: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie

Abstract

Background: Sleep is one of the contributing factors to good perceived health. Because the brain and its functions rest and recover during sleep, the brain needs seven hours of uninterrupted sleep. Disturbing environments such as unwanted noise occur as a negative impact on sleep quality. The nurse is responsible for the nursing care, and plays an important role in promoting patients sleep quality. One of the sub-goals of the nursing care is optimal sleep and rest for the patients’. Aim: The aim was to investigate experiences of sleep quality in adult inpatient care. Method: A general literature review based on 11 qualitative articles. The search was performed on the databases Cinahl Complete and PubMed. The qualitative articles that were found were then reviewed with HKR's review template for qualitative articles. For the analysis Friberg's (2017) five-step model was used. Results: The identified main category was Factors that affect sleep quality and the three identified subcategories were The hospital environment - An unfavorable environment to sleep in, Physiological factors and Psychological factors. Discussion: The quality of this study was discussed using Shenton's (2004) concept of credibility. Three findings were also discussed: noise in the hospital environment, reduced sleep quality related to concern and anxiety and pain that affects sleep quality. The findings was discussed with Ekmans (et al., 2020) model for person-centred care, from an ethical perspectiv and societal perspective.
