Understanding Sleep in Hospitalized Older Patients
Completed
Conditions studied: Sleep Deprivation, Sleep Fragmentation
In brief
The overall goal of this research is to elucidate how environmental, healthcare, and patient-level factors and patients' level of perceived control impact sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older patients and to assess whether better in-hospital sleep is associated with improved physical activity and health outcomes. We hypothesize that environment, healthcare disruptions and patient symptoms will be significantly associated with objective and subjective sleep duration and sleep quality in hospitalized older patients. We also hypothesize that a high level of perceived control will be associated with improved sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older patients. We further hypothesize that shorter sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older adults will be associated with adverse health outcomes, namely higher blood pressure and blood sugar.
