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.
