The Impact of Nonpharmacological Interventions on Sleep Quality among Older Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

Bae, G., & Lim, F. (2021). Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 44(2), 214-229. 10.1097/CNQ.0000000000000355
Abstract
Abstract
Sleep is a basic human need that is required for good health and overall well-being. Adequate sleep is critical for cognitive functioning, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation by rejuvenating the body. Sleep may not be of significant concern unless it becomes lacking or disturbed as it alters the immune function, neurological processes, and intellectual and decision making of individuals. Hospitalized older adults are particularly vulnerable for the negative impact of poor sleep due to reduced physiological reserve and comorbidities. The purpose of this review is to appraise current evidence on nonpharmacological sleep interventions to promote better sleep quality and overall health outcomes among the general adult and older patients in the intensive care unit compared with no intervention at all. The findings of this integrative review will be useful in designing and implementing interdisciplinary plans of care that promote the use of nonpharmacological sleep protocols within the hospital setting.

Palliative Care Consult among Older Adult Patients in Intensive Care Units: An Integrative Review

Grabda, M., & Lim, F. A. (2021). Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 44(2), 248-262. 10.1097/CNQ.0000000000000358
Abstract
Abstract
A review of the literature indicates that there are many benefits of palliative care consultations for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Patients who received palliative care treatment were found to have a better emotional state, received less invasive procedures, and had a shorter ICU length of stay. It is noted that patients who could benefit from palliative care treatments may not be identified due to failures to meet the criteria for palliative care consultations. A culture change is needed to improve palliative services, and to standardize when and how it is used.
