Implementation Outcomes for the SLUMBER Sleep Improvement Program in Long-Term Care.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo describe the implementation of a mentored staff-delivered sleep program in nursing facilities.
designModified stepped-wedge unit-level intervention. SETTING AND
participantsThis program was implemented in 2 New York City nursing facilities, with partial implementation (due to COVID-19) in a third facility.
methodsExpert mentors provided staff webinars, in-person workshops, and weekly sleep pearls via text messaging. We used the integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARiHS) framework as a post hoc approach to describe key elements of the SLUMBER implementation. We measured staff participation in unit-level procedures and noted their commentary during unit workshops.
resultsWe completed SLUMBER within 5 units across 2 facilities and held 15 leadership meetings before and during program implementation. Sessions on each unit included 3 virtual webinar presentations and 4 in-person workshops for each nursing shift, held over a period of 3 to 4 months. Staff attendance averaged >3 sessions per individual staff member. Approximately 65% of staff present on each unit participated in any given session. Text messaging was useful for engagement, educational reinforcement, and encouraging attendance. We elevated staff as experts in the care of their residents as a strategy for staff engagement and behavior change and solicited challenging cases from staff during workshops to provide strategies to address resident behavior and encourage adoption when successful. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Engaging staff, leadership, residents, and family of nursing facilities in implementing a multicomponent sleep quality improvement program is feasible for improving nursing facilities' sleep environment. The program required gaining trust at multiple levels through presence and empathy, and reinforcement mechanisms (primarily text messages). To improve scalability, SLUMBER could evolve from an interdisciplinary investigator-based approach to internal coaches in a train-the-trainer model to effectively and sustainably implement this program to improve sleep quality for facility residents.
