Sleep disorders are an important problem frequently seen in cancer patients. It is known that especially lavender from aromatherapy applications is used for sleep disorders and effective. The purpose of the study is to review the studies on the effect of lavender on sleep of cancer patients. The study was conducted by scanning Pubmed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, EBSCOhost, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Ovid, ProQuest, Web of Science and ULAKBIM National Databases (January 2000-April 2020). The keywords 'Lavender', 'Cancer', and 'Sleep' were used to access the articles. A total of 15 articles were reached. Five articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the review. 367 participants and 5 articles were included in the review. According to the reviewed articles, lavender which was applied to patients by inhalation and massage methods via a piece of cotton with lavender oil placed at the base of the nose or in the form of an aroma stick using aromatherapy diffuser for minimum two nights can enhance their sleep quality and decrease their sleep disorders. Any side effect of lavender was not reported during the studies. Since lavender is easy to use, cheap and has no side effect, it was stated that lavender can be applied to patients to enhance their sleep quality. Number of the studies investigating the effect of lavender on sleep of cancer patients is limited. Therefore, it is thought that there is a need of randomized controlled trials with participation of higher number of patients to make generalization.

Uyku bozuklukları kanser hastalarında sıklıkla görülen önemli bir problemdir. Aromaterapi uygulamalarından özellikle lavantanın uyku problemlerinde kullanıldığı ve etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı kanser hastalarında lavantanın uyku üzerindeki etkisini değerlendiren çalışmaları incelemektir. Çalışma Pubmed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, EBSCOhost, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Ovid, ProQuest, Web of Sciene ve ULAKBİM Ulusal Veri Tabanları (Ocak 2000-Nisan 2020) taranarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışmalara ulaşmak için 'Lavanta', 'Kanser', 'Uyku' anahtar kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Toplam 15 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmaya alınma kriterlerini karşılayan 5 çalışma incelemeye dahil edilmiştir. Derlemeye 367 katılımcı ve 5 çalışma dahil edilmiştir. İncelenen çalışmalara göre hastalara en az iki gece, aromaterapi difüzörü ile, aromastik şeklinde ya da burnun altına konulan lavanta yağı emdirilmiş pamuk ile yapılan inhalasyon yöntemi ve masaj yöntemi ile lavanta uygulaması hastaların uyku kalitesini arttırıp, uyku bozukluklarını azaltabilir. Çalışmalar sırasında ise lavantanın herhangi bir yan etkisi bildirilmemiştir. Lavantanın kullanımının kolay, maliyetinin ucuz olması ve yan etkisinin olmaması nedeniyle uyku kalitesinin arttırılmasında hastalara uygulanabileceği belirtilmiştir. Kanser hastalarında lavantanın uyku üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmalar oldukça sınırlıdır. Çalışmaların sınırlı olması nedeniyle genelleme yapabilmek için daha fazla sayıda hastanın katılımı ile gerçekleştirilen randomize kontrollü çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu düşünülmektedir.
