Background: Sleep deprivation is a common problem among the elderly in the cardiac care unit (CCU). Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effects of environmental modifications on sleep quality improvement in these people. Methods: The study population included 60 elderly patients whose sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index with even domains. The environmental factors that can disturb sleep quality were determined via a questionnaire, including 13 questions on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed in SPSS 22 software via independent sample student t-test and chi-square. Results: After environmental modifications, the total sleep quality scores changed from 11.8 to 5.96, indicating sleep quality improvement. Before executing the environmental modifications, there were no significant correlations between sleep quality scores and demographic variables (sex, age, marital status, and economic status). However, after the modifications, there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and economic status (P = 0.024). Conclusions: Environmental factors can affect sleep quality in the elderly hospitalized in CCU. Therefore, it is possible to improve sleep quality in these individuals by modulating environmental conditions.

Sleep quality in the elderly who experience insomnia varies greatly, there are good and some are bad. One of the complaints of elderly sleep is Insomnia, which is a degeneration process in the elderly which causes effective sleep time to decrease, and causes inadequate quality sleep. The intervention provided can be inserted in the activities of Posbindu. One of the interventions that can be given is therapy of beapreasi. This study aims to determine whether or not there is an effect of beapreasi therapy on sleep quality in the elderly with insomnia at Posbindu Kemuning, Candirejo Village, Ungaran. The research design used was quasi experiment pre-test post-test with control group and carried out on 128 respondents divided into experimental groups and control groups, each group consisting of 64 respondents. The method used to determine respondents is purposive sampling technique. Assessment of sleep quality was measured by the PSQI questionnaire and carried out 2 measurements, namely before and after being given therapy Beapreasi. The study showed that the mean PSQI value in the experimental group before intervention was 6.27 and the mean PSQI value in the control group was 5.15. Then the mean PSQI value in the experimental group after intervention was 3.67, while the mean PSQI value of the control group was 5.73. There are differences in the PSQI values in the experimental and control groups with a value of p 0.00, the value of p <0.05 so that there is a significant effect of the provision of beapreasi therapy on improving sleep quality. Beapreasi therapy interventions can improve sleep quality in elderly who experience insomnia. Beapreasi therapy can be used as one of the nurse's independent interventions in treating elderly people who experience insomnia in an effort to improve sleep quality in the elderly. Keywords: Beapreasi therapy, sleep quality, psqi (the pittsburgh sleep quality index), elderly insomnia, posbindu

Sleep quality of elderly is influenced by psychological conditions. Elderly with hypertension are affected not only by physical but also pshychological conditions. Anxiety is a part of its. This study was used a cross-sectional approach to identify the relationship between anxiety level (independent variable) and sleep quality in the elderly (dependent variable) with hypertension in the working area of ??Karangmulya Health Center, Garut Regency. This study was used Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) and the Pitsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female, 63 respondents (65.6%) and widow/widower (69.8%). The Correlation analysis between the level of anxiety and sleep quality of elderly patients with hypertension showed results P-value = 0.041(p<0.05), which means there was a relationship between the level of anxiety and sleep quality in elderly patients.

Background:OMERACT has identified sleep quality as one of the key outcomes for people with RA [1]. Poor sleep and reduced total sleep time (TST) are common complaints among people with RA. Poor sleep can in turn lead to deterioration in function, reduce activity levels and also impact mental health. Although sleep and mental health outcomes have been identified as important, they are frequently not measured in clinical trials. Involving key stakeholders, like people with RA, is important when designing exercise interventions as it allows consideration of particular issues that may influence future intervention delivery. This study involved people with RA who participated in a pilot RCT group exercise class to improve sleep quality.Objectives:To explore participants experiences of an exercise intervention in improving sleep quality and TST, to capture their reality.Methods:A descriptive qualitative study design of face-to-face semi-structured interviews was employed. The interview schedule explored a number of areas: experience of the intervention; outcome measures used; views regarding the intervention; perceptions regarding exercise and sleep and the impact on sleep. Interviews were transcribed verbatim by a professional transcriber. Inductive thematic analysis was used as an analytical approach. Interview transcripts were read, notes made, and ideas formulated to facilitate coding. The research team searched for patterns, analysed and coded the data, and generated themes and sub-themes. Themes were reviewed by the research team to check if they worked in relation to the coded extracts and the entire data set. The COREQ checklist provided guidance.Results:Twelve females participated with a mean age of 58 (SD 7.4); mean RA diagnosis of 9.9 (SD 7.4) years; moderate to severe disability (HAQ-DI: 1.5 (SD 0.60). Four main themes were generated: 1) Positive impact of exercise on sleep -“I really didn’t think any type of exercise would help me sleep better if I’m honest.”;2) Positive experiences of exercise intervention to improve sleep-“I learnt so much regarding walking that I didn’t even think about.”;3) Clear mental health benefits –“If you don’t sleep well then it will have a knock-on effect to your mental health”; 4) Achieving empowerment and ownership when exercising -“I feel empowered now and confident that I’m not doing harm to myself”.The findings demonstrated that participants were clearly surprised that exercise could improve sleep.Conclusion:In a variety of inflammatory conditions exercise is recommended as an effective intervention for the treatment of sleeping disorders. Although there is a growing consensus that exercise will benefit sleep, research is severely lacking in those with RA. This study demonstrates that participants were clearly surprised that exercise could improve their sleep. Due to the multifactorial nature of RA, engaging in exercise may not only improve sleep quality but also mitigate some of its symptoms.References:[1]Kirwan JR, Boonen A, Harrison MJ, Hewlett SE, et al (2011) OMERACT 10 Patient Perspective Virtual Campus: Valuing health; measuring outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis fatigue, RA sleep, arthroplasty, and systemic sclerosis; and clinical significance of changes in health.

Sleep quality, diet quality, and physical activity are significant factors influencing physical and mental health. However, few studies have explored their underlying mechanisms, especially among the elderly population in East Asia, where people have food culture and lifestyles distinct from those living in Western countries. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore the relationships among sleep quality, diet quality, physical activity, and physical and mental health in a Chinese elderly sample. Sleep quality, diet quality, physical activity, physical health, and mental health were investigated among 313 Chinese elderly (aged 51–92 years, M = 67.90, SD = 7.94). Mediation analysis was used to examine the empirical model based on previous theories and literature. Close positive relationships were observed between all factors investigated (r = 0.22~0.73, p < 0.001). The relationships between sleep quality and physical and mental health were partially mediated by diet quality and physical activity. In clinical interventions, sleep quality, diet quality, and physical activity can be targeted to improve physical and mental health among the older adult populations.
