Enhancing Sleep Quality for Nursing Home Residents With Dementia

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study seeks to improve clinical outcomes for an important, growing, and vulnerable population-nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias-by testing an evidence-based intervention to improve these residents' sleep. It will also examine the implementation and sustainment of this intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Disturbed sleep places older adults at higher risk for frailty, morbidity, and even mortality. Yet nursing home (NH) routines frequently disturb residents' sleep through use of noise and light or efforts, for example, to reduce incontinence. NH residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias-almost two-thirds of long-stay NH residents-are likely to be particularly affected by sleep disturbance. This study tackles these important issues and substantially moves forward goals of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease 2018 Update by proposing to implement an evidence-based intervention to improve sleep: a NH frontline staff huddling program known as LOCK. The LOCK program is derived from evidence supporting strengths-based learning, systematic observation, relationship-based teamwork, and efficiency. This is an incomplete stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial to test the impact and sustainability of the LOCK sleep program. In 24 community nursing homes (NHs)-eight from each of 3 national NH corporations-our multi-disciplinary team will examine these aims: (1) Implement the LOCK-based sleep program for residents with ADRD using the train-the-trainer model. (2) Estimate impact of the LOCK sleep program on sleep (primary outcome) and on psychotropic medication use, pain and analgesic medication use, and activities of daily living decline (secondary outcomes). (3) Examine factors, using mixed methods, associated with variation in the program's implementation and its sustainability. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
