NCT03247062
Summary of the project : Lack or disturbances of sleep are major problems in patients staying in intensive care unit (ICU) due to the particular environment. The noises, lack of circadian rhythm of light lead to progressive deafferentation. The patients are then at risk of immune deficiencies, agitation and confusion states, cognitive troubles that may be associated to increased morbidity and mortality in the short and long term. Thus, improvement of the sleep of the ICU patients may impact non only during the ICU stay but also on their future quality of life. The sleep bundle project is a quality improvement project with a before-after design, consisting in the evaluation of a bundle of measures that may increase the quality and duration of sleep in ICU patients. The bundle consists in the proposition of eye-mask, ear-plugs, music and/or massage to the patients in parallele to structural and organizational modifications of the service such as the decrease of the alarms sounds, changing the luminosity between day and night, etc. The principal indicators followed will be: * The sleep quality of the patients * The continuous noise intensity in the rooms * The continuous light intensity in the rooms Baseline - before period: 8 weeks Implementation of the bundle with training of the team: 4 weeks After period: 8 weeks.

This research project has the overall objective to investigate the direction of the associations between illness perceptions, their influencing factors and health-related outcomes. Moreover, the investigators want to look at the direction of the associations between illness perceptions and health related outcomes such as psychological and physical functioning in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). The investigators want to know whether the outcome variables anxiety, depression, physical (dis) functioning are influenced by illness perceptions or vice versa. Not only the patients' illness perceptions but also the illness perceptions of the General Practitioners (GP) and rheumatologists will be investigated. The researchers want to know if the doctors' perceptions have an impact on the physical and psychological functioning of the patient or vice versa. Much research in the field of illness perceptions is cross-sectional in nature which means that the direction of the relationships between variables is not known.
