A total of 120 patients were assigned to experimental and control groups by randomization. The study was completed with 100 patients including 50 in the experimental group and 50 in the control group. Lavender essential oil was applied to the experimental group for 20\u00a0min prior to going to bed every night for 5 consecutive days. Physiological saline solution was applied to the control group in the same way. A Participant Information Form, the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and the Piper Fatigue Scale were used as data collection tools.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The experimental group showed a significantly higher sleep quality (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) and had a significantly lower PFS scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) compared to the control group.
