation and sleep. While B1 and B2 showed no significant differences, B2 was chosen for its higher bergamot content, fresher unisex profile, and reduced floral notes. GC–MS analysis identified limonene, menthol, and linalool as its main components. Conclusion This study demonstrated that an essential oil blend predominantly composed of bergamot oil was most favored by the volunteers, indicating its potential benefits for promoting relaxation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tempo elements through the creation of new music played to patients preoperatively to reduce anxiety levels. Anxiety in preoperative patients can be a risk factor for increased postoperative anxiety if not previously given appropriate intervention. Anxiety can cause aggressive reactions and increase the patient's experience of distress and difficulty with pain management. Music creation with tempo manipulation and sedative concepts is used to reduce the anxiety level of preoperative patients because it has a character that can provide a relaxing sensation, especially slow tempo and simple melody (William, 2018). One-shot case study pre-experimental research method was used to determine the therapeutic effect of weightless music. Five participants consisted of randomly selected preoperative patients aged 18-40 years. Each participant listened to slow tempo music for 15 minutes as a form of non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety and there was no placebo. The results show that there is a decrease in anxiety levels in preoperative patients and 80% of participants thought that tempo is the most influential musical element. Tempo with a speed between 50-60 bpm can cause a pleasant sensation for subjects who are treated to listening to music. Based on the experimental results, the effect of music on reducing the level of preoperative anxiety then created new musical works.Efek Terapeutik Musik Weightless dalam Menurunkan Kecemasan Pasien Praoperasi AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh unsur tempo melalui penciptaan musik baru yang diperdengarkan kepada pasien praoperasi dalam menurunkan tingkat kecemasan. Kecemasan pada pasien praoperasi dapat menjadi faktor risiko meningkatnya kecemasan pascaoperasi apabila tidak diberikan intervensi yang tepat sejak awal. Kecemasan dapat memicu reaksi agresif serta meningkatkan pengalaman distres pasien dan kesulitan dalam pengelolaan nyeri. Penciptaan musik dengan manipulasi tempo dan konsep sedatif digunakan untuk menurunkan tingkat kecemasan pasien praoperasi karena memiliki karakter yang mampu memberikan sensasi relaksasi, terutama musik dengan tempo lambat dan melodi sederhana (William, 2018). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode praeksperimen dengan desain one-shot case study untuk mengetahui efek terapeutik musik weightless. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah lima orang pasien praoperasi berusia 18–40 tahun yang dipilih secara acak. Setiap partisipan mendengarkan musik bertempo lambat selama 15 menit sebagai bentuk intervensi nonfarmakologis untuk menurunkan kecemasan, tanpa pemberian plasebo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan tingkat kecemasan pada pasien praoperasi, dan sebanyak 80% partisipan menyatakan bahwa tempo merupakan unsur musik yang paling berpengaruh. Tempo dengan kecepatan antara 50–60 bpm mampu menimbulkan sensasi menyenangkan bagi subjek yang menerima perlakuan mendengarkan musik. Berdasarkan hasil eksperimen tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa musik berpengaruh dalam menurunkan tingkat kecemasan praoperasi, yang selanjutnya menjadi dasar penciptaan karya musik baru.
