Summary

Lack of sleep is a large problem for many patients in hospitals. Common causes are nuisances by light and sound. Especially with critically ill patients in the Intensive Care unit (ICU), Medium Care Unit (MCU) and Cardiac Care Unit (CCU), who are are monitored intensively, a lack of sleep often occurs.

Patients with a lack of sleep more offer suffer from delirium, are more often anxious and stressed, and have a longer length of stay in the hospital. Also, patients' lack of sleep enhances nurses workloads during nightshifts. Because of this, there is a strong need for innovative devices which aim to limit the light and sound nuisances and thereby enhance patients' quality of sleep in the ICU, MC and CCU.

The Maya is a special "cover" which can be placed over the head of the bed. As a result patients are able to limit light and sound nuisances and enhance their privacy.

With this pilot-study we aim to determine:

* The feasibility and experiences of patients and healthcare professionals with the Maya.
* To determine the effect size of dependent variables which can be used in future studies.
