Objectives To assess the efficacy of non-drug interventions on improving sleep quality in ICU patients by network meta-analysis.Methods The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on non-drug interventions on improving sleep quality in ICU patients from inception to December, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, network meta-analysis was performed by using the Stata 13.0 software.Results A total of 12 RCTs, involving 1 223 patients and 9 non-pharmacological interventions (music therapy, comprehensive nursing intervention, TCM emotions, music therapy+TCM emotions, Chinese medicine pillow therapy, ear acupressure, eye mask+earplugs+music, eye mask+earplugs, regular care) were included. The results of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) showed that eye mask+earplugs, eye masks, and comprehensive nursing interventions were superior to conventional care in improving sleep quality in ICU patients, and the rankings were: eye mask+earplugs>eye mask>comprehensive nursing intervention, music therapy+TCM emotional>Chinese medicine emotional>music therapy>general care. The results of Richards-Campbell sleep scale (RCSQ) showed that eye mask+earplugs+music, Chinese medicine pillow therapy, and auricular pressure beans were superior to conventional care, and the rankings were: eye mask+earplugs+music>Chinese medicine pillow therapy>music therapy>ear acupressure beans>general care.Conclusions The evidence shows that in improving the sleep quality of ICU patients, eye mask + earplug, eye mask, comprehensive nursing intervention, music therapy + TCM emotional characteristics may all be effective intervention methods. It is suggested that more non-drug interventions should be carried out in the future for enhancing the sleep quality of ICU patients.
