简要总结
This study aims to determine the effects of lavender oil inhalation on anxiety, sleep quality, and blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension. The study is designed as a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The study population consists of patients presenting to the Cardiology Outpatient Clinic of Ardahan State Hospital. Participants are randomly assigned to an experimental group, which will receive a total of 12 lavender oil inhalations three times a week for one month, or to a control group, which will continue routine treatment and care. Data will be collected using the Hypertension Diagnostic Form, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses will be conducted to compare outcomes between the experimental and control groups.

Group allocation (lavender oil or control) is determined by an independent nurse. Separate consent forms and coded data entry (groups as 1 and 2) ensure blinding is maintained.
