Abstract

One of the most essential physical prerequisites for human survival is sleep. Patients undergoing hemodialysis often experience a lack of sleep, and it is one of the decisive variables in dialysis patients' quality of life. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of inhaling lavender essential oil on sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the before-and-after intervention trial, which took place in a tertiary care hospital's dialysis unit. The study participants were selected using the purposive sampling technique and they received lavender oil inhalation therapy. The sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The mean age of the participants was 55.11 (SD = 8.45) years. The mean posttherapy Pittsburgh Global Sleep Quality Index score was 8.8 ± 1.89 compared with the pretherapy score of 14.73 ± 1.53. Patients undergoing hemodialysis experienced a substantial improvement in sleep quality ( P < .05). Aromatherapy using lavender oil is effective in enhancing sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.

吸入薰衣草精油芳香疗法对血液透析患者睡眠质量的影响：干预前后试验。

人类生存最基本的生理先决条件之一是睡眠。接受血液透析的患者经常会经历睡眠不足，睡眠不足是透析患者生活质量的决定性变量之一。本研究的目的是评估吸入薰衣草精油对血液透析患者睡眠质量的影响。共有30名患者参加了干预前后的试验，该试验在一家三级护理医院的透析室进行。研究参与者采用有目的的采样技术进行选择，并接受薰衣草油吸入治疗。睡眠质量采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数进行测量。参与者的平均年龄为55.11岁（SD=8.45）。治疗后匹兹堡全球睡眠质量指数的平均得分为8.8±1.89，而治疗前的得分为14.73±1.53。接受血液透析的患者睡眠质量显著改善（P＜0.05）。使用薰衣草油进行芳香疗法可有效提高血液透析患者的睡眠质量。

期刊介绍： Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
