The universe of the research; Patients who were hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital in Istanbul between May 2021 and October 2021, and the sample consisted of patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study. Data collection started after obtaining the ethics committee permission, institutional permission, and research permission from the Ministry of Health GETAT Clinical Research Department. A simple computer-assisted randomization method was used to distribute the groups homogeneously. Fifty-four patients who were hospitalized in the reanimation intensive care unit and accepted to participate in the study and met the inclusion criteria were included. The patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 18 people, each with distilled water, lavender oil, and bergamot oil. "Patient Information Form", "Patient Follow-up Form", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory" and "Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCUS)" were used to collect data.
