Objective: To assess sleep quality in patients in an acute rehab unit.

Design: Cross-sectional survey study. Setting : Acute rehabilitation unit. Participants : 42 patients admitted to the acute rehab unit participated in the study.

Interventions: The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) was provided on admission regarding sleep at home and in the hospital. The questionnaire was repeated daily throughout their stay regarding sleep in the acute rehab unit. The questionnaire has been previously validated against polysomnography as a reliable marker of sleep quality.

Main Outcome Measures: Visual analog scale (VAS) of sleep depth, falling asleep, number of awakenings, percent of time awake and quality of sleep were obtained through use of the RCSQ. An additional question on noise was added. Scores ranged from 0 for “worst sleep possible” to 100 for “best sleep possible.”

Results: Patients reported trends of better sleep in all domains in the acute rehab unit compared to the hospital, with statistically significant differences noted in percent of time awake, quality of sleep and noise, as well as overall sleep perception as calculated by averaging the 5 RCSQ sleep domains (P < 0.05). No significant differences were noted between sleep in the acute rehab unit and at home for any domains. Conclusions: Patient in the acute rehab unit experience sleep quality that matches their experience at home and exceeds that in the hospital.

Level of Evidence: Level IV
