Purpose: The study aimed to examine the effects of aroma hand massage on state sanxiety, depression, quality of sleep, and blood pressure levels of palliative patients in hospice.
Methods: This study was conducted using a nonequivalent control group with a pretest-posttest design. The participants were 48 palliative patients in hospice (experimental group: 24, control group: 24). The aroma hand massage was given to the experimental group once a day for 5 days. Data were collected between December 2017 to February 2018. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program with the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and repeated measurement analysis of variance(ANOVA).
Results: There were significant differences in state anxiety levels (t=2.41, p=.020) and quality of sleep (F=14.29, p<.001). However, significant differences in the levels of depression (t=1.59, p=.119), systolic blood pressure (F=0.37, p=.695), and diastolic blood pressure (F=0.37, p=.695) were observed. The aroma hand massage was effective in improving the quality of sleep and state anxiety levels of palliative patients in a hospice.
Conclusion: The aroma hand massage was effective in improving the quality of sleep and state anxiety in a hospice.
