Key result
Postoperative sleep patterns correlate significantly with physical and emotional recovery following cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
The relations among sleep pattern alterations, physical function, and emotional well-being after cardiac surgery are not well understood.
Are sleep patterns related to physical function and emotional well-being 4 and 8 weeks after cardiac surgery?
Population
72 cardiac surgery patients

Are sleep patterns related to physical function and emotional well-being 4 and 8 weeks after cardiac surgery?
Sleep quality and efficiency are significantly associated with physical function and emotional well-being during the first 8 weeks of recovery after cardiac surgery.
Redeker et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery (n=72). Sleep patterns (sleep efficiency and quality) was evaluated on Physical function and emotional well-being. Sleep patterns, including efficiency and quality, explained 16% and 8% of the variance in physical function, and 12% and 13% of the variance in emotional well-being at 4 and 8 weeks post-surgery.
