Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Self-care non-pharmacological methods can help reduce the negative health effects of sleep problems or insomnia. This trial aims to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation alone and in combination on sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in adults with a stoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study has been planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial and will use a 2x2 factor design in which an equal number of participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to one of four groups. The study population will comprise 120 adult patients who have undergone ostomy surgery in a city hospital in Turkey. Lavender oil inhalation together with sleep hygiene education will be applied in the first group (n=30), only sleep hygiene education in the second group (n=30), only lavender oil inhalation in the third group (n=30), and no intervention in the fourth group (n=30). The sleep quality of the groups will be evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, their fatigue levels with the Chalder Fatigue Scale, and their quality of life with the Stoma Quality of Life Scale.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Every night before going to bed (21:00-24:00), the participants will drop two drops of 2% lavender essential oil on a 2x2 cm cotton gauze pad in a bowl, place it at a distance of 15-20 cm from their pillows, and breath normally for 20 minutes. The participants will be instructed to repeat this process by dripping lavender oil onto a new gauze pad every night for four weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1 (Sleep hygiene education together with lavender oil inhalation)

the participants assigned to Group 1 will be given sleep hygiene education and instructed how to apply lavender oil inhalation. The participants will be provided with charts on sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation and shown how to regularly keep daily records using their charts. The participants in this group will be given a copy of the sleep hygiene education brochure and lavender oil in a 10 ml bottle.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lavender oil inhalation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Lavender oil inhalation;During the trial, the participants will be asked to practice lavender oil inhalation as follows: Every night before going to bed (21:00-24:00), the participants will drop two drops of 2% lavender essential oil on a 2x2 cm cotton gauze pad in a bowl, place it at a distance of 15-20 cm from their pillows, and breath normally for 20 minutes. The participants will be instructed to repeat this process by dripping lavender oil onto a new gauze pad every night for four weeks.

Sleep hygiene education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sleep hygiene education;The participants assigned to Groups 1 and 2 will receive sleep hygiene education using the sleep hygiene education brochure, which has been prepared by the researchers based on the literature concerning the improvement of general sleep quality in individuals with a stoma.

Group 2 (Sleep hygiene education)

The participants assigned to Group 2 will only be given sleep hygiene education. They will be provided with a copy of the sleep hygiene education brochure and a chart on which to record their sleep hygiene practices.

The participants will be instructed to repeat this process by dripping lavender oil onto a new gauze pad every night for four weeks.

Group 4 (Routine care)

Participants assigned to Group 4 will be given routine care and no application will be made.

Patient care and follow-up are routinely performed as follows: Following the patient's admission to the clinic, the first evaluation of the patient is made by the ostomy and wound care nurses within 24 hours, and patient education is initiated accompanied by the primary caregiver from the family. Throughout the period from admission to clinic to discharge, the ostomy care and education of the patient is repeated by the ostomy and wound care nurses every 72 hours. In addition, the patient and caregiver are given the contact information of the ostomy and wound care nurses and informed that they can call them at any time when they need it after discharge from the hospital.
