Abstract
The study was conducted “to assess the effectiveness of warm footbath on quality of sleep among patients with cancer in selected hospital at Trichy District. It was conducted by Mrs.GAYATHRI.M., as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of science in Nursing to the Tamilnadu Dr. MGR. Medical University Chennai During the year of 2017-2019. The Objectives of the study were (1) To assess the pretest and post test level of quality of sleep among patient with cancer in experimental and control group. (2) To evaluate the effectiveness of warm footbath among patient with cancer in experimental group. (3) To find the association between the pretest level of quality of sleep among cancer patients with their selected demographic variables and clinical variables in experimental and control group. In this study a quasi-experimental, Non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group design was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select each 30 samples in experimental and control group who fulfilled the inclusive criteria. The warm footbath was given among patients with cancer to for 5 consecutive days at bed time. Groningen sleep quality scale was used for assessing the Pre and Posttest level of quality of sleep at 1st and 5th day. Results: The data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results shows that majority of the patients, 10 (33.33%) patients were belonged to the age group of 56-60 years, 16 (55.33%) were females, 17 (56.67%) patients were Hindu, 14 (46.67%) were Non Formal education, 12 (40%) were Private employee, 24 (80%) had Rs.7000 and above, 29 (96.67%) were married. In experimental group, the pre test level of quality of sleep 17 (56.67%) had disturbed sleep, 9 (30%) had poor sleep and 4 (13.33%) had undisturbed sleep. Whereas in post test of quality of sleep 28 (93.33%) had undisturbed sleep and only 2 (6.67%) had disturbed sleep. In control group, the pre test level of quality of sleep 20 (66.67%) had disturbed sleep, 9 (30%) had poor sleep and only one (3.33%) had undisturbed sleep whereas in the post test of quality of sleep 19 (63.33%) had undisturbed sleep, 9(205) had poor sleep and only 2 (6.67%) had undisturbed sleep among patients with cancer in the control group. In control group, the pretest mean score of quality of sleep was 7.10 and the post test mean score of quality of sleep was 6.86. The mean difference score was 0.23 i.e., 1.64%. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 0.980 was not found to be statistically significant. This clearly infers that there was no significant difference in the level of quality of sleep among patients with cancer in the control group. In experimental and control group, the pretest mean score of quality of sleep in the experimental group was 6.75 and the pretest mean score of quality of sleep in the control group was 7.10. The mean difference score was 0.37 i.e., 2.64%. The calculated overall ‘t’ test value of t = 1.124 was not found to be statistically significant. In experimental and control group, the post test mean score of quality of sleep in the experimental group was 4.50 and the post test mean score of quality of sleep in the control group was 6.86. The mean difference score was 2.36 i.e., 16.86%. The calculated overall ‘t’ test value of t = 9.592 was found to be statistically highly significant. The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 0.980 was not found to be statistically Significant. This clearly infers that there was no significant difference in the level of quality of sleep among patients with cancer in the experimental and control group. Hence H1 was accepted. The pretest mean score of quality of sleep in the experimental group was 6.73 and the pretest mean score of quality of sleep in the control group was 7.10. The mean difference score was 0.37 i.e., 2.64%. The calculated over all ‘t’ test value of t = 1.124 was not found to be statistically significant. Hence H2 was accepted. The post test mean score of quality of sleep in the experimental group was 4.50 and the post test mean score of quality of sleep in the control group was 6.86. The mean difference score was 2.36 i.e., 16.86%. The calculated over all ‘t’ test value of t = 9.592 was found to be statistically highly significant. Hence H3 was accepted. It means that the intervention of warm footbath is effective which improves the quality of sleep in the experimental group among patient with cancer at Harshamitra super specialty cancer Centre and research institute, Woraiyur. The result of the study showed that warm footbath was improve the quality of sleep and induce sleep among patient with cancer and obviously reduced the insomnia which also elevates the nursing satisfaction of the patients.
