Abstract:

Anxiety, sleep quality deterioration and depression are among the disorders that diabetic patients encounter. Today, non-drug methods have grown significantly in an effort to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. One of these methods is aromatherapy, which uses various plant essential oils. The present study was conducted to study the effect of inhalation aromatherapy with essential oils of various plants on the anxiety and sleep quality of diabetic patients. The results of this study indicate that aromatherapy with lavender, rosemary, bitter orange blossom, and orange essential oils can reduce anxiety levels. Additionally, using lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, and bitter orange blossom essential oils helps improve the sleep quality of diabetic patients. This study highlights the beneficial effects of aromatherapy using essential oils in reducing anxiety levels and improving sleep quality among diabetic patients. As the trend towards complementary medicine continues to grow, integrating aromatherapy into patient care represents an accessible and effective non-pharmacological approach to enhance mental well-being and sleep among this population. Implementing these findings in practice may lead to improved patient outcomes and a holistic approach to diabetes management.
