This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted prospectively with 80 patients with hematological malignancies were treated in the adult bone marrow transplant unit and adult hematology service of a private hospital between May 2021 and January 2022. Orange oil inhalation used in aromatherapy was applied to patients in the intervention group. Visual Analogue Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory used for data collection.
Introduction: Invasive interventions such as peripheral intravenous cannula and port needle placement, and blood collection are often required for both inpatient and outpatient follow-up patients with hematological malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients. This long and difficult treatment process causes anxiety and emotional disorders in most patients. Although invasive initiatives in the treatment and monitoring process are widely implemented, they lead to pain, anxiety and discomfort, which is often ignored. This study conducted to assess the effect of orange oil inhalation used in aromatherapy on pain and anxiety levels in invasive interventions to treat patients with hematological malignancies and hematopoietic stem cells transplantation.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Visual Analog Scale; A scale applied on a straight line by marking a millimeter horizontal or vertical line. In this line, the 0 cm dot means "No Pain", while the 10 cm dot means "very bad pain". The patient marks the pain level on the scale. The marked point is measured using a tape measure and scored. Most studies so far show that visual analogue scale (VAS) is a reliable tool to use to assess the pain level | 5 minutes before the aromatherapy |
| The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | In scale; there are 20 questions in the state area. It provides a four-point Likert type measurement. Scoring varies between 20-80. Although there is not a clear cut-off point, 39-40 points are often considered as the cut-off point of inventory. High score indicates high level of anxiety | 5 minutes before the aromatherapy |
