NCT05408650 | Unknown

Brief Summary

Poor sleep is common in the ICU, especially among post-operative CABG and more severely ill patients. Additionally, patients after surgery suffer from changes in physiological parameters related to ICU stressors. Pharmacological interventions for sleep improvement can both disrupt and induce sleep and have many negative side effects on intensive care patients. Therefore, this gives the green light for using complementary therapy.

Conditions

Aromatherapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Quality of sleep or Level of sleep as assessed by Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire

  Sleep quality will be assessed by Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire which covers five aspects of sleep: depth, latency, frequency of awakening, percentage of time awake, and sleep quality. A total score is obtained by summing each score out of 100, then dividing the total by five and ranking the total score into three categories as follows: * A score from 0 mm to 33 mm indicates poor sleep * A score of between 33 mm to 66 mm indicates normal sleep * A score of over 66 mm indicates very good sleep

  2 days

• Physiological parameters include heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, and percutaneous oxygen saturation, which will be assessed by a bedside electronic monitor.

Study Arms (2)

Aromatherapy massage group

EXPERIMENTAL

The massage will be applied to the patient's hands and feet while the patient in semi-fowler's position.

Other: Aromatherapy Massage

control group

NO INTERVENTION

The patients will receive the routine care of the ICU (such as decreased movements of the staff and soft light in the area at night).

Interventions

Aromatherapy Massage OTHER

The PI will dilute pure lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) with almond oil at a dilution rate of 2.5% and apply it to the hands and feet of the patient. * The massage technique including effleurage, petrissage, friction and lymphatic drainage on hands and feet will be adapted from Salvo, (2015) and Youssef and Hassan, (2017). * The massage will be applied to the patient's hands and feet while the patient in semi-fowler's position.
