dc.description.abstractBackground: Sleep is important for health and quality of life in the elderly, and sleep disturbances are reported to be associated with many of the adverse medical conditions. Purpose: This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of inhalation of lavender oil on sleep quality of nursing home residents. Methods: A questionnaire was used to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics and sleeping properties of the 30 volunteers, enrolled. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was applied as a pre- and posttest to measure sleep quality of individuals who inhaled lavender oil drops on the pillows every evening for a week before sleeping. Results: Before and after aromatherapy, the mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score of the nursing home residents was (X) over bar = 6.0 +/- 5.1 and (X) over bar = 2.6 +/- 3.4, respectively, whereas statistically significant difference was not observed for independent variables. Cronbach reliability coefficient of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale was found to be 0.816. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The results indicated an improvement of sleep quality of nursing home residents after the application of aromatherapy with lavender oil.en_US
