Abstract

Background: Hypertension, or persistently high blood pressure, generally leads to a decline in sleep quality due to dizziness and reduced physical comfort. The sedative and anxiolytic properties of apigenin and the flavonoids found in chamomile aromatherapy help relax the body, making it a potential complementary therapy for addressing sleep disturbances in patients with hypertension. Objective: To describe the application of nursing care using chamomile aromatherapy for a patient with hypertension experiencing sleep disturbances. Methods: This study used a descriptive case study design on a patient with hypertension at Dr. R. Soedarsono Regional General Hospital for 3 days. The intervention was performed using a humidifier with 5-8 drops of chamomile essential oil diluted in 70-100 mL of water for 10-15 minutes. Daily sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality. Results: A significant improvement was observed as indicated by a decrease in the PSQI score from 12 to 5. The patient also appeared much more physically relaxed and to awaken less often at night. Conclusion: The study showed that chamomile aromatherapy effectively improved sleep quality in hypertensive patients. This method is worthy of recommendation as a safe complementary intervention to accompany conventional medical therapy.
