Background: Sleep is an important component for establishing a proper physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of an individual. It is a highly complex and organized phenomenon and its structure tend to change with advancing age. The consequences of chronic sleep problems are considerable among older adults. It highlights the importance of treating sleep problems in the elderly. The non-pharmacological interventions can be the better choice to manage sleep problems in elderly. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of nursing intervention on quality of sleep among elderly people with sleep disturbance. Methods: The study design was quasi experimental, non-randomized, pretest posttest, control group design. A total of 180 participants, 90 in each experimental and control group were included. Quality of sleep was assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The nursing intervention used for this study includes Sleep Hygiene Education and Progressive Muscle Relaxation. The elderly people in experimental group received 16 weeks of nursing intervention including one week learning session and 15 weeks practice session. Results: There was a highly significant difference between the control group and experimental group on overall sleep quality (p<.001) and also there was a significant difference in all the components of quality of sleep. Conclusion: Sleep disturbance is common among elderly. In geriatric population with sleep disturbance, sleep hygiene education and progressive muscle relaxation are the effective means of interventions in improving their quality of sleep.Keywords

Determination of the quality of evaluation is an ongoing challenge to all educators. Selection of appropriate evaluation methods can enhance learning ability among nursing students and their performance in clinical tasks. The OSCE is a method of clinical evaluation which is highly comprehensive, systematic and objective and provides a uniform basis for evaluation of students. The present study was carried out to compare the nursing students’ performance between Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Traditional Practical Examination (TPE) in psychiatric nursing at Apollo College of Nursing, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, South India. Approval of the study was obtained from the Institutional review board, and Principal of Apollo College Nursing. Permission was obtained from the concerned authorities of the Psychiatric Hospital. Setting was selected through purposive sampling technique. The research design used for the study was randomized cross over research design with two groups. The study was conducted among 84 (42 students in each group) III year B.Sc. Nursing students, were selected using the consecutive sampling technique. The study subjects were randomly allocated to two groups (Group I and Group II) and then sequentially received two phases of intervention of OSCE and TPE or vice versa. Seventeen stations (including one rest station) OSCE and TPE were conducted in the private psychiatric hospital (100 marks each) with one-month washout period between these Examinations. Tools used in the study include baseline characteristics of the students, OSCE and TPE evaluation formats which were developed by the researcher. The collected data were organized, tabulated and statistically analyzed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS software statistical computer package version 16. Study findings revealed that, students’ performance scores were higher in OSCE while comparing to TPE within and between the groups (P<0.001). Hence it is recommended that, OSCE can be effectively used as a part of formative and summative evaluation in Psychiatric Nursing.Keywords
