About this study

Official title: Effects of Sleep Hygiene Education and Lavender Oil Inhalation on Sleep Quality, Fatigue, and Health-related Quality of Life in Adults With a Stoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

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.

Read the detailed description

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lavender oil inhalationBehavioural

    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 educationBehavioural

    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.

Study groups in NCT05573256
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1 (Sleep hygiene education together with lavender oil inhalation)Experimentalthe 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.
Receives: Behavioral: Lavender oil inhalation; Behavioral: Sleep hygiene education
Group 2 (Sleep hygiene education)ExperimentalThe 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.
Receives: Behavioral: Sleep hygiene education
Group 3 (Lavender oil inhalation)ExperimentalThe participants assigned to Group 3 will only be instructed on how to apply lavender oil inhalation and keep regular daily records on the chart given. The participants in this group will be given lavender oil in a 10 ml bottle.
Receives: Behavioral: Lavender oil inhalation
Group 4 (Routine care)No interventionParticipants 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    . It consists of seven subscales with a total of 19 items, of which 18 are included in scoring. Each item is evaluated over 0-3 points, and the sum of the seven subscale scores constitutes the total PSQI score. The total score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 21, and a high total score indicates poor sleep quality. A total PSQI score of ≤5 indicates 'good sleep', and a score of >5 indicates 'poor sleep'.

    Measured: a month

  2. Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS)

    The scale consists of 11 items, seven evaluating physical fatigue and four evaluating mental fatigue. There are four options for response to the items in the scale (less than usual, no more than usual, more than usual, and much more than usual). The overall fatigue score is obtained by summing the scores in the physical and mental fatigue subscales. The physical fatigue subscale score ranges from 0 to 21, the mental fatigue subscale score ranges from 0 to 12, and the total fatigue score ranges from 0 to 33. An increase in the scale score indicates an increase in the severity of fatigue.

    Measured: a month

  3. Stoma Quality of Life Scale (SQLS)

    The remaining items are grouped into three subscales: work/social life (six items), sexuality/body image (five items), and stoma function (six items). In addition, there is one item related to the economic situation and one item related to skin irritation, which do not fall into any of the previously mentioned subscales. Minimum and maximum scores for each subscale are 0 and 100, respectively, with high scores indicating an increase in quality of life. If two items in any subscale are left unanswered in the scale, the relevant subscale is not taken into consideration during scoring, but if one item is left unanswered, it can be included in evaluation.

    Measured: a month
