Poor sleep quality in family caregivers may impact their health status and cause quality of life to decline. Nurses are conducting an increasing number of studies that use sleep quality or related concepts as a main indicator to assess caregiver's sleep. Therefore, a clear understanding of sleep quality and how it is different from other relevant sleep domains is essential. This article aimed to analyze the concept of sleep quality using the steps outlined by Walker and Avant. Findings include (a) attributes of sleep quality including subjective perception of sleep, sleep hours, and evaluation of activity after awaking; (b) antecedents of sleep quality including the ability to get naturally into the sleep cycle and status of conscious state; and (c) consequences of sleep quality including bio-psycho-social and global dimensions of health. This article intends to help clinicians and researchers better understand and define sleep quality in dementia caregivers.
家庭照顾者睡眠质量差可能会影响他们的健康状况，并导致生活质量下降。护士们正在开展越来越多的研究，这些研究将睡眠质量或相关概念作为评估照顾者睡眠的主要指标。因此，清楚了解睡眠质量以及它与其他相关睡眠领域的差异至关重要。本文旨在运用沃克和阿凡特概述的步骤来分析睡眠质量的概念。研究结果包括：（a）睡眠质量的属性，包括对睡眠的主观感受、睡眠时间以及醒来后活动的评估；（b）睡眠质量的前因，包括自然进入睡眠周期的能力和意识状态；以及（c）睡眠质量的后果，包括生物-心理-社会和整体健康维度。本文旨在帮助临床医生和研究人员更好地理解和界定痴呆症照顾者的睡眠质量。
