Abstract: Sleep disorders are common among pre-hospital emergency personnel due to their irregular working hours. Aromatherapy is a potential way to improve sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate the effect of lavender and jasmine scents on the sleep quality of pre-hospital emergency staff in Kermanshah City in 2021.
Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial that included all pre-hospital personnel in emergency staff in Kermanshah province. A total of 150 participants were randomly divided into three groups: 50 for lavender fragrance, 50 for Rosa fragrance, and 50 for the control group. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered before and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25.
Results: The average age and work experience of the participants were 30.3 ± 5.5 and 7.2 ± 5.3 years, respectively. The results showed that the average score of sleep quality before and after the aromatherapy intervention with lavender and marigold had a significant difference and was associated with improvement (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The use of aromatherapy with lavender and rose essential oils can have a positive effect on improving the sleep quality of pre-hospital emergency personnel. Therefore, it is recommended to use these scents to improve the sleep quality of these personnel.
