Pada kelompok pertama, rata-rata stres pada subjek penelitian sebesar 23,5 sebelum pemberian aromaterapi lavender. Kemudian setelah intervensi, terjadi penurunan stres pada hari ketiga, kelima, dan ketujuh masing-masing sebesar 8,97%, 18,90%, dan 34,14%.

Uji Mann-Whitney U menunjukkan penurunan tingkat stres signifikan lebih tinggi (p=0,000) setelah penggunaan aromaterapi rosemary dibandingkan lavender. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa aromaterapi rosemary memiliki efektivitas signifikan lebih tinggi (p=0,000) dalam menurunkan stres pada dewasa dibandingkan aromaterapi lavender.

Meanwhile, in the second group, the average stress before the given intervention of rosemary aromatherapy was 22.14, which was observed to decrease by 12.91%, 25.36%, and 51.14% on the third, fifth, and seventh day, respectively. The Mann-Whitney U test showed a higher reduction in stress levels (p=0.000) after using rosemary aromatherapy.
