description | BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances are common in nursing home residents and challenging for their nurses. Knowledge about sleep and sleep promoting factors is essential to provide adequate sleep management, where nurses play a key role. Therefore, nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards sleep and sleep promoting interventions is important as enabling or inhibiting factor for successful sleep management. METHODS: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working wholly or partially at night in nursing homes in Germany. Data were collected between February and April 2021 via online or paper and pencil questionnaires, comprising 56 items. Nursing homes were recruited through existing cooperation with the study centers as well as via nursing home registers. RESULTS: Finally, 138 nursing homes participated and 271 nurses completed the survey. Nurses agreed that sleep disturbances are an important topic with important impact on resident’ health. Although, the assessment of sleep was seen as nurses’ responsibility, only 40 nurses (14.7%) stated that residents’ sleep was always documented. Only 21.7% reported the availability of policy documents providing guidance regarding the management of sleep disturbances. The vast majority (93.2%) reported never having received training about sleep and management of sleep disturbances after their basic nursing training. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that nurses working at night can play an important role in residents’ sleep promotion. The findings indicate nurses’ educational needs regarding sleep and sleep promotion. Nursing homes should implement institutional guidelines in order to promote residents’ sleep based on adequate evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12877-023-03928-9. |
