Stroke is a leading cause of disability with over 1 million people in the UK living with the effects of stroke. Sleep is important for many aspects of daily life, but there is growing evidence that people sleep worse after a stroke, and this impacts negatively on rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life. Stroke survivors have highlighted to us that it is difficult to sleep in the hospital after a stroke, and they feel that sleep isn't perceived as high priority despite clear importance for next day function and healing.
This project will develop and test a sleep education package for clinical staff and stroke survivors in the rehabilitation hospital. Specifically, we aim to (1) develop a training programme for staff and a toolkit of resources about sleep for staff and stroke survivors, (2) assess acceptability and usability of the package, and, following modifications, (3) assess the feasibility of delivery of the sleep education package and collecting data about patient's sleep.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Other: Sleep education package
Staff sleep training implementation
Staff and patients will receive sleep resources and staff will receive sleep training
Staff perceptions of the usefulness of sleep education package
Proportion of staff who received the sleep package rating the package as useful, using a likert scale 4-point rating from 1=no definitely not, to 4=yes definitely
Time frame: 2 months following enrolment
Staff perceptions of the relevance of the sleep education package
Proportion of staff who received the sleep package rating the package as relevant, using a 4-point likert scale from 1=no definitely not, to 4=yes definitely
Time frame: 2 months following enrolment
Staff perceptions of the appropriateness of the sleep education package
Proportion of staff who received the sleep package rating the package as appropriate, using a 4-point likert scale from 1=not appropriate at all, to 4=very appropriate
Time frame: 2 months following enrolment
Patient perceptions of the usefulness of the sleep education package
Proportion of patients who received the sleep package rating the package as useful. 10-point Likert scale rating for usefulness of resources, from 1=not useful at all, to 10=very useful.
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Patient perceptions of acceptability of measures that staff use to support sleep
Likert scale rating of how acceptable they found measures that staff were using to try to support their sleep, from 1=not acceptable at all, to 10=very acceptable.
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit (exact time from enrolment varies between participants depending on the length of their clinical stay in the rehabilitation hospital). Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Self-reported sleep
Sleep assessed using the Sleep Condition Indicator questionnaire (SCI), from 0-32, with higher values indicating better sleep
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Sleep disruption
Assessed using actigraphy (wearable activity monitor) over the duration of their stay in hospital from enrolment to discharge. Higher values indicate more disrupted (worse) sleep. The minimum value is 0. There is no specified maximum value. According to the manual for the software which does the calculation the definition of sleep fragmentation index is "the sum of the Mobile time (%)' and the 'Immobile bouts \<=1min".There are no units associated with sleep fragmentation.
Time frame: Continuous from recruitment till discharge from the rehabilitation unit. The exact timeframe will differ between participants depending on the length of their clinical stay in the rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Sleep related impairment
Sleep assessed using the Sleep related impairment questionnaire (SRI). Each question is scored from 1 to 5, yielding a raw total sum score from 8 to 40. Higher raw numbers mean worse daytime impairment. Raw scores are translated into a T-score using official lookup tables. Interpreting the T-Score: 50 or lower: Normal or better-than-average wakefulness/55 to 59 (0.5 to 1.0 SD above mean): Mild sleep-related impairment/60 to 69 (1.0 to 2.0 SD above mean): Moderate sleep-related impairment/70 or higher (2.0+ SD above mean): Severe sleep-related impairment.
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Sleep disturbance
Sleep assessed using the Sleep disturbance questionnaire (SD). 5-point Likert scale (1 = never to 5 = always) covering the past 7 days. Sum the raw scores (range 8-40) and use a standard look-up conversion table to change the raw total into a standardized T-score (mean = 50, standard deviation = 10). T-Score Interpretation: \< 55: None to slight sleep disturbance/55.0 - 59.9: Mild sleep disturbance/60.0 - 69.9: Moderate sleep disturbance/70 and over: Severe sleep disturbance
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Perception of sleep quality
Sleep assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep questionnaire. Scored by measuring 5 visual analog scale items from 0 to 100 millimeters. Each item score is summed and divided by 5 to yield a total score from 0 (worst sleep) to 100 (best sleep), with scores under 50 indicating poor sleep.
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Sleep environment
Sleep assessed using the sleep environment questionnaire (ASE). The Assessment of Sleep Environment (ASE) is a 13-item self-report questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3 ("strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"). Summing all items yields a total score from 0 to 39, where higher scores reflect a more disruptive, poorer sleep environment.
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Mood
Mood assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ8). Each item is rated from 0 to 3 based on how often symptoms occurred over the past two weeks. Total scores range from 0 to 24. 0-4: No significant depressive symptoms/5-9: Mild symptoms/10-14: Moderate symptoms (a score of 10 or greater often indicates probable major depression)/15-19: Moderately severe symptoms/20-24: Severe symptoms
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.
Fatigue
Fatigue assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Scores are evaluated by calculating the total sum (9 to 63) or the average mean (1 to 7). A mean score of 4.0 or higher (or a total sum of 36 or more) indicates clinically significant fatigue
Time frame: At discharge from rehabilitation unit. Exact timing from enrolment varies depending on length of clinical stay in rehabilitation hospital. Typically 1-4 weeks from enrolment.

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Apr 2027, 5 months later.
Of 3,117 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,261 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.
