About this study

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.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

Richards-Campbell Sleeping Questionnaire (RCSQ)

Other

This five-item visual analogue scale was designed as an outcome measure for assessing the perception of sleep in critically ill patients. The scale evaluates perceptions of depth of sleep, sleep onset latency, number of awakenings, time spent awake, and overall sleep quality.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient-nurse inter-rater reliability

    Time frame: 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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient sleep quality

    Time frame: 30 weeks

    The quality of patient sleep will be evaluated using the achieved Richards-Campbell Sleeping Questionnaire (RCSQ) scores. 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.
