Abstract
Sleep pattern disturbance is a recognized phenomenon during the postoperative period of hospitalized adult cardiac surgical patients. Sleep disturbances may decrease healing and tissue repair and delay recovery. The nursing research study reviewed and critiqued in this column investigated the effect of a specific intervention (taped ocean sounds) on sleep in hospitalized postoperative coronary artery bypass graft patients. Implications for clinical practice and further research are discussed.Keywords
