Observation on the Influence of Adjusting Medication Time on Sleep Disorders in Psychotic Patient

Objective To explore the clinical intervention methods in psychotic patients with sleep disorders. Methods 80 psychotic patients in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2011 were selected in this study and randomly divided into the experimental group and control group. 42 patients in the control group received the conventional psychiatric nursing, while 38 patients in the experimental group received the reasonable adjusting medication time combined with effective psychological counseling on the basis of conventional psychiatric nursing. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the quality of sleep before and after intervention. Results The differences of total PSQI score and various factors score before the intervention between two groups were not statistically significant (P 0.05). The PSQI score, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep duration, sleep disturbances, and daytime function score in experimental group decreased 90 days after intervention, and compared with those before intervention, the differences were statistically significant (P 0.05). The total PSQI score and various factors score in control group had slight decline, but compared with those before intervention, the differences were not statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusions Effective clinical nursing intervention in psychotic patients with sleep disorders can improve their quality of sleep, and prevent unexpected accident.
