Brief Summary

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy are invasive procedures that enable the diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, biopsy, photo and video recording of the gastrointestinal tract. It has an important place in clinical use for diagnosis and treatment and these procedures are common. When the studies are examined; while the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease was 8.8% -25.9% in Europe, approximately 20% of the population in the world were found to have dyspeptic complaints. In the UK, 41,000 new colorectal cancers were diagnosed in 2014 and 132700 new cases were detected in the United States in 2015. In the European Union countries, the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer reported in 2012 is 684,000 cases. During endoscopic interventions in our country; in Turkey; people may experience high levels of anxiety considering the negative consequences of discomfort and pain.In such cases, nurses should make attempts to reduce the anxiety of the person by predicting that people may have anxiety. Non-pharmacological methods that may reduce anxiety include; pre-treatment training, aromatherapy, acupuncture, hypnosis. Eliminating or reducing anxiety as much as possible will help increase the comfort of both the patient and the endoscopist in these invasive procedures. In our study, our aim was to evaluate the effect of non-pharmacological methods on the preoperative lavender smell.
