چکیده

مقدمه: یکی از بحرانی‌ترین مراحل زندگی زنان، یائسگی می‌باشد. برخی زنان به‌علت کمبود استروژن در این دوره دچار مشکلات روانی نظیر اضطراب و افسردگی می‌شوند، مطالعه حاضر با هدف تعیین تأثیر دمنوش بابونه بر اضطراب و افسردگی زنان یائسه انجام شد.
روشکار: این مطالعه کارآزمایی بالینی تصادفی شده در سال 1399 بر روی 68 زن یائسه در قالب دو گروه مصرف دمنوش بابونه (گروه مداخله) و گروه کنترل در شهرستان اهواز انجام شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها شامل پرسشنامه اطلاعات دموگرافیک و مقیاس افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس DASS فرم 21 سؤالی بود. در گروه مداخله از دمنوش بابونه و در گروه کنترل پلاسبو روزی 3 بار به‌مدت 8 هفته مصرف گردید. قبل از مداخله، 4 و 8 هفته پس از شروع مداخله میزان اضطراب و افسردگی در دو گروه سنجیده شد. تجریه و تحلیل داده­ ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 24) و آزمون‌های تی مستقل، اندازه­ های تکراری و کای اسکوئر انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنادار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته­ ها: بر اساس نتایج آزمون تی مستقل، قبل از مداخله میانگین نمره اضطراب در گروه آزمایش 92/1±47/24 و در گروه کنترل 46/1±70/20 و میانگین نمره افسردگی در گروه آزمایش 69/1±29/24 و در گروه کنترل 28/1±23/19 بود که تفاوت آماری معناداری نداشت (05/0<p). بر اساس نتایج آزمون تی زوجی، میانگین نمره اضطراب در گروه آزمایش 4 و 8 هفته پس از مداخله به‌ترتیب 36/2±50/10 و 69/1±82/10 و افسردگی 27/2±82/10 و 34/1±76/10 بود که در مقایسه با گروه کنترل که میانگین نمره اضطراب 37/1±85/21 و 52/1±73/21 و نمره افسردگی 98/0±94/21 و 09/1±67/20 بود، کاهش معناداری را نشان داد (001/0>p).
نتیجه ­گیری: دمنوش بابونه در زنان یائسه منجر به بهبود علائم افسردگی و اضطراب می­گردد. استفاده از دمنوش بابونه علاوه بر مقرون به‌صرفه بودن از نظر اقتصادی، عوارض جانبی کمتری در مقایسه با درمان­ های شیمیایی دارد.
