Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common among perimenopausal women due to hormonalfluctuations and psychosocial changes, which may negatively affect physical health,emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions areincreasingly recommended in primary health care settings to manage sleep problemssafely and effectively. This study aimed to examine the relationship between lavenderaromatherapy and sleep quality among perimenopausal women in a primary health caresetting. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design wasconducted involving 60 perimenopausal women aged 45–55 years who were dividedinto an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Sleep quality wasassessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The intervention groupreceived lavender aromatherapy via inhalation using a diffuser for 30 minutes beforebedtime over seven consecutive days, while the control group received no aromatherapyintervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and theMann–Whitney U Test. The results showed a significant improvement in sleep qualityin the intervention group, with the mean PSQI score decreasing from 12.00 (SD = 1.89)to 6.23 (SD = 2.73) (p < 0.001), whereas no significant change was observed in thecontrol group (p = 0.349). Posttest comparison revealed a significant difference in sleepquality between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). In conclusion, lavenderaromatherapy is associated with improved sleep quality among perimenopausal womenand may serve as an effective complementary intervention in primary health caresettings.
