Summary

Many patients sleep poorly in the hospital. This study tests whether training nurses and assistant nurses on sleep guidelines and providing a web-based sleep course can improve patient sleep. Researchers will interview staff, survey patients, and compare results between trained and untrained units. 300 participants are involved at Karolinska University Hospital.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple staff training improves patient sleep in hospitals.
What could go wrong
