Summary

While many interventions have targeted hospital staff to improve sleep, few have been successful, and often suffer from limited adherence to staff protocols. Given preliminary data that suggests that empowered patients are more likely to obtain better sleep and have objectively lower noise levels in their rooms, it is plausible that partnering directly with patients can mitigate sleep loss and improve health outcomes. Patients will be randomized to receive the I-SLEEP education and empowerment program and test the effectiveness of this program on patient sleep and health outcome in the hospital and post-discharge. The aim of the project is to reduce environmental, healthcare-related, and patient-related factors that disrupt sleep of hospitalized patients by use of patient education and empowerment intervention.
