BACKGROUND
Sleepiness during the night shift is a common complaint of shift workers, including the nurses. This study investigated the effects of inhaled rosemary oil on sleepiness and alertness of shift-working nurses.
METHODS
Eighty shift-working nurses were selected and assigned randomly into control (n = 40) and intervention (n = 40) groups. Both groups completed the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Survey before the intervention. The intervention group received one drop of rosemary essential oil using a mask. The control group received a drop of distilled water instead, after which the questionnaires were completed for a second time.
RESULTS
The sleepiness mean score in the intervention group reduced from 12.15 to 8.3, while it increased from 11.41 to 13.76 in the control group (P < 0.001). The alertness mean scores changed from 4.45 to 3.25 and from 4.41 to 5.34 in intervention and control groups, respectively (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Rosemary aroma decreased sleepiness and increased alertness in shift-working nurses.
背景
夜间轮班时困倦是轮班工人（包括护士）常见的抱怨。本研究旨在调查罗勒油吸入对轮班护士困倦和警觉的影响。
方法
选择 80 名轮班护士，随机分为对照组（n=40）和干预组（n=40）。两组在干预前均完成了卡尔斯鲁厄睡眠问卷和嗜睡量表调查。干预组使用口罩吸入一滴罗勒精油，对照组则滴一滴蒸馏水，之后再次完成问卷。
结果
干预组的困倦评分从 12.15 分降至 8.3 分，而对照组则从 11.41 分增至 13.76 分（P<0.001）。干预组和对照组的警觉评分分别从 4.45 分降至 3.25 分和从 4.41 分增至 5.34 分（P<0.001）。
结论
罗勒香气可降低轮班护士的困倦感，提高警觉性。
