Public ISBD No review available on this record. [article]  inArchives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.2 (Apr) 2017 [09/13/2017] . - p.231-232 Title : Patterns of Bedtime Preparation for In-patients with Schizophrenia : A Pilot Study Material Type: printed text Authors: Rodriguez, Mercedes L., Author ; Messer, Linda S., Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.231-232 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Keywords: Schizophrenia. Abstract: Sleep disturbances among patients with schizophrenia are common. Up to 80% of persons with schizophrenia experience sleep problems (Anderson & Bradley, 2013). On most adult inpatient psychiatric units, the evening routine is dedicated to getting patients to sleep. During this time, many nurses engage in what Geach (1987) described as “patient-staff ritual” (p. 100), that typically includes administration of medications with sedative effects that may persist into daytime. Exploring naturally occurring bedtime rituals geared toward sleep preparation may provide meaningful insight into patient's needs (Geach, 1987).
