The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and explore the potential effects of using aromatherapy and visual mindfulness as complementary therapies to address pain and nausea in hospitalized cancer patients. Aromatherapy involves olfactory stimulation of selected scents via a patch, and visual mindfulness involves watching curated videos by cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg.
