The selected four articles assess the problem of sleep disturbance in hospitalized elderly
patients. The authors identify the causes of the problem and offer insightful possible
interventions. They achieved the research objectives through quantitative and qualitative studies.
Sleep deprivation has been established as a leading cause of irrationalities, delirium, and
irregular levels of blood sugar and pressure. Other issues include patients’ fall, all of which
impair recovery and patients’ outcomes.
Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this critic is to evaluate two quantitative and qualitative studies in the

approving or disputing the significance of the proposed PICOT intervention. The interventions
and control groups in the question are similar to the one addressed in the studies. They
