Popis: OBJECTIVE: To contextualize inpatient sleep duration and disruptions in a general pediatric hospital ward by comparing in-hospital and at-home sleep durations to recommended guidelines and objectively measure nighttime room entries. METHODS: Caregivers of patients 4 weeks - 18 years of age reported patient sleep duration and disruptions in anonymous surveys. Average at-home and in-hospital sleep durations were compared to National Sleep Foundation recommendations. Objective nighttime traffic was evaluated as the average number of room entries between 11:00pm and 7:00am using GOJO hand-hygiene room entry data. RESULTS: Among 246 patients, patients slept less in the hospital than at home with newborn and infant cohorts experiencing 7- and 4-hour sleep deficits respectively (Newborn: 787 ± 318 min at home vs. 354 ± 211 min in hospital, p2 hour sleep deficits at home when compared to NSF recommendations (Newborns: 787 ± 318 min at home vs. 930 min recommended, p< 0.05). Objective nighttime traffic measures revealed that hospitalized children experienced 10 room entries/night (10 ± 5.9 entries). Nighttime traffic was significantly correlated with caregiver-reported nighttime awakenings (Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient: 0.58, p=.04). CONCLUSION: Hospitalization is a missed opportunity to improve sleep both in the hospital and at home.
