Sponsor's own description

Background: According to statistics, Taiwan will become a super-aged society in 2025, and health promotion and care for the elderly are important issues of public health. With the prolongation of life, the older adults need to face their physical weakness, decline in psychological, cognitive and social related functional abilities, the prevalence of chronic diseases and the increase in the disabled population, which has a considerable impact on individuals, families and the overall social economy. However, most older adults suffering from chronic diseases are often accompanied by physical dysfunction, which affects the quality of sleep, causes emotional distress and emotional disorders, and leads to a decline in the quality of life. Studies have found that aromatherapy can not only improve sleep and emotional problems, but also relieve physical discomfort caused by diseases, achieve the purpose of reducing medical costs and improving quality of life. However, there are very few studies regrading older adults who are at risk of metabolic syndrome in community and the effects of inhalation of compound essential oils on their sleep and quality of life. Therefore, this study will explore the use of aromatherapy to improve the quality of sleep and life of the elderly. The research results can be used as a reference for community bases to promote the improvement of sleep and quality of life for older adults, so as to achieve the goal of healthy aging.
