Summary

The goal of this study is to test potential functional/psychosocial benefits of improved sleep using a program designed to teach nursing facility staff to improve sleep promoting strategies and environment for nursing home residents. Sleep disturbances are quite common in skilled nursing facilities and affect as many as 69% of residents while staff do not fully understand how to improve sleep without using medications. Medications for sleep are commonly used as first-line therapy for older adults but this is problematic because these medications can lead to greater problems with thinking, more frequent falls, and even worse sleep over time. In addition, poor sleep can lead to depressed mood, greater trouble with thinking and memory, worse pain, and greater need for help with daily activities.

BEHAVIORAL

Sleep Using Mentored Behavioral and Environmental Restructuring

SLUMBER is a non-pharmacological intervention program, delivered by providing mentoring to facility staff who work directly with residents. SLUMBER focuses on detecting sleep-disruptive factors including: nighttime noise and patient behaviors associated with poor sleep quality; disruptions caused by nighttime caregiving; daytime inactivity; and limited light exposure. In this model, staff-delivered interventions to improve these factors improve sleep quality thereby creating opportunities to test the impact of improving sleep quality (measured by actigraphy) on mood (depression and anxiety), pain, cognitive function, functional ability, and observed activity levels.
