The use of aromatherapy in pregnancy, during childbirth and puerperium
KOUBKOVÁ, Markéta
For every woman, the period of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium is a very exceptional and crucial period of life. A woman undergoes physical, mental and social changes. Nowadays, there is a great variety of possibilities how to maintain particular information and many women are interested in the fact how to make this period pleasant and easy. Currently, many a woman has the opportunity to apply alternative methods to mitigate some difficulties connected with pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. These methods also help to make this exceptional period more pleasant. It is aromatherapy which is popular among these methods. The theoretical part of the thesis concludes the findings of current reference books dealing with aromatherapy during the period of pregnancy, during the childbirth and the period of puerperium. It also includes the description of these phases. At the beginning of this part a reader can find a couple of words about aromatherapy and its influence on an organism, about the use of volatile oil. The following chapter is on pregnancy, and the description about the use of volatile oil during this period follows. Moreover, next part is dedicated to the work during childbirth and the aromatherapy during it, and also the description of the period of puerperium and the aromatherapy applied. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out how the midwives and pregnant women are informed about the possible use of aromatherapy during the periods mentioned and if they are interested in the usage of aromatherapy during these periods. Another aim of the thesis was to create a brief manual for midwives about a convenient use of aromatherapy during the periods mentioned which was based on an in-depth study of reference books and also on carrying out a research described in the practical part of the thesis. To meet the tasks of the thesis, a survey was carried out which could be divided into two parts. The first collection of data was carried out via the method of dialogues which had been designed in the way to get the opinion of midwives about using aromatherapy in the periods mentioned. The other part included distributing the questionnaires to pregnant women and women in the puerperium period. The topic in question was, due to the survey carried out, assessed positively. The midwives expressed their positive attitude towards the usage of aromatherapy during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and also during puerperium. These midwives use aromatherapy themselves which gives them the basic view. If they are interested, they can attend some lectures about this topic which were realised at their working place. The basic assumption was confirmed. As the graphs show, approximately one half of the female-respondents used aromatherapy, and nearly one half of these used the aromatherapy also during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. Further result of the survey was that most women used this method according to some previous experience and also due to their own initiative. This confirmed the hypothesis that women who have some information about aromatherapy are interested in using it. They usually have also enough experience and also their proved cosmetic brand. It was proved that midwives offer the possibility to use volatile oil primarily at delivery rooms. What arises from the interviews is that if midwives have the possibility to offer aromatherapy actively at their working places, they use it at convenient occasions. According to the survey, aromatherapy is an appropriate, successful and also quite popular supportive method in midwifery. This bachelor thesis serves as an inspiration for midwives to get a wider perspective in some basic data about indication and contraindication to the use of volatile oil during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and also during the period of puerperium.
