Barriers to and Facilitators of Sleep Health in Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Dementia: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Research in gerontological nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeSleep disturbances are common among family caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWD), yet few interventions are designed to address these sleep challenges. Existing sleep interventions often overlook the specific barriers and facilitators that shape caregivers' sleep experiences. A clearer understanding of these factors is essential for developing tailored, acceptable, and effective interventions to support caregiver sleep health.
methodThe current secondary data analysis used a qualitative descriptive design. Nineteen family caregivers of PLWD who provided unpaid care for >4 hours per day and had insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index score >5) participated in the current study. Semi-structured interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsCaregivers, on average, were aged 63 years (
conclusionThe current study identified several modifiable barriers and facilitators that can inform future interventions. These findings underscore the need for early, proactive interventions that incorporate nonpharmacological strategies and consider the interconnected nature of sleep within the caregiving relationship.
