摘要: 目的 睡眠对保持人的生理和心理健康至关重要,在ICU住院的患者经常存在睡眠障碍,芳香疗法是改善睡眠障碍的非药物治疗方法之一,本研究的目的是评价芳香疗法改善肝胆外科ICU病房患者的睡眠质量以及焦虑水平的效果。 方法 选取60例腹部手术后进入肝胆外科ICU的患者,随机分为干预组30例,对照组30例,每一例患者都进行一般情况调查、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数问卷(PSQI)和焦虑自评量表(SAS)调查,干预组的患者晚间睡前给予2%薰衣草精油芳香吸入治疗15 d,然后再次进行睡眠质量和焦虑问卷调查评估。对照组睡前予以不含薰衣草的植物基础油吸入治疗,15 d后同样进行问卷调查评估睡眠质量和焦虑水平。 结果 干预组和对照组的一般情况比较差异无统计学意义,具有可比性。对治疗前后干预组和对照组的睡眠质量评分和焦虑评分的比较显示,干预组患者治疗后的睡眠质量评分(8.68±2.96 vs.6.80±2.83,t=2.514,P=0.015)与焦虑评分(56.43±9.48 vs.47.93±7.70,t=3.812,P<0.001)较前明显改善,而对照组睡眠质量评分和焦虑评分无明显改善。干预组和对照组治疗后组间比较显示,干预组的睡眠质量评分(6.80±2.83 vs.8.48±2.60,t=2.394,P=0.020)和焦虑评分(47.93±7.70 vs.54.65±6.54,t=3.643,P<0.001)较对照组有明显改善。 结论 薰衣草精油芳香疗法能显著改善肝胆外科ICU患者的睡眠质量,并降低焦虑水平,是一种无创、价廉、易行的护理干预措施,适合在临床中推广使用。Abstract: Objective Sleep is essential for maintaining physical and mental health,and sleep disorders are often present in hospitalized patients in the ICU,and aromatherapy is one of the non-pharmacological treatments for sleep disorders.This study aimed to investigate the effect of lavender essential oil on the sleep quality and anxiety level of patients in Hepatobiliary Surgery ICU. Methods A randomized controlled study was conducted with 60 patients in Hepatobiliary Surgery ICU.After informing the patients in both groups about the study,they were administered with two questionnaires,Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS).The patients in the intervention group were given 2% lavender essential oil via inhalation for 15 days after which they were administered the same scales again to evaluate the sleep quality and anxiety.As for the control group,they were administered the same scales again after 15 days without the inhalation of lavender essential oil. Results The general situation of the intervention group and control group were compared and no statistical differences were found between the two groups;By comparison of sleep quality scores and anxiety scores before and after the treatment in the intervention group and the control group,the sleep quality value(8.68±2.96 vs. 6.80±2.83,t=2.514,P=0.015) and the anxiety score(56.43±9.48 vs. 47.93±7.70,t=3.812,P<0.001) of intervention group of patients were improved significantly after the treatment,while in the control group,the sleep quality scores and anxiety scores had no obvious improvement;furthermore,by comparison of the intervention group and the control group after the treatment,the intervention group's sleep quality score(6.80±2.83 vs. 8.48±2.60,t=2.394,P=0.020) and anxiety score(47.93±7.70 vs. 54.65±6.54,t=3.643,P<0.001) were improved significantly. Conclusion Lavender essential oil can improve quality of sleep and reduce the level of anxiety in patients in Hepatobiliary Surgery ICU.As a non-invasive,cheap,easily applicable,cost-effective,independent nursing intervention and appropriate for patients in Hepatobiliary Surgery,lavender essential oil could be applied in ICUs.
