The aim of this study was to undertake a detailed exploration of sleep in the context of 24 hours in a care home environment, exploring the subjective experience of residents and the perceptions of staff.
Qualitative research in four care homes for older people consisting of semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observations. Interviews were conducted with 38 residents and 39 staff, and were analysed using a grounded theory approach.
The findings have highlighted some challenges and opportunities for developing practice in care homes to improve residents' sleep. In addition to pain and physical disabilities, the physical environment and practices in care homes can affect residents' sleep and night-time experience.
Improving our understanding of residents' and staff's experiences at night in care homes can inform the development of good practice in night-time care and contribute to a positive culture of person-centred care.
本研究旨在对养老院环境中24小时内的睡眠情况进行详细探究，探索居民的主观体验以及工作人员的看法。
对四家养老院中的老年人进行定性研究，包括半结构化访谈和人种志观察。对38名居民和39名工作人员进行了访谈，并采用扎根理论方法进行分析。
研究结果突出了养老院在改善居民睡眠方面发展实践的一些挑战和机遇。除疼痛和身体残疾外，养老院的物理环境和做法会影响居民的睡眠和夜间体验。
增进我们对养老院居民和工作人员夜间体验的了解，可为夜间护理的良好实践发展提供信息，并有助于营造以人为本的积极护理文化。
