This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.
