Sleep disorders and sleep promotion in nursing practice.

Winner of a 2011 American Journal of Nursing Book-ofthe-Year award and holder of four stars from Doody’s Book Reviews, this manual compiles chapters from 28 leading experts on the subject of sleep ranging from physiology of normal sleep through recommendations for future research. The stated purpose of the book is to not only provide a reference for nurse educators and practitioners, but also “to integrate the science of sleep into nursing practice, education, and research” (p. xi). The resulting text holds the distinction of being the most comprehensive evidence-based resource available to educate nurses about their role in addressing sleep disorders encountered in every day practice. Viewing sleep as a biobehavioral phenomenon present throughout the lifespan, the book is designed for educators, practitioners, and researchers. Both editors are well-established sleep researchers with extensive experience in different nursing clinical specialties: Redecker in primary and acute care and McEnany in mental health. Nancy Redeker, Professor and Associate Dean of Scholarly Affairs at Yale University School of Nursing, focuses on sleep disorders among adults who have chronic medical conditions, primarily cardiovascular. In addition to having served as President of Eastern Nursing Research Society, she is currently editor of Heart & Lung, The Journal of Acute & Critical Care. McEnany, Professor of nursing at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, concentrates both his clinical practice and research in the area of adult mental health. With a strong interest in psychobiology and psychopharmacology, he maintains a private practice as well as teaching in the undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. An associate editor for Issues in Mental Health Nursing, he continues his work related to the role of sleep in schizophrenia and depression. Both are federally funded researchers in their specialty areas. Offering a compilation of sleep knowledge from eminent nurse scientists, this manual contains critical empirical information about sleep including gender, age, racial and cultural differences; psycho-physiological mechanisms; and individual and societal consequential costs of disorders. The nurse’s role in care of patients across the lifespan and in various settings is explored by multiple nurse experts who provide specific sleep promotion strategies for use in the everyday practice of educators, care providers, and employers. In addition, the authors provide information about numerous web-based resources.
