Data were collected using the \"Patient Information Form\", \"COPD Symptoms Form\", and \"Hemodynamic Parameters and Vital Signs Monitoring Form\" as well as a saturation device. Following the pre-test, patients in the intervention group inhaled thyme oil 3 times a day for 5 days but the control group did not receive anything. COPD symptoms and hemodynamic parameters were measured on the fifth day as the post-test. Vital signs were measured and recorded 3 times every day over 5 days. It was found that thyme oil application through inhalation significantly reduced all COPD symptoms (dyspnea, cough, secretion, etc.) in the intervention group compared to the control group. pH and O 2 levels were higher while CO 2 levels were lower in the intervention group, and as of the third day, saturation levels were higher whereas respiratory rates were lower. In this regard, thyme oil is recommended as a non-pharmacological treatment method for COPD patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":13081,"journal":{"name":"Holistic Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143995633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study delves into the sleep patterns of a general population and evaluates the impact of 3 distinct essential oils over a 4 to 6-week period. The study rigorously assesses changes in sleep quality and various cardiovascular parameters before and after the utilization of these essential oils. A total of 67 participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and expressed their willingness to partake in the experiment through an online platform. Subsequently, the participants underwent comprehensive measurements of cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system parameters. Following random assignment into 1 of 3 groups, the subjects diligently used the prescribed essential oils for the specified duration. A posttest was conducted to meticulously document the changes in cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system parameters, as well as the PSQI scale. The 3 essential oils employed were lavender, vetiver, and orange blossom, with 21, 18, and 17 participants, respectively. The experimental findings revealed a noteworthy reduction in PSQI scores after 4 to 6 weeks of using vetiver and orange blossom essential oils. The scores decreased from 7.92 (3.55) and 8.32 (3.71) to 6.08 (3.30, P = .007) and 6.47 (2.20, P = .042), respectively. This reduction was even more pronounced among subjects with initial PSQI scores of 5 or higher. Furthermore, the utilization of vetiver and orange blossom essential oils demonstrated a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SYS) over the 4 to 6-week period. Vetiver SYS levels decreased from 108.39 (5.67) to 105.33 (5.93) (P = .0016), and orange blossom SYS levels decreased from 110.53 (9.49) to 108.18 (9.49) (P = .0414). In addition, the heart rate of the vetiver group also exhibited a significant decrease from 78.33 (12.06) to 76.00 (12.06) (P = .0342). Thus, the results strongly suggest that vetiver and orange blossom essential oils contribute to the reduction of blood pressure, heart rate, and the enhancement of sleep quality, particularly in individuals experiencing sleep disturbances. These findings align with previous research on the soothing effects of essential oils and their potential in promoting both cardiovascular and sleep-related well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":13081,"journal":{"name":"Holistic Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143989873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Chinese Science Journals Database (VIP), and Wanfang Database through March 2024. Two reviewers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment. The meta-analysis incorporated 20 RCTs with a total of 1700 patients. The results demonstrated that CHM, both as monotherapy and in combination with Western medicine (WM), significantly improved sleep quality and clinical total effective rate in patients with perimenopausal insomnia. Specifically, outcomes such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, total effective rate, and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels favored CHM, either as monotherapy or combined with WM, over WM alone. However, CHM and WM showed no significant differences in PSQI sleep efficiency, PSQI sleep disorders, or serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. Moreover, CHM combined with WM did not demonstrate superiority over WM alone in PSQI overall score or serum estradiol (E2) levels. No severe CHM-related adverse events were reported. These findings suggest that CHM may serve as a safe and effective therapeutic option for managing perimenopausal insomnia. Nonetheless, these conclusions should be interpreted cautiously, and further research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate the efficacy and safety of CHM in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":13081,"journal":{"name":"Holistic Nursing Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
