Patients' Sleep at the Intensive Care Unit

Completed

• Conditions: Sleep Quality of ICU Patients
• Interventions: Other: Richards-Campbell Sleeping Questionnaire (RCSQ)

• Registration Number: NCT03856489
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital Ostrava

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate patient-nurse reliability and agreement of the Richards-Campbell sleep questionnaire (RCSQ) in a population of medical intensive care unit patients.

Detailed Description

The main instrument of this research is the Richards Campbell Sleeping Questionnaire (RCSQ) regarding patients' overnight sleep quality. This questionnaire is given to complete to eligible patients between 7 am and 10 am. The same questionnaire is given to the night-shift nurse between 7 am and 7:30 am, who was taking care of that particular patient overnight. This RCQS assessment is based solely on each nurse´s perception of the patient´s sleep quality last night. Neither the nurse nor the patient know each other´s RCSQ response.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient-nurse inter-rater reliability	30 weeks	The inter-rater reliability between the evaluation of sleep quality performed by the patient and the nurse, as per Richards-Campbell Sleeping Questionnaire (RCSQ) score achieved, will be assessed. The RCSQ tool is used to assess a total of five dimensions pertaining to sleep, each of which is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 100.
