This study aimed to comprehensively assess the factors influencing sleep disturbances in hospital wards, with a comparison of the sleep quality of patients staying in single rooms to those in shared rooms. A mixed-methods approach was used to examine patient-reported sleep quality and sleep disruption factors, in conjunction with objective noise measurements, across seven inpatient wards at an acute tertiary public hospital in Sydney, Australia. The most disruptive factor to sleep in the hospital was noise, ranked as \u2018very disruptive\u2019 by 20% of patients, followed by acute health conditions (11%) and nursing interventions (10%). Patients in shared rooms experienced the most disturbed sleep, with 51% reporting \u2018poor\u2019 or \u2018very poor\u2019 sleep quality. In contrast, only 17% of the patients in single rooms reported the same. Notably, sound levels in shared rooms surpassed 100\u00a0dB, highlighting the potential for significant sleep disturbances in shared patient accommodation settings. The results of this study provide a comprehensive overview of the sleep-related challenges faced by patients in hospital, particularly those staying in shared rooms. The insights from this study offer guidance for targeted healthcare improvements to minimize disruptions and enhance the quality of sleep for hospitalized patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/intqhc\/mzae042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T13:33:17Z","timestamp":1715347997000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["The silent threat: investigating sleep disturbances in hospitalized patients"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9263-8658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corey","family":"Adams","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), Macquarie University , Sydney, NSW 2113, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8609-9827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reema","family":"Harrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), Macquarie University , Sydney, NSW 2113, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3824-1793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"Schembri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Health Network , Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moira","family":"Junge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sleep Health Foundation , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6739-0558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramesh","family":"Walpola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of New South Wales (UNSW) , Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052115554181100_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-018-3201-z","article-title":"They can rest at home: an observational study of patients quality of sleep in an Australian hospital","volume":"18","author":"Delaney","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Health Serv Res"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"384","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2010.11.006","article-title":"The quality and duration of sleep in the intensive care setting: an integrative review","volume":"48","author":"Elliott","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int J Nurs Stud"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.7748\/ns.29.28.35.e8947","article-title":"Improving sleep for patients in acute hospitals","volume":"29","author":"Norton","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nurs Stand"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1354","DOI":"10.1097\/HJH.0b013e32835465e5","article-title":"Short sleep duration and increased risk of hypertension","volume":"30","author":"Faraut","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Hypertens"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.2147\/NSS.S134864","article-title":"Short- and long-term health consequences of sleep disruption","volume":"9","author":"Medic","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nat Sci Sleep"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1177\/0885066610394322","article-title":"Sleep deprivation in critical illness: its role in physical and psychological recovery","volume":"27","author":"Kamdar","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Intensive Care Med"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccc.2012.10.007","article-title":"Preventing delirium in the intensive care unit","volume":"29","author":"Brummel","year":"2013","journal-title":"Crit Care Clin"},{"key":"2024052115554181100_R8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apnr.2018.08.004","article-title":"Are noise reduction interventions effective in adult ward settings?
