Effect Of Rose (Rosa Damascene) Essential Oil Difusion Towards Amounts Of Air Bacterial Colony In Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Background: Based on WHO 2016, incident of NosocomialaInfection (NI) in low and middle incomeacountry ranged 5,7-19,1%. Patientsawho treated in Intensive CareaUnit (ICU) have higher risk to Nosocomial Infection (NI), its 90% derived fromabacteria and 10-20% from airborneatransmitted. Rose essential oil (Rosa damascena) contains β-citronellol (48,2%) and geraniol (17%) which has potential as antibacterial, so could be appliedaby air transmitted to reduce amountsaof air bacteria colony in ICU. Purpose: To determine the effectaof rose essential oil towards amounts of air bacteria in ICU Methods: Used true experimental with pre - post test onlyacontrol group design. The sample were divided into 10agroups. 1 groups was treated before essential oilagiven (K+), groups concentration 1%, 2%, 3% and time given 55 minute (K55), 110 minute (K110), 165 minute (K165). The data analyzed by using repeatedaanova test and postahoc bonferoni.. Results: Repeated Anova testashowed difference (p = 0,000), post hoc bonferoni test basedaon the time variable showed K55 (p >0,05), K110 and K165 (p<0,05), is approved that K55 and K165 are effectiveareduce amounts of air bacteria. Conclusion: There's an effect of roseaessential oil (Rosa damascena) towards amounts of air bacteria in ICU
