简要总结
This observational study aimed to understand the effect of intervention A on sleep disorders in individuals with Alzheimer's disease receiving sunlight therapy. The primary question of the study was:
Does sunlight therapy improve sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease? Participants will complete a questionnaire, undergo sunlight therapy. They were informed that sun exposure therapy could effectively improve sleep, and behavioral interventions were discussed to develop a health education plan. Patients received monthly telephone support and encouragement from the time of admission until the next follow-up visit. Three months after admission (until the next follow-up visit), patients completed questionnaires including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), and the Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD) questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI
时间窗: on enrollment days, three months after admission (until the next follow-up visit).
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) assesses sleep quality. It has seven dimensions: sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, medication use, and daytime activity impairment. A higher PSQI score indicates poorer sleep quality. The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with a minimum score of 0, indicating very good sleep quality over the past month. Lower scores indicate better sleep quality, while a total score of 5 or below is generally considered to indicate fair sleep quality.
