Abstract

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) survivors often experience sleep disturbances. Little is known about sleep-management practices used to improve their sleep. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore interest in and engagement with self-management practices to promote sleep health in SAH survivors. We conducted a cross-sectional qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with a convenience sample of 30 SAH survivors recruited from a university hospital. We conducted content analysis of interview transcripts. Three themes and 15 subcategories were identified: (1) sleep disturbances (difficulties falling asleep, wake after sleep onset, daytime sleepiness, too much or insufficient sleep, and poor sleep quality); (2) sleep-management practices (exercise, regular sleep schedule, relaxation, keeping busy and staying active, changing beverage intake, taking supplements, taking medications, recharging energy, and barriers to sleep management); and (3) consulting with healthcare providers (discussing sleep problems with healthcare providers). Self-management strategies focusing on health-promoting behaviors may improve SAH survivors' sleep health.
