Enhancing Sleep Quality for Nursing Home Residents With Dementia

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alzheimer Disease, Dementia, Sleep Disorder, Sleep Disturbance

In brief

This was a pilot study (R61) to prepare for a full clinical trial (R33) aiming to improve clinical outcomes for an important, growing, and vulnerable population-nursing home (NH) residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRDs). The goal was to pilot and refine the research methods and intervention that would be subsequently evaluated in a full implementation trial (hybrid type III). The goal of the evidence-based intervention (LOCK) that was refined in this pilot study and will be evaluated in the subsequent full clinical trial is to improve the sleep of NH residents with ADRD.

• Nursing home residents aged >=50 years with an Alzheimer disease or related dementia (ADRD) diagnosis, identified by nursing home staff participating in frontline LOCK sleep huddles as having sleep problems

You may not qualify if…

• residents with a high risk of OSA who are not being treated for OSA because actigraph measurements are inaccurate in that population.
