Objectives: The objective of this article is to integrate and explore the effects of aromatherapy on relieving job stress of nurses by systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Methods: The searched database included electronic databases published before May, 2023 in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Index to Taiwan Periodical Literature System, and Taiwan Journal Paper Index system. Meta-Analysis was used by RevMan 5.4 software to examine the effects of the exercise interventions on depression in the elderly. Results: There were 9 articles (9 samples) included in the analysis. 523 subjects (exercise: 262; control: 261) with 95% CI [-0.75, -0.40], Z = 6.38, p < 0.00001, showed a combined effects of -0.57 (95% CI: -0.75, -0.40), indicating that aromatherapy intervention could moderately improve the work stress degree among nurses. According to the subgroup analysis, the use of aromatherapy is to “inhale” the “rose” or “lavender” essential oil, and the essential oil concentration should be “greater than or equal to 40%”, which can effectively relieve the work pressure of nurses. Conclusions: It is recommended that hospital managers provide nurses with “rose” or “lavender” essential oil to be placed in the lounge, the concentration of which should be “greater than or at least equal to 40% and the nursing staff should bring their own essential oil bottles and add 0.5 c.c. essential oil to the bottle twice a day during the rest time to “inhale” to relieve work stress. In the future, it is hoped that more empirical studies will be included to analyze the type, concentration, single use time, frequency and duration of aromatherapy interventions, so as to propose more complete solutions for aromatherapy interventions to improve the work stress of nurses.

Ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy（ALC） is one of the most important day surgery at home and abroad.Compared with traditional inpatient surgery, ALC has higher requirements for medical safety, postoperative rehabilitation speed and postoperative rehabilitation quality.Medical safety is an important indicator to evaluate the quality of day surgery, and it is necessary for nurses in charge of the day surgery ward to change traditional concepts, reserve professional knowledge and improve nursing strategies.This paper reviewed the development status and nursing strategies of ALC in order to provide reference for nurses in charge of the day surgery ward.

Taking 592 nurses from the tertiary hospitals in the Anhui Province as the survey objects, this paper explored the effect of organizational climate perception on nurses’job satisfaction and the mediating effect of job burnout through a questionnaire survey. The results showed that the job burnout of nurses in the tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province was more prominent among young and unmarried nurses, with relatively low job satisfaction. Nurses with longer working life, high professional titles, and formal establishment have higher job satisfaction. The better the perceived organizational climate leads to lower incidence of job burnout and higher the job satisfaction. Job burnout partially mediates organizational climate perception and job satisfaction, accounting for 46.13%. The results of this study suggest that we should pay attention to the physical and mental health as well as job satisfaction of nurses；creating a good workplace climate of trust, communication, emotion and fairness, while offering nurses a positive working environment with organizational support to alleviate their job burnout, improve their job satisfaction, and stabilize and develop the nursing team.
