Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Many patients complain of poor sleep during their hospital stay. Therefore, we want to investigate how we can improve the staff's (nurses and assistant nurses) knowledge about sleep and which nursing interventions can lead to improved sleep during their hospital stay.

The intervention are in three parts:

a clinical guideline introduction of sleep nursing champions a web-based educational course

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A majority of hospitalised have reported being awakened due to external factors, of which being disturbed by hospital staff was the most common. It is therefore essential to provide nursing staff with the knowledge and tools to promote patients' sleep during hospitalisation. For this purpose, an intervention was developed to aid nursing staff in adopting evidence-based, non-pharmacological methods to promote sleep. The intervention comprises three parts: a web-based educational course, a clinical guideline and the introduction of sleep nursing champions (SNCs) at the intervention units.
