Abstract

Purpose: To examine the effect of walking interventions on sleep quality of persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers (dyads), and how different companions affect results.

Method: Forty-five dyads were divided into three groups: a control group and two experimental groups (one with a care attendant, one with a family caregiver). The two experimental groups engaged in 120 minutes of walking per week for 24 weeks.

Results: A significant improvement in sleep quality was observed among PWD in the family caregiver group (Wald χ² = 4.55, p = 0.033), whereas there was no improvement in the care attendant group. A slight improvement in sleep quality of family caregivers was also found.

Conclusion: Findings suggest the importance of creating individualized walking activity plans for dyads, incorporating trust and rapport-building strategies to improve sleep quality. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(8), 46-56.].

步行干预与痴呆症患者及其家庭照顾者的睡眠质量：不同步行同伴的影响

目的：研究步行干预对痴呆症患者及其照顾者（双人）睡眠质量的影响，以及不同陪伴者对结果的影响：四十五对伴侣被分为三组：对照组和两个实验组（一组有护理人员陪伴，另一组有家庭护理人员陪伴）。两个实验组每周步行 120 分钟，持续 24 周：在家庭护理组中，残疾人的睡眠质量有明显改善（Wald χ2 = 4.55，p = 0.033），而在护理人员组中则没有改善。此外，还发现家庭护理者的睡眠质量略有改善：研究结果表明，为二人组制定个性化的步行活动计划，结合信任和建立融洽关系的策略，对改善睡眠质量非常重要。[老年护理杂志》，50（8），46-56。］
