Abstract
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure to improve the quality of life of patients with osteoarthritis. However, postoperative recovery can be difficult due to sleep disturbance, such as poor sleep quality, and postsurgical pain.
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to examine recent evidence regarding changes in sleep quality after TKA and to explore factors affecting the postoperative recovery process.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. We screened the PubMed, Google Scholar, ScopeMed, and Science Direct databases in December 2022 using the keywords sleep, total knee replacement surgery, knee arthroplasty, and sleep disruptions for relevant articles published between 2011 and 2022. Seven studies met all inclusion criteria and were included in the final sample for analysis.
Results: Findings revealed that sleep disturbance was common during the early stages of the TKA recovery period and may be related to pain. After three months, sleep quality improved and pain intensity decreased. Three studies found a correlation between sleep and pain; however, another three studies did not.
Conclusion: Health professionals, including surgical nurses, should be aware of the potential impact of TKA on sleep quality and understand, assess, and manage sleep disturbance and pain to provide comprehensive care for their patients and enhance recovery.
