Critical evaluation of methodology in “Experiences of insomnia among older people living in nursing homes a qualitative study”
The reliance on a single coder and absence of triangulation may compromise the depth of thematic analysis. Recommendations include: (1) multi-researcher collaboration to enhance credibility; (2) inclusive sampling of residents with dementia; (3) mixed-methods designs integrating objective sleep measures; and (4) staff training in sleep hygiene to address institutional barriers. Strengthening methodological transparency and addressing contextual factors could improve future interventions for insomnia in nursing homes.
