He elderly are vulnerable to physical, psychological, and social changes, including sleep pattern disturbances. Sleep disorders can reduce quality of life, interfere with daily activities, and increase health risks. Data from UPT PSTW Magetan in 2024 showed that 52 of 110 elderly residents experienced sleep problems. This study aimed to describe nursing care for elderly patients with activity and rest disturbances related to sleep pattern disorders. The research method used a case study with a nursing process approach, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The subject was an 83-year-old woman who complained of difficulty sleeping, frequent night awakenings, and only 3–4 hours of sleep duration. The results identified the main problem as sleep pattern disturbance (D.0055). Interventions were provided based on the Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI), including environmental modification, limiting daytime naps, education on healthy sleep habits, and relaxation techniques. After intervention, the patient reported reduced sleep difficulties and improved rest quality. In conclusion, comprehensive nursing care with non-pharmacological approaches is effective in improving sleep quality among the elderly. This study may serve as a reference for healthcare providers in managing sleep pattern disturbances in older adults.
