“…The previous study found that several aspects of carers' sleep were significantly predicted by factors such as depression, sleep hygiene, burden, and the sleep of care-receivers (Peng et al, 2019). Additionally, stress, depression, and anxiety were found to be major contributors to poor sleep (Almutairi, 2022). Therefore, the goal of this research was to find sleep-related factors in FCGs of elderly with dementia.…”

Background: Family caregivers (FCGs) face many problems when taking care of people with dementia. Purpose: This study wanted to explore the factors related to FCGs’ sleep in people with dementia. Methods: The study used a systematic review approach based on PRISMA. The study focused on FCGs for people with dementia in the home setting. A narrative synthesis was employed. Results: The result showed that the sleep problem and severity of a patient with dementia have an essential role in their state. Those indirectly impact the FCGs’ condition. The majority of the study’s sleep problems were related to physical fatigue that influenced the FCGs’ distress. Coping mechanisms have an essential role in the caregiver situation. A maladaptive coping mechanism would increase the stress of the caregiver and lead to a sleep problem. Conclusion: The consequences of those are burden and depression. Therefore, FCGs should be supported by families, friends, and healthcare workers. Community online groups of the FCGs might be helpful to support each other.

“…26,27 Tele-Savvy may still have considerable relevance for sleep disturbance in PLwD as it reduced caregiver stress and depressive symptoms and improved caregiver self-care. 26,[28][29][30][31][32] Since stress and depressive symptoms are associated with poor sleep outcomes. 4,31,[33][34][35][36][37] and acts of self-care such as meditation and relaxation are related to having better sleep, [38][39][40] it is feasible to posit that a reduction in stress and depressive symptoms with enhanced self-care may improve sleep.…”

Introduction Sleep disturbance is prevalent in caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLwD). Tele-Savvy, a 7-week virtual psychoeducational intervention, enhances caregivers’ competence and self-care, and reduces depression. While not explicitly designed to do so, Tele-Savvy can potentially improve caregivers’ disturbed sleep. The present study aimed to examine the longitudinal effects of Tele-Savvy on caregivers’ sleep quality and insomnia. Methods This was a secondary data analysis of a 3-arm randomized control trial [Tele-Savvy (active treatment), Healthy Living (attention control), and usual care (waitlist control)]. Multilevel mixed modeling with intent-to-treat principles tested for group, time, and group-by-time effects. Effect sizes were estimated for all changes from baseline to the initial 6-month post-intervention point. Following completion of the 6-month post-randomization delay, we examined combined outcomes for Tele-Savvy. Results Participants (n=137; mean age 64.7 years) were predominantly female (68.6%) and White (68.6%). We found no initial group-by-time effects for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). For the combined Tele-Savvy group, there was a statistically significant improvement in ISI scores across time (p=0.050). The combined Tele-Savvy effect size for PSQI was d=0.126 and ISI was d=0.310. Discussion Tele-Savvy resulted in a significant long-term reduction in insomnia symptoms in this sample of caregivers of PLwD and demonstrated a positive trend for improvement in their sleep quality. Since sleep disturbance is so prevalent among caregivers of PLwD, the inclusion of sleep health education into psychoeducation caregiver interventions may yield even better outcomes for caregivers.
