Abstract
Patients beginning chemotherapy experience increased anxiety about the many side effects of treatment, especially nausea and vomiting. The purpose of this study to determine if using a commercially available essential oil via a roller ball while undergoing chemotherapy in adult cancer patients reduces nausea and vomiting. The intervention and control groups were similar. The intervention group had statistically significantly higher scores for improved quality of life after both roller ball rounds, less nausea and vomiting, and were more likely to continue using the roller ball after round 2.
