Study on improvement effect of "Tianfo" essential oil on sleep quality in patients with insomnia disorder
Abstract
ObjectiveTo observe the improvement effect of "Tianfo" essential oil on sleep quality in patients with insomnia disorder.MethodsA total of 160 patients with insomnia disorder from a hospital and a community health service center in Shanxi Province between August 25 and December 30,2025 were selected.They were randomly divided into five groups:sweet orange group,lavender group,bergamot group,blank group (jojoba oil),and Tianfo group,with 32 cases in each group.All five groups received corresponding essential oil inhalation interventions on the basis of routine nursing care (5⁃10 minutes of inhalation before bedtime every night).The Tianfo group inhaled "Tianfo" essential oil,which was a blend of sweet orange and bergamot in a ratio of 2∶3.Before the intervention and at 2 and 4 weeks of intervention,the patients' sleep quality was assessed using a general information questionnaire,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).ResultsExcept for the blank group,the differences in PSQI and ISI scores between before intervention and at 4 weeks of intervention were statistically significant in the other four groups (P<0.05).The Tianfo group showed the greatest improvement.Conclusions"Tianfo" essential oil inhalation therapy can effectively improve sleep quality in patients with insomnia disorder.Its effect is superior to sweet orange,lavender,and bergamot essential oils alone,as well as blank control.The effect of 4 weeks of intervention was better than that of 2 weeks.It can be used as an adjuvant intervention for patients with insomnia disorder.
