“…13 Similarly, it was reported that sound intensities within hospitals surpassed the acclaimed noise levels proposed by the WHO by 20 dB. 15 Despite congruent findings with most literature, our study did not yield any significant difference between patients’ sleep quality at different bed locations. This could be due to the extensive noise pollution in urban Singapore, a small yet densely populated with over 7000 residents within each square-meter of open space.…”

“…It is a brief 5-item questionnaire, used to evaluate sleep depth, sleep latency, number of awakenings, sleep efficiency and sleep quality via a 10 centre-metre visual analogue scale. 15 The total mean RCSQ scores of the five components with scores interpreted as ‘poor’ sleep (0–3.3), ‘average’ sleep (3.4–6.6), and ‘optimal’ sleep (above 6.6). The RCSQ is a fairly suitable tool that can be used to measure the quality of sleep of individuals, owing to its high reliability and validity scores with a reported high Cronbach alpha of 0.90 and correlation coefficient of 0.70.…”

Background Inpatient sleep quality is influenced by multiple factors including medical conditions, use of medication and the ward environment. Without adequate rest, detrimental effects on patients’ physical and psychological performances may persist, inhibiting recovery and increasing length of stay. Objective This study examined the sleep quality of adult inpatients and its’ associations with sociodemographic, clinical and environmental factors. Methods An observational study was conducted in the medical wards of an acute care hospital in Singapore from July to December 2018. Patients completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to establish baseline sleeping habits and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) to assess perception of sleep quality during hospitalisation. Noise levels were measured using the SL-4023SD sound level meter. Environmental factors affecting sleep were also recorded. Results 52 patients were recruited reported a mean RCSQ score of 5.83 (SD = 2.31) and mean Global PSQI score was 6.06 (SD = 3.33), indicative of poor baseline sleep. The highest mean noise level presented with an average reading of 80 dB, surpassing the WHO recommended noise levels by two times. Subjective sleep quality was not affected by demographic, clinical factors and bed locations. Patients exposed to night lamps reported a reduction in sleep quality ( p = .04). Conclusions Recognising the importance of overall sleep quality and the identification of external factors influencing patients’ sleep quality during hospitalisation is a vital step towards developing successful interventions to promote good sleep hygiene in the general wards of the Asian context.

“…The questionnaire was translated into Persian by Amirifar et al, and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The inter-rater reliability coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were 0.714 and 0.906, respectively (35). In this study, the reliability of the tool was assessed again and confirmed with an inter-rater reliability coefficient of 0.89.…”

Background: Sleep is one of the basic physiological needs of human life. Hospitalization causes disturbances in the sleep pattern and decreases the quality of sleep. The present study aimed to compare the effect of Swedish massage and earplugs/eye masks on the quality of sleep of patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of the teaching hospitals affiliated with Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in Zahedan, Iran, in 2022. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 40 patients admitted to the ICUs of Khatam Al-Anbia and Ali Ibne Abi-Talib hospitals in Zahedan. The participants were selected through convenience sampling from the patients who met the inclusion criteria. By using the permuted block technique with colored cards (red and yellow), the patients were placed into two Swedish massage and earplug/eye mask groups. After enrollment in the study, the patients in both groups did not receive any intervention during the first night, and their sleep quality was checked using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) as a pre-test during the first night. The participants in both groups received the intended interventions on the second night after entering the study, and their sleep quality on the second night was measured as a post-test. The participants in the first intervention group received a Swedish massage one night for 20 minutes before bedtime in the back area (lumbar cavity to the shoulder). Moreover, the participants in the second intervention group were asked to wear earplugs and eye masks for one night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The collected data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, and chi-square test with SPSS software (version 26). Results: The results showed that the mean sleep quality scores for the participants in the Swedish massage group and earplug/eye mask group were 130.25 ± 41.91 and 135 ± 44.36 before the intervention, respectively. In addition, the mean sleep quality scores for the participants in the Swedish massage group and earplug/eye mask group were 202 ± 46.03 and 184.79 ± 39.5 after the intervention, respectively, showing a significant increase in the sleep quality scores for the participants in both groups after the intervention (P = 0.001). In addition, the independent samples t-test confirmed that the mean sleep quality score for the participants in the Swedish massage group was significantly higher than that of the participants in the earplug/eye mask group after the intervention (P = 0.037). Conclusions: Non-pharmacological interventions, such as Swedish massage and wearing earplugs and eye masks, can have a significant effect on increasing the sleep quality of patients admitted to the ICU. The data in this study indicated that compared to the earplug/eye mask group intervention, Swedish massage had a greater effect on improving the sleep quality of the patients. Therefore, the Swedish massage technique, which does not cause sensory restrictions similar to those of earplugs/eye masks, can be applied as an inexpensive intervention without any complications to improve patients’ sleep quality.

“…Additional measures include 1) duration of delirium (counted at 12-h periods; the end of delirium is defined when patients are delirium-negative for 24 h or discharged to the ward); 2) Self-reported sleep quality collected daily and calculated as an average across the ICU stay (using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ)) 27 ; 3) ICU and hospital mortality; 4) duration of invasive mechanical ventilation; 5) ICU and hospital length of stay; 6) mobilisation-related complications; and 7) mobility level at ICU discharge using the Manchester Mobility Score. 28 …”
