Abstract

 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of footbathing for inpatients suffering from sleeplessness.

 Method: Heart rate, high frequency power (HF), ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF), and subjective sleep quality was measured in ten inpatients (mean age 55.4±8.6 years) who complained of sleeplessness. Each inpatient experienced footbathing treatment (FB) as well as a non-footbathing treatment (CT). CT and FB were performed on different days. In this study, the nurse remained at the bedside engaging the inpatient in conversation for the duration of footbathing. Footbathing was performed before the inpatients went to bed.

 Result: Patterns of heart rate and LF/HF over time differed significantly between CT and FB. In CT, heart rates decreased after sleep, and the decrease was mild. In contrast, in FB, heart rates decreased remarkably, after the lights out. In CT, LF/HF did not decrease during sleep and remained high. In FB, LF/HF decreased significantly after sleep and remained low while inpatients slept. Inpatients reported better sleep quality following FB than that following CT.

 Conclusion: Our results suggest that footbathing prior to sleep effectively ameliorates inpatient sleeplessness.
