What this trial studies
This study investigates the relationship between sleep disturbances and delirium in hospitalized patients. It aims to implement a non-pharmacological sleep protocol to enhance sleep quality and subsequently reduce the incidence of delirium. The research will utilize both qualitative and quantitative methods, including cross-sectional analytical studies and intervention assessments. By identifying factors that disrupt sleep and evaluating the effectiveness of preventive measures, the study seeks to improve patient outcomes in general wards and intensive care units.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are hospitalized adults over 18 years old, staying longer than 72 hours, without prior sleep disturbances or cognitive impairments.
Not a fit: Patients with cognitive impairments, terminal diseases, or those currently receiving treatment for sleep disturbances may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved sleep quality and reduced delirium rates in hospitalized patients, enhancing their recovery process.
How similar studies have performed: While the link between sleep disturbances and delirium is still being explored, previous studies suggest that addressing sleep issues may positively impact delirium outcomes, indicating potential for success.
