Bakgrund: Att få ett cancerbesked kan för vissa upplevas som att få en dödsdom. Det väcker inte allt för sällan starka känslor hos både den drabbade och dess anhöriga. Att leva med cancer upplevs för många påfrestande både fysiskt och psykiskt från symtom och biverkningar från olika behandlingar såsom cytostatika och strålning. Däremot kan hoppet ofta leva kvar men i olika grader innan det infinner sig på nytt. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteratöversikt var att beskriva massage och beröring som symptomlindring hos patienter som lever med cancer. Metod: Denna uppsats har utformats som en litteraturöversikt bestående av 13 artiklar med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. Datainsamling har gjorts i form av litteratursök i databaserna CINAHL, PubMed samt via manuella sökningar. Resultat: Resultatet presenterades under två huvudkategorier: symtomlindrande effekter med hjälp av massage och beröring och påverkan av livskvalitén med hjälp av massage och beröring. De underliggande kategorierna var: smärta och illamående, respektive ångest, sömn och relationer. Massage, beröring och aromaterapi kunde minska både smärta och illamående även om effekten avtog när behandlingen avslutades. Detsamma gällde ångest. Även sömnkvalitén förbättrades och beröring kunde i vissa fall medföra ett känslomässigt stöd och sågs att relationer kunde fördjupas. Slutsats: Olika typer av beröringsformer är bland de äldsta behandlingsmetoder som finns och har börjat användas allt mer inom hälso- och sjukvården. Massage, beröring och aromaterapi kan ge en god symtomlindrande effekt både fysiskt och psykiskt och öka livskvalitén vid kontinuerlig behandling. / Background: Receiving a cancer diagnosis can for some be seen as getting a death sentence. It often evokes strong feelings of both the patients and their relatives. Living with cancer is often experienced as stressful both physically and mentally from the symptoms and side effects from treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. However, hope often survive, only in different degrees before it find its way back. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe massage and touch as a method for symptom relief in cancer patients. Method: This study has been designed as a litterature review consisting of 13 qualitative and quantitative articles. Data was collected in the databases CINAHL, PubMed and by searching manually. Results: The results were presented in two main categories: symptomatic effect of massage and touch and impact of the quality of life by means of massage and touch. The underlying categories were: pain and nausea, and anxiety, sleep and relationships. Massage, touch and aromatherapy could help reduce pain, nausea and anxiety, although the effect waned when treatment ended. Sleep quality improved and touch could in some cases be seen as a way of deepen relationships. Conclusion: Different types of touchtherapy are some among the oldest methods in history and are being used more in health care. Massage, touch and aromatherapy can provide a good symptomatic effect both physically and mentally, and increase quality of life when receiving treatment continuously.

However, research regarding whether these issues have led to the use of essential oils and aromatherapy is scarce. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the factors associated with sleep quality, dysmenorrhea, and the utilization of essential oils and aromatherapy among female nurses in Taiwan. 　　Study design: A cross-sectional survey. 　　Materials and Methods: Female nurses were recruited from a regional teaching hospital in southern Taiwan during January and February, 2016. Information on demography, lifestyle, perceived general health status, sleep quality, menstruation, and the knowledge, attitude, and use of essential oils and aromatherapy were collected. Descriptive statistics, Fisher’s exact test, univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. 　　Results: A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed with a response rate of 92%. The mean age of the respondents was 31.2 years. The educational level of the respondents was mainly university level (66.8%), 68% of them were unmarried, and 73% had no children. Their work units were primarily the internal medicine ward. Over half of them (55.8%) were on shift work schedule and 60% indicated that their perceived health status was average. In addition, 43.9 % reported that they had been diagnosed or perceived to have at least one chronic disease. Of all the respondents, 70.8% indicated that they had poor sleep quality. Older age and the suffering from a chronic disease were associated with poor sleep quality. On the other hand, a good perceived health was associated with good sleep quality. Regarding the findings of dysmenorrhea, a higher educational level and those suffering from a chronic disease were more prone to dysmenorrhea. Those who with dysmenorrhea were significantly more likely to have poor sleep quality. In addition, respondents with a higher education level had a more positive attitude of essential oils and aromatherapy, whereas those with an underweight body mass index showed a more negative attitude toward essential oils and aromatherapy. It should also be noted that those who sought to understand essential oils and aromatherapy, their scores in knowledge and attitudes were higher.

When our perception and expectations do not match, or when we cannot control our feeling of disappointment, pressure appears. In this study, there are seven energy centers in the human body. We can activate our cells, enhance both immunity system and self-healing autologous ability by adapting plant essential oil and then, relieve pressure. The study analyzes the physiological effects of autonomic nervous system by applying seven-chakra essential oils. The pressure index (PSI) of 56 female volunteers is beyond 50. In the experimental group, each essential oil has quantified 0.1 ml, whereas the controlled group, water has quantified 0.1 ml. Through inhalation, the effect of reducing PSI is the most obvious by using the heart chakra essential oil – the mean heart rate (Mean HRT), pressure index (PSI) and low frequency (LF) are significantly reduced, but the high-frequency (HF), normal heartbeat interval standard deviation (SDNN) are significantly increased. Direct inhalation of chakra essential oils may activate the physiological activity of the heart rate variability. This analysis can be used as a reference in aromatherapy application
