Sleep Quality of Older People in the Community
Keywords:
sleep, sleep quality, older people, communitiesAbstract
In older people, sufficient sleep is integral to physical restoration and conducive to good health. Sleep is assessed qualitatively, and poor sleep quality is usually found more in older people than in adults and in children. Even so, poor sleep quality in older people is often overlooked, and no serious attention has been paid to this condition. Such inattention could result in the aggravation of sleep quality and lead to various physical, psychological, social, and economic adverse effects, all of which are factors that could heighten the mortality rate. Healthcare professionals, therefore, play an important part in assessing sleep quality in older people and in finding ways to improve their sleep quality and overall quality of life.
The primary objective of this article was to review literature related to sleep quality in older people in communities. This article discusses definitions of sleep, sleep quality in older people, sleep quality assessment, factors contributing to sleep quality, effects of poor sleep quality on older people, and sleep quality management for older people with poor sleep quality. This article also presents basic knowledge for observing, preventing, and addressing the problem of poor sleep quality in older people
