The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many aspects of Indonesian people’s lives. Almost all sectors, not only health, have been affected, including the economic sector. COVID-19 requires a long treatment time to restore the patient’s health. The average length of treatment for COVID-19 patients at the Koja Jakarta Hospital is 14 days. This study aimed to determine the effect of essential oil therapy and lemon on the length of stay of COVID-19 patients at Koja Hospital in Jakarta in 2021. The research was a quasi-experimental case-control study. The 40 participants were COVID-19 patients treated in the isolation room of the Koja Jakarta Hospital in February 2021. Participants were divided into two groups: 20 for the control group and 20 for the treatment group. Univariate results showed that the majority of COVID-19 patients had a length of stay &gt; 10 days. Essential oil therapy and lemon had no effect on the length of stay (p &gt; 0.05). It is hoped that nurses can find other alternatives to speed up the length of treatment for COVID-19 patients.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> essential oils therapy and lemon, long treatment for COVID-19 patients</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={KnE Life Sciences}, author={Rahayu, Rahayu and Fauzi, Achmad and Juniati, Linda}, year={2022}, month={Feb.}, pages={805–812} }
