Abstract

Purpose: Coexisting dementia and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) can negatively impact persons with dementia (PWD) and their family caregivers. Little research has investigated the relationship of sleep disturbance (i.e., RBD) in PWD-caregiver dyads who live together. Thus, we aimed to examine the impact of RBD symptoms on sleep quality of PWD and their family caregivers and describe sleep interrelationships.

Method: This mixed methods study analyzed qualitative and quantitative data (wearable devices, semi-structured interviews, sleep diaries, and sleep quality surveys). Two dyads' sleep parameters and sleep experiences are reported.

Results: Findings demonstrated that RBD symptoms in PWD affected sleep quality negatively (frequent awakening during the night and shortened deep sleep).

Conclusion: Current findings highlight the importance of RBD assessment and management for PWD, as it could help improve caregivers' and PWDs' sleep quality and well-being. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(5), 247-255.].

有快速动眼期睡眠行为障碍的痴呆症患者及其家庭照顾者的严重睡眠障碍：混合方法研究。

目的：同时患有痴呆症和快速眼动睡眠行为障碍（RBD）会对痴呆症患者（PWD）及其家庭照顾者产生负面影响。很少有研究调查过共同生活的痴呆症患者和照顾者之间的睡眠障碍（即快速眼动睡眠障碍）关系。因此，我们旨在研究RBD症状对残疾人及其家庭照顾者睡眠质量的影响，并描述睡眠之间的相互关系：这项混合方法研究分析了定性和定量数据（可穿戴设备、半结构式访谈、睡眠日记和睡眠质量调查）。结果：研究结果表明，RBD 患者的睡眠质量与其家人的睡眠质量密切相关：结果：研究结果表明，残疾人的肢体活动障碍症状对睡眠质量有负面影响（夜间频繁醒来和深度睡眠时间缩短）：结论：目前的研究结果凸显了对残疾人进行肢体活动障碍评估和管理的重要性，因为这有助于改善护理人员和残疾人的睡眠质量和福祉。[老年护理研究》，17（5），247-255。］

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
