Environment and Perceived Control: Improving Sleep in Hospitalized Older Patients
The overall goal of this research is to elucidate how environmental, healthcare, and
patient-level factors and patients' level of perceived control impact sleep duration and
quality in hospitalized older patients and to assess whether better in-hospital sleep is
associated with improved physical activity and health outcomes.
We hypothesize that environment, healthcare disruptions and patient symptoms will be
significantly associated with objective and subjective sleep duration and sleep quality in
hospitalized older patients.
We also hypothesize that a high level of perceived control will be associated with improved
sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older patients.
We further hypothesize that shorter sleep duration and quality in hospitalized older adults
will be associated with adverse health outcomes, namely higher blood pressure and blood
sugar.

This research can lead to a better understanding of the effects of inpatient sleep on health
outcomes for hospitalized older patients and can help inform the design and evaluation of
interventions designed to improve sleep in hospitalized older patients. This work can also
form the foundation for understanding the longer term health effects of inpatient sleep loss
for older patients that are potentially modifiable.
