“…Wenham and Pittard () reported that in intensive care units, patients cannot sleep well and may stay awake for about 30–40% of their sleep time. Sleep disorders can be associated with increased sympathetic activity and subsequent increased blood pressure and heart rate, raising the risk for developing cardiovascular problems among patients hospitalized in coronary care units (Hajibagheri et al , ). Thus, avoiding sleep disorder in patients with cardiac diseases is also crucial in terms of reducing anxiety (Hajibagheri et al , ; Lytle et al , ).…”

“…The results of many years of nursing research have consistently substantiated that hospitalized patients experience different degrees of decline in sleep quality, varying between 50%, 60%, 65%, and 74.6% based on four studies (21). There is ample evidence showing that 30% -80% of patients admitted to the CCU develop sleep disorders (22,23), and several studies have reported poor levels of sleep quality in these individuals (24). Some studies have even suggested a potential association between sleep deprivation, poor quality of sleep, and increased mortality (25).…”

Background: There are several factors such as noise and light, which affect the sleep quality of patients admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU) and cause sleep disorders in these individuals. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of applying eye masks and earplugs as well as implementing the quiet time (QT) protocol on the sleep quality of patients hospitalized in the CCU of Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital in Zahedan. Methods: This clinical trial was performed on 135 CCU patients. Subjects meeting the inclusion criteria were chosen through convenience sampling. The patients were divided into three groups (control, eye mask and earplugs, and QT protocol) and were matched in terms of background variables. The subjects were studied over three days after admission. On the first night, the patients' sleep quality was determined by the Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale (VSH), and on the second and third nights, the interventions (eye mask and earplugs and QT protocol) were administered. The next day, as the post-test, patients' sleep quality was measured again. ANOVA test was used to determine and compare the mean sleep quality of the three groups, and the chi-square test was employed to compare the qualitative variables in the three groups. Results: After the intervention, the mean score of sleep disturbance was significantly different between the control and the two experimental groups. Also, the mean score of sleep efficacy was higher in the eye mask and earplugs group than the other two groups, indicating a better sleep quality in this group. Conclusions: As low-cost devices with no side effects, eye masks and earplugs can improve the quality of sleep in [CCU] patients, and nurses could utilize them to help reduce environmental factors, which disturb patients' sleep.

“…Moreover, it is effective in reducing daytime sleep disorder. [28] Moeini et al found that lavender essence aromatherapy reduces sleep disturbance and thus increases sleep quality of patients with ischemic heart diseases admitted to ICU. [29] Although the above studies have examined the effect of different aromas on sleep quality of cardiac patients admitted to CCU, the main nature of all these studies has been aromatherapy in hospitalized patients.…”

Background and objective: Sleep disorder and reduced rest during admission to hospital is a stimulating factor of heart attacks in coronary artery disease patients. There are different ways to improve sleep quality. Method: Aromatherapy is one of the methods used to improve sleep quality. This study determines the effects of hybrid aromatherapy on sleep quality of patients with ACS admitted to CCU. This clinical trial was conducted in 2016 on 60 patients diagnosed with ACS and admitted to CCU of the 22 Bahman Hospital, Gonabad. The patients were recruited by using convenient sampling and assigned randomly to control and experiment groups. Results: The experimental group received aromatherapy with a combination of essential oils of lavender, Matricaria recutita and neroli (6:2:0.5) for three consecutive nights; the control group received no intervention. At the beginning and the end of the study, visual VSH scale was filled out to assess sleep quality. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS20, independent t-tests, Chi-square test and exact Fisher test (p<0.05). Each group contained 30 samples who were not significantly different in terms of underlying characteristics (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in mean score of post-interventional and pre-interventional sleep quality, effectiveness and sleep supplementation (p<0.001). The mean score of sleep quality and sleep supplementation increased in the control group and decreased in the experiment group, while the mean score of sleep effectiveness decreased in the control group and increased in the experiment group. The results showed that hybrid aromatherapy as a cost effective and uncomplicated method can improve sleep quality of patients with ACS admitted to CCU.
