Abstract
Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common among senior citizens and significantly affect their physical, psychological, and social well-being. Elderly individuals residing in old age homes are at increased risk of poor sleep quality due to age-related changes, chronic illnesses, environmental factors, and emotional stress. Sleep hygiene education is a simple, non-pharmacological intervention that promotes healthy sleep behaviors and improves sleep quality.
The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality among senior citizens residing in selected old age homes of Rajasthan. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test research design was adopted. A total of 100 senior citizens were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire and a standardized sleep quality assessment scale. Sleep hygiene education included information on sleep routines, environmental modifications, relaxation practices, and lifestyle changes. Post-test assessment was conducted on the 7th day after the intervention.
The findings revealed a significant improvement in post-test sleep quality scores compared to pre-test scores (p < 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of sleep hygiene education. The study concludes that sleep hygiene education is a safe, cost-effective, and feasible nursing intervention to enhance sleep quality among senior citizens in institutional settings.
