“…In this study, the more fatigue is perceived, the poorer the sleep quality experienced by participants, similar to the finding from the previous study by Nasiri et al (2016). Some studies also confirmed the associations of fatigue and global PSQI score using different kind of fatigue measurements (Dos Santos et al, 2011, Fink et al, 2012, Riegel, 2012.…”

“…The participants in this study seemed to have a lower mean global fatigue index/GFI (22.99), ranging from 10 -44 on the MAF than several studies in USA (29.8 to 35.08) (Jeon and Redeker, 2016, Redeker et al, 2010b, Redeker et al, 2012, Fritschi and Redeker, 2015. Findings from another study by Nasiri et al (2016) revealed a lower score of GFI among patients with HF in Iran (5.92). This study also had different scores on the domains.…”

“…All participants in the current study had fatigue. Some studies showed that fatigue was prevalent among patients with HF, ranging from 45.8 to 100% (Austin et al, 2011, Perez-Moreno et al, 2014, Nasiri et al, 2016, Tang et al, 2010. The participants in this study seemed to have a lower mean global fatigue index/GFI (22.99), ranging from 10 -44 on the MAF than several studies in USA (29.8 to 35.08) (Jeon and Redeker, 2016, Redeker et al, 2010b, Redeker et al, 2012, Fritschi and Redeker, 2015.…”

“…Fatigue was measured by the Multidimensional Assesment of Fatigue (MAF) (Belza et al, 1993). The Cronbach's alpha for this scale in HF population is 0.93 (Redeker et al, 2010b, Nasiri et al, 2016, in the current study alpha was 0.76. PSQI was used to measure sleep quality.…”

“…This study also had different scores on the domains. In the study, the participants received a greater mean of severity (4.77 vs. 1.52) and distress (4.31 vs. 1.73), but lower in degree of interference in ADL (2.16 vs. 2.58) and timing (2.88 vs. 5.92) than those in the Nasiri et al (2016) study.…”

Heart failure (HF) patients may experience fatigue and poor sleep quality due to impairment in cardiac structure or function. These distressing symptoms may create a vicious circle leading to poor outcomes but often undervalued and ignored among patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fatigue and sleep quality among patients with HF in Indonesia. A cross-sectional, correlational study design was performed with 153 convenience samples recruited from a cardiology outpatient department at a medical center in Indonesia. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses (independent t-tests, one-way Analysis of Variance, and Pearson correlation), and hierarchical regression analysis were utilized to analyze the data. Instruments included demographic characteristics and clinical variables questionnaire, the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The mean age of participants was 61.86±10.79 years old and the mean duration of HF diagnosis was 4.26±5.48 years. All participants complained of fatigue, while 73.2% had poor sleep quality. Participants who were poor sleepers had a higher proportion of individuals used massage, not having taken dyslipidemia drugs, had normotension or well-controlled blood pressure, and suffered from hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and renal diseases. All fatigue domains, except the degree of interference in ADL, was significantly associated with sleep quality. However, only the timing domain determined sleep quality, meaning, the longer the fatigue, the poorer the sleep quality. This study suggests future interventions should be directed to decrease the level of severity, distress reduction, and particularly shorten fatigue duration should be developed to improve the sleep quality.

Background and Objectives. There is limited and contradictory evidence about the effect of aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils on the fatigue of cardiac patients. Therefore, the present study was aimed to compare the effect of aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils on fatigue in cardiac patients. Methods. This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 105 cardiac patients. They were randomly divided into three groups: peppermint essential oil (n = 35), lavender essential oil (n = 35), and control (n = 35). Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to collect data. The intervention was performed for 7 nights. Before and after the intervention, the questionnaire was completed by all patients. In each intervention group, patients inhaled 3 drops of lavender or peppermint essential oils. In the control group, patients inhaled 3 drops of aromatic placebo. Results. The results showed the average fatigue decreased in the study groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of lavender and peppermint in terms of mean fatigue after the intervention. However, there was a statistically significant difference between lavender and control groups ( P < 0.001 ), as well as peppermint and control groups ( P < 0.001 ). Conclusion. Aromatherapy with peppermint and lavender essential oils can reduce the fatigue of cardiac patients, so the use of these fragrances is recommended.

BackgroundFatigue poses risks to occupational health and safety, affecting individuals' work efficiency, physical health, and social security, as well as human wellbeing and quality of life. Olfactory interventions, due to their low interference, are considered promising strategies for mitigating fatigue and reducing occupational health hazards.ObjectiveThe objective of this review is to bridge the current gaps in the literature by conducting a scoping review of olfactory interventions on human alertness. It aims to explore their application in various occupational settings and to provide comprehensive and practical guidance for the practical application of olfactory interventions in mitigating fatigue and reducing occupational risks.MethodsThe literature research was conducted in English using electronic databases such as Web of Science. Keywords related to scent and fatigue and the review followed PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews and PICO framework.Results28 studies were included in this work. Participant characteristics, fatigue measurement methods, and scent intervention methods, such as types of scents, intervention strategies, and scent presentation systems, are thoroughly investigated and discussed. Additionally, the study places a specific emphasis on the applications and research within the field of scent interventions for fatigue driving. Olfactory interventions have been applied to populations in various occupational fields, demonstrating beneficial effects on both physiological and psychological fatigue.ConclusionsOlfactory intervention is effective and promising for enhancing alertness and improving the occupational environment. To provide detailed and practical guidance for the actual application of olfactory intervention in fatigue relief and reducing occupational health and safety hazards, further research into the potential mechanisms, applications, and efficacy assessment systems of fatigue-related olfactory interventions is necessary.
