Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of aromatherapy with Lavender essential oil on improving sleep quality of patients with myocardial infarction in ICU. Methods Thirty patients with myocardial infarction admitted to ICU from June 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the control group, and 31 patients with myocardial infarction admitted to ICU from April 2020 to January 2021 were selected as the intervention group. After admission, patients in both groups were surveyed by Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). The control group received routine nursing measures, and smart bracelet was used to monitor the patient sleep quality. The intervention group was given extra aromatherapy by using Lavender essential oil. Monitoring data was collected daily, and a survey with RCSQ was conducted 5 days after intervention. Results The total RCSQ score of the intervention group was (64. 13±4. 92) points, which was higher than that of the control group (49. 40±4. 32) points, with a significant difference (P<0. 05). The total sleep time of the intervention group was (6. 93±0. 37) h, which was higher than that of the control group (4. 81±0. 32) h, with a significant difference (P<0. 05). Conclusion Aromatherapy with lavender essential oil can effectively improve the sleep quality of ICU patients with myocardial infarction.
