The Effects of Background Noise for Adult Patients' Sleep Quality in Intensive Care Unit.

Sleep Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effects of Background Noise for Adult Patients' Sleep Quality in Intensive Care Unit: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Poor sleep quality is one of the most common problems among adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The causes of sleep disturbance are complicated. Poor sleep quality can lead to negative consequences for patients' physical and mental health. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as background noise, have been recommended to increase the threshold level of sound during nighttime and achieve masking effects to improve subjective sleep quality. This study is a randomized controlled trial that compared two parallel patient groups.The hypothesis of this study is that background noise can improve sleep quality in adult ICU patients compared with conventional treatment group.

Clinical Trial Description

Poor sleep quality is one of the most common problems among adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Statistics indicate that over 50% of ICU patients report sleep abnormalities, such as sleep fragmentation, arousals, frequent awakenings, and poor sleep quality. The causes of sleep disturbance are complicated, with evidence suggesting that environmental factors such as noise, from alarms and machines that are active around the clock in the ICU, play a significant role. Poor sleep quality can lead to negative consequences for patients' physical and mental health. Sleep promotion interventions, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, have been proposed. However, the side effects of pharmacological intervention may also lead to poor outcomes. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions, such as background noise, have been recommended to increase the threshold level of sound during nighttime and achieve masking effects to improve subjective sleep quality. This study was conducted in randomized controlled trial that compared two parallel patient groups. Patients were included by convenience sampling in a medical center in Taiwan. The Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale (VSHSS) was used to assess subjective sleep quality. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of background noise intervention in sleep quality in adult intensive care unit patients. ;
