Long-term care (LTC) involves a range of support and services for people with chronic illness and disabilities who can not perform activities of daily living independently. Poor sleep increases the risk of LTC placement, and sleep disturbance is extremely common among LTC residents. The identification and management of sleep disturbance in LTC residents is a vital, but perhaps underappreciated, aspect of offering high-quality care for this already compromised population. This review describes the nature and consequences of sleep disturbances in LTC, clinical assessment and management of sleep disturbances in LTC, and implications for future research and clinical practice.
长期护理（LTC）涉及为患有慢性疾病和残疾且无法独立进行日常生活活动的人群提供一系列支持和服务。睡眠不佳会增加接受长期护理的风险，而睡眠障碍在长期护理机构的居民中极为常见。识别和管理长期护理机构居民的睡眠障碍是为这一本已脆弱的人群提供高质量护理的一个至关重要但可能未得到充分重视的方面。本综述描述了长期护理中睡眠障碍的性质和后果、长期护理中睡眠障碍的临床评估和管理，以及对未来研究和临床实践的影响。
