Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will be conducted in a randomized, controlled and experimental manner with patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant unit and Hematology-Oncology unit of Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital after obtaining the necessary permissions. The number of patients to be included in the study will be determined by power analysis. The study will include patients who are willing to participate, have no communication problems, are 18 years of age or older, and have no known allergy to lavender oil. Patients with allergies, drug addiction and refusal to participate in the study will not be included in the study. Before the study, patients will be divided into intervention and control groups using a simple random number table. At the beginning of the study, a form including socio-demographic and disease information, Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale will be evaluated. Two different options will be used to prevent findings. The first group will be treated with lavender oil and the second group will be treated with saline and 2 drops will be placed on the patient's shoulder 20 minutes before bedtime every night. The application will be started simultaneously with the chemotherapy and will continue until the end of chemotherapy treatment. Sleep and fatigue will be assessed daily using the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and Piper Fatigue Scale.
