Adequate rest is a vital element in the patient's recovery. Numerous studies confirm that excessive light, noise and the routine of nursing care alter the sleep of hospitalized people. That is why the Hospital de Dénia He has launched the project Dream, a project promoted by the nursing staff and that seeks to promote the optimal rest of the hospitalized people.
This project consists of contributing to create a peaceful environment for everyone, especially at night (0h-6.30h) through a series of protocols and recommendations that are offered to patients and companions in order to ensure the well-being and rest of the patients. patients
The guidelines indicated to the professionals for the viability of the project are: to avoid unnecessary noise and lights, to try to schedule the care to allow the patients to rest and to ask and take into account the preferences of the hospitalized people.
Those responsible for the Project at the Dénia Hospital are the General Supervisors, Oscar Cabedo, Francisco José Pérez, Jessica Garrido and Alicia Villena and the Coordinator of the Training Area, Carmen Bohigues, who points out: "Nursing professionals at the Dénia Hospital are very involved in patient care and this project is another example of the commitment to their well-being and recovery".
