Summary:[...]of the integrative literature review, it was found that non-pharmacological interventions improved sleep quantitatively and qualitatively and was also effective in physiological and psychological ways.First, it was confirmed that the quality and quality of sleep improved, and satisfaction with sleep increased. [...]a decrease in systolic blood pressure, changes in EEG and increase in B lymphocytes among the immune responses were confirmed as physiological effects. [...]in a meta-analysis that examined the relationship between sleep time and mortality, it was found that sleep time exceeding 10 hours increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality by 43%,while sleep time shorter than 7 hours was statistically significantly associated with all causes of increases in mortality rates(da SilvaA A et al., 2016). [...]studies are insufficient to grasp the effectiveness of intervention programs suitable for elderly subjects because no study was conducted through a comprehensive review of intervention studies.Given the negative effects of sleep disorders on the physical health, mental health, and daily life functions of the elderly along with the increase in the elderly population and the rapidly aging society(Li Jet al., 2013), the development of non-pharmacological interventions related to sleep disorders for the elderly is very urgent. [...]this study is intended to provide evidentiary materials to present a direction for future non-pharmacological intervention studies on the elderly with sleep disorders through a comprehensive review of the relevant literature in South Korea.
