Critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are affected by underlying illnesses, invasive medical interventions, interruptions by nursing care, emotional distress, and hospital environments. These patients often have severe sleep disturbance. Sedatives and analgesics can have adverse effects on sleep physiology, whereas non-pharmacological interventions can safely improve sleep quality. However, research and systematic reviews in this field are lacking. We performed a systematic review to summarize the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for sleep promotion. Studies published between 2009 and May 2019 were collected in the following databases: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Airiti Library. The following key search terms were used both individually and in combination: ''non-pharmacological interventions,'' ''critical care,'' and ''sleep quality.'' Studies were thoroughly assessed using the guidelines of the modified Jadad scale for randomized controlled trials. A total of seven articles met the criteria and were used in the present review. The seven studies had mid-level evidence quality and modified Jadad scale scores of 5 or 6. We included trials that used earplugs, eye masks, or both| valerian acupressure| aromatherapy| and music interventions. However, the quality of evidence on the use of non-pharmacological interventions for promoting sleep in adults in the ICU was low. Future studies should use more rigorous research designs, randomized controlled trials, and larger sample sizes to support these results. |
