Impact of a nurse-led sleep programme on the sleep quality and depressive symptomatology among older adults in nursing homes: A non-randomised controlled study.

To summarise, the results of this study showed that the nurse-led sleep programme improved the sleep quality and reduced depressive symptomatology in cognitively intact nursing home residents. In this context, we can assert that interventions for sleep problems should be individualised by addressing sleep experience and sleep management strategies of older adults living in nursing homes and should be integrated with motivational interviewing techniques.
