abstract = {Sleep disturbances are common in nursing home residents and
challenging for their nurses. Knowledge about sleep and
sleep promoting factors is essential to provide adequate
sleep management, where nurses play a key role. Therefore,
nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards sleep and sleep
promoting interventions is important as enabling or
inhibiting factor for successful sleep management.A
multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses
working wholly or partially at night in nursing homes in
Germany. Data were collected between February and April 2021
via online or paper and pencil questionnaires, comprising 56
items. Nursing homes were recruited through existing
cooperation with the study centers as well as via nursing
home registers.Finally, 138 nursing homes participated and
271 nurses completed the survey. Nurses agreed that sleep
disturbances are an important topic with important impact on
resident' health. Although, the assessment of sleep was seen
as nurses' responsibility, only 40 nurses $(14.7\%)$ stated
that residents' sleep was always documented. Only $21.7\%$
reported the availability of policy documents providing
guidance regarding the management of sleep disturbances. The
vast majority $(93.2\%)$ reported never having received
training about sleep and management of sleep disturbances
after their basic nursing training.Our results indicate that
nurses working at night can play an important role in
residents' sleep promotion. The findings indicate nurses'
educational needs regarding sleep and sleep promotion.
Nursing homes should implement institutional guidelines in
order to promote residents' sleep based on adequate
evidence-based non-pharmacological interventions.},
