Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of aromatherapy application on cognitive functions, anxiety and sleep quality in elderly people with diabetes.
Detailed description
In addition to its physiological complications, diabetes is a disease that has negative effects on cognitive functions and is accompanied by anxiety and sleep problems. These problems negatively affect diabetes management and glycemic control. Ensuring glycemic control is the most important goal of diabetes treatment. The chronic and progressive nature of diabetes, the continuous increase in the number of individuals with diabetes and the accompanying problems lead the individual to seek alternative treatment methods in addition to clinical medical treatment. When the literature is examined, it is seen that aromatherapy is used in many clinical applications. Studies have shown the positive effects of lavender and rosemary and aromatherapy on cognitive functions, anxiety and sleep problems. However, no comprehensive studies on its effects in the elderly with diabetes were found. This study was planned to determine the effect of aromatherapy application on cognitive functions, anxiety and sleep quality in elderly people with diabetes.
