Abstract
Sleep is prominently significant for critically ill patients in intensive care units. However, they cannot sleep well since their sleep cycle gets interfered by these two main factors: 1) physical disturbance caused by lights and noise from needed medical devices in the unit and 2) psychological conditions from fear and anxiety of both disease severity and processes of treatment. Nurses in the intensive care units, as persons who get closest to the patient, should provide better sleep for them.
The better sleep-providing process begins with estimating the patients’ sleep efficiency and disturbing factors in order to provide nursing assistance under nurses’ independent roles, which are 1) alleviating physical discomfort by providing a suitable environment for sleep along with pain management for the patients. 2) reducing any disturbance caused by nursing activities as well as provide appropriate sleeping periods and 3) taking special care of the patients’ psychological, social and spiritual conditions by clearly declaring their treatment progresses and allow the patients and their relatives to participate in treatment planning.
Anyway, this sleep-providing guidelines for critically ill patients should be considered under particular conditions of each workplace – location, personnel, available resources, etc. Practitioners from all correlative responsibilities should be educated due to the corresponding cooperation, as well.
