Sleep Disturbance and Disorders within Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Settings: A Systematic Review to Identify Both the Prevalence of Disorders and the Efficacy of Existing Interventions

Older people who are admitted to inpatient rehabilitation settings often experience sleep disturbance or disorders. Both intrinsic and environmental factors may contribute to reduced sleep quality. Poor sleep quality has been reported to be associated with poorer rehabilitation outcomes. The aim of this review was (1) to describe the prevalence of sleep disturbance or disorder among older people participating in inpatient rehabilitation, and (2) to describe interventions that have been trialed to increase sleep quality and/or quantity in older people in rehabilitation settings and report on their efficacy.
