Abstract:
Sleep pattern disturbance is a common nursing diagnosis among critically ill adults. Using nursing judgement in selecting the sleep assessment tool to be used in a critical care unit is a complex process that can help identify the insomnia more precisely and can lead to nursing interventions tailored to the individual patient's needs and situation.
