Abstract

Background: Intensive care patients experience a high rate of poor sleep quality. As the sleep quality is improved with nursing practices, patients' recovery and the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) may be positively influenced, and patients may benefit from treatment and care at the highest level. Therefore, it is important to explore the experiences and evaluation of nurses working in ICUs.

Objectives: This study was carried out to explore the experiences and evaluations of ICU nurses about patients' sleep.

Methods: The study is a qualitative study conducted in a descriptive phenomenological design. The data were collected using the individual in-depth interview method with the semistructured interview form. Thematic analysis was performed to analyze the data. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist was used.

Results: The analysis revealed 4 main themes, which are (1) importance of sleep, (2) evaluation of sleep, (3) reasons for poor sleep, and (4) sleep promotion interventions.

Conclusions: This study revealed that nurses are aware of the importance of sleep; however, they do not evaluate sleep and try to improve sleep quality only based on their own knowledge and experience rather than on evidence-based approaches. However, their interventions are not sufficient and they are restricted because of physical conditions and intensive care procedures.

重症病人睡眠:基于护士经验的质性研究。

背景:重症监护患者睡眠质量差的发生率很高。通过护理提高患者的睡眠质量，对患者的康复和重症监护病房(ICU)的住院时间可能产生积极影响，使患者受益于最高水平的治疗和护理。因此，探讨icu护士工作经验及评价具有重要意义。目的:探讨ICU护士对患者睡眠的体会及评价。方法:采用描述现象学设计进行定性研究。数据收集采用个人深度访谈法，采用半结构化访谈形式。对数据进行专题分析。使用了报告定性研究的综合标准(COREQ)清单。结果:分析揭示了4个主要主题，即(1)睡眠的重要性，(2)睡眠的评价，(3)睡眠不良的原因，(4)睡眠促进干预措施。结论:本研究显示护士意识到睡眠的重要性;然而，他们并不根据自己的知识和经验来评估睡眠并试图改善睡眠质量，而不是基于证据的方法。然而，他们的干预是不够的，并且由于身体条件和重症监护程序而受到限制。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
