Dialysis procedures are having the risk and side effects that accompany the treatment influence sleep quality and fatigue. Hemodialysis patients are facing many challenges and the problem due to sleep quality and fatigue. Aromatherapy via Inhalation is an important role in relaxing treatment, inhalation has been proved to be effectives in mental exhaustion and burnout and the prevention of fatigue and improved sleep quality.“A study to assess the effectiveness of Aromatherapy via inhalation on the Sleep Quality and Fatigue level among patients undergoing Hemodialysis in Sri Krishna Sevashrama Hospital, Bengaluru.” OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. Assess the sleep quality and fatigue level among patients undergoing Hemodialysis before aromatherapy. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy by comparing pre-test and post-test level of sleep quality and fatigue level among patients undergoing Hemodialysis. 3. Associate the pre-test level of sleep quality and fatigue level with selected demographic variables. METHODS: A quantitative research approach with quasi experimentalpre-test and post-test design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis Sri Krishna Sevashrama hospitals, Bangalore. The participants were selected by nonprobability purposive sampling technique. The data were collected from hemodialysis patients by usingModified Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Visual Analogue Scale. RESULT: The mean pre-test scores of sleep quality among experimental group was revealed as 50 percent for average and 92 percent for poor. In control group 33percent for good,52.4percent for average and 86.4for poor.The mean pre-test scores of fatigue level in both experimental group and control group were revealed as, 20 percent for mild,50 percent for moderate and 90 percent for severe. The mean post –test scores of sleep quality in experimental group was revealed as 26.8 for good and 44.4 percent for average. In control group 31.7 percent for good, 53.8 percent for average and 88.1 percent for poor. The mean post –test scores of the fatigue level in experimental group was revealed as 26.3 percent for mild, 47.9 percent for moderate. In control group 20 percent for mild, 50 percent for moderate and 90 percent for severe. The overall mean of post-test scores of sleep quality was less than the mean pretest scores (18.96>6.73) among experimental group and the obtained ‘t’ value 18.33 was greater than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. The overall mean of post-test scores of sleep quality was greater than the mean pre-test score (14.2>13.93) among control group and the obtained ‘t’ value 0.25 was less than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. The overall mean post-test scores of Fatigue level was less than (3.63<8.6) among experimental group and the obtained‘t’ value 25.04 which was greater than the table value 2.05 at 0.05 level of significant and it showed that the Aromatherapy Inhalation Via is effective in reducing Fatigue level among patients undergoing hemodialysis. So, the research hypothesis was accepted. The overall mean of posttest scores of Fatigue level was greater (5> 4.83) among control group and the obtained ‘t’ test value was 0.34 which was less than the table value at 0.05 level of significance. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSION The data supported that Aromatherapy Inhalation Via was effective in improving sleep quality and reducing fatigue level among patients undergoing hemodialysis. The overall experience of conducting the study is satisfying and enriching.
