Özet
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using lavender wipes and pillows on sleep problems of women in menopause as a semi-experimental pre-test/posttest. This study was completed with 52 women out of 60 applied to a family health center in the eastern Black Sea region Turkey with sleep complaints in the November-December 2017. In this study Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index and Insomnia Severity Index and lavender oil were employed. The woman was asked to puff a lavender oil spray twice on their wipe and place it in the uppermost pocket of their clothes nearest to the nose, keep it there until bed time, and sleep with a lavender scented pillow for 15 days. Statistical significance was determined between pre-test and post-test in total PSQI and subgroups (p <0.05). The study shows that the use of lavender increases sleep quality.
