The investigator assessed the quality of sleep by using Modified Chol Shin sleep quality scale among visually challenged elderly persons in visually challenged home. After pretest, on the next day basil oil was applied for visually challenged elderly persons for 30 days. On 31st day the investigator assessed the posttest level of quality of sleep among visually challenged elderly persons. The mean value was 37.73 with standard deviation 14.26. The t? test value (calculated value) = 12.2 and the calculated value was higher than (Table value) = 2.05 (CV>TV).
