Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the results of sleep hygiene education via a comprehensive geriatric assessment.
Method: A cross-sectional research was conducted on insomnia outpatients at a tertiary hospital, and all participants received sleep hygiene education as well as a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Sleep parameters were assessed before and four weeks after education.
Results: The study included 141 participants. A significant improvement was obtained in all four scales' scores before and after education (PSQI score 11 [8-13] vs. 5 [3-9], p < .001; SHI score 12 [8-16] vs. 4 [1-8], p < .001; ESS score 6 [3-8] vs. 2 [0-6], p < .001; Jenkins SS score 15 [10-19] vs. 7 [5-11], p < .001). Female gender ratios, as well as the presence and risk of malnutrition, differed between groups with and without the PSQI score improvement. In the regression analyses, female gender and the presence of malnutrition or malnutrition risk were evaluated as possible factors affecting the PSQI responses (respectively, OR: 3.48, CI 95%: 1.21-10.00, p = .020; OR: 0.29, CI 95%: 0.09-0.949, p = .041).
Conclusion: Sleep hygiene education and interdisciplinary interventions are crucial in the management of sleep disorders in older adults.
