Abstract

Background & Aim:The agingprocess makes the sleep quality of older people tend to decrease and affects sleep and rest patterns in the elderly population. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is widely used to support clinical treatment. However, its use to address sleeping quality in the Indonesian elderly population is barely studied. This study aimedto determine the effectsof hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the elderly’s sleep quality.Methods:The study used a pre-experimental design. The intervention variable was ten sessions of hyperbaricoxygen therapy (HBOT), while the outcome variable was thesleep quality in theelderly. The sample was 65 persons, selected by simple random samplingfrom the eligible elderly patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Naval Health Institute, Surabaya, Indonesia. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) was used to assess the outcome and the data were analyzed with the Paired T-Test. Results:After receiving the HBOT, the average value of sleep quality in the elderlyimproved from 6.63(poor category) to 4.35(good category) with p = 0.001. The results indicate that HBOTcould significantly improve sleep quality in the Indonesian elderly. Conclusions:HBOT can be used to treat elderly patients with sleep disorders. Further studies are needed to identify the long-term effect of HBOT on the outcome. Also, the provision of HBOT to improve sleep quality for the wider elderly population requires further investigation with a more rigorous methodology such as a randomizedcontrolled tria
