    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Poor sleep correlates are well-understood, but theories for sleep promotion interventions need further development. Research on non-pharmacological sleep interventions is limited, especially for clinical populations beyond chronic insomnia.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research
    • Sleep Science
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Insomnia is a prevalent health complaint, particularly affecting women, older adults, and those with medical/psychiatric conditions.
    • Identified correlates of poor sleep include environmental, personal, and circadian rhythm factors.
    • Nurse-led research focuses on non-pharmacological sleep promotion interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize published research on correlates of poor sleep.
    • To review non-pharmacological interventions for sleep promotion.
    • To identify gaps and future directions in sleep promotion research.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of published research, including nursing and related disciplines.
    • Categorization of interventions into environmental, relaxation, and circadian entrainment.

  • Use of ARCS software for intervention study summarization.

    • Main Results:

    • Correlates of poor sleep are extensively documented.
    • Non-pharmacological interventions are classified into three main types.
    • The research base for sleep promotion in clinical populations is sparse.

    Conclusions:

    • While poor sleep correlates are well-described, sleep promotion theories require further explication.
    • More research is needed on sleep promotion interventions for clinical populations.
    • Future research should address conceptual and methodological issues in sleep science.
