DescriptionPurpose of the Project: The purpose of this project was to determine whether a standardized sleep bundle increased nurses' prioritization of sleep hygiene and improved HCAHPS scores for night time noise. Methodology: This was a quality improvement project which was quasi-experimental in design. Data was analyzed retrospectively and prospectively to measure outcomes. Outcome measures were nursing prioritization of sleep hygiene and HCAHPS scores for night time noise, pre-intervention and post-intervention. The intervention was to incorporate an evidence-based, standardized sleep bundle called the SLEEP-MAD mnemonic to routine nursing care. Results: A paired t-test was used to analyze pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys on Microsoft Excel. A level of significance (α = 0.05) was used in the analysis. Pre-intervention surveys yielded a mean score of 2.1733. Post-intervention surveys yielded a mean score of 1.9600. The lower score reflected greater prioritization of sleep hygiene in nursing care. Therefore, implementing the SLEEP-MAD mnemonic increased nurses’ prioritization of sleep hygiene. HCAHPS scores of night time noise remained the same. Implications on Practice: This project’s results suggest that implementing a standardized sleep bundle increases nurses’ prioritization of sleep hygiene. By increasing prioritization, a sleep bundle may increase patients’ overall sleep quality. This project has the potential to be launched in other units within other specialties to create a more standardized approach to sleep hygiene in acute care settings.
