Do Daytime Activity, Mood and Unit Tumult Predict Nighttime Sleep Quality of Long-Term Care Residents?
Based on the premise that stressors can have a cumulative effect on people with dementia throughout the day that contributes to negative consequences later in the day, we examined if daytime activity, unit tumult, and mood were associated with sleep quality. A convenience sample of 53 long-term care...

| description | Based on the premise that stressors can have a cumulative effect on people with dementia throughout the day that contributes to negative consequences later in the day, we examined if daytime activity, unit tumult, and mood were associated with sleep quality. A convenience sample of 53 long-term care (LTC) residents participated in this correlational study. Objective sleep quality was measured using actigraphy, and comorbid illness and level of dementia were control variables. Half of the sample had a sleep efficiency that was less than 80% and was awake for more than 90 min at night. Comorbid illness, negative mood at bedtime, and daytime activity level accounted for 26.1% of the variance in total sleep minutes. Census changes and the use of temporary agency staff were associated with poor sleep. Findings suggest daytime activity, mood at bedtime, and unit tumult should be considered when designing and testing interventions to improve sleep quality. |
