Impacts of sleep changes on occupational performance: perceptions of older people
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Sleep changes in the older population can cause physical, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral problems with possible impacts on occupational performance. Objective To understand the perception of older people living in a community regarding sleep changes and their impact on occupational performance. Method This is a qualitative, exploratory, and cross-sectional study, carried out with older people living in the Residential Village of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. To collect data, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used, in addition to interviews to characterize the sociodemographic and health profile, lifestyle habits and understanding the impact of sleep on daily life. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results Six people participated, aged between 65 and 78 years old, mainly single, with a self-perceived good quality of life and regular health, in addition to an abnormal pattern of sleep efficiency in the last month. Nocturnal diuresis and chronic pain were found to affect rest and sleep, along with habits and environmental factors such as screen use and medication. Sleep changes interfere with mental functions that worsen participation in occupations, especially leisure, basic and instrumental activities of daily living, education and social participation. Conclusion Sleep is influenced by physiological, psychological, social and contextual aspects and influences performance in occupations. It is essential to consider this topic in occupational therapeutic assessment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
