Abstract :
Comfort is a basic physiological need for
human beings. The need for rest and comfort is an
important need for maintaining a good quality of life1
.
Although the individual needs are unique. Adequate rest
and sleep is vital for optimal physical and psychosocial
functioning of the individual. For sick patients rest and
sleep must be considered as one of the important
components of their therapy2
. Nurses must help patients
to achieve optimum rest and sleep in order to expedite the
process of their healing and recovery. It is, therefore,
crucial to review the various aspects of sleep, factors
affecting the sleep patterns in orthopedic patients and
related nursing interventions in order to reduce and
prevent sleep disturbances in high dependency patients in
orthopedic wards1
. Methods: A quantitative quasiexperimental study conducted among conveniently
selected sixty (30 experimental and 30 control)
immobilized orthopedic male clients. Quality of sleep was
assessed using modified sleep quality scale for both
experimental and control group and partial bath was
given between 6 pm to 8 pm for five days to experimental
group whereas control group received no intervention.
Results: Majority of the males are aged between 30 – 50
years, married and doing moderate work. More than half
of the patients were staying 8-13 days in hospital
postoperatively. In pre-test all the patients from both
experimental and control group had severe sleep
disturbance and at the end of the post test 73.33% of
them from experimental group had no sleep disturbance.
The t-value (0.097) with p=0.360 in pretest between
experimental and control group shows that there is no
significant difference which proved both the groups are
equal statistically and the post test result shows that the tvalue is -28.192 with the p=<0.0001 which is highly
significant deference between experimental and control
group. Hence the result proved the evening partial bath is
effective in improving the quality of sleep. Conclusion:
The present study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of
evening partial bath on quality of sleep among
immobilized orthopedic male clients, the results of this
study proved that the evening partial bath is effective in
improve the quality of sleep among the male orthopedic
clients
