Abstract: Objective  To summarize relevant evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for sleep disorders in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and to provide practical guidance for improving their sleep quality.  Methods  A systematic search and evaluation were conducted on domestic and international databases and relevant guideline websites to identify evidence related to non-pharmacological interventions for sleep disorders in hemodialysis patients.  Results  A total of 17 articles were included, comprising 4 clinical decision-making papers, 2 guidelines, 10 systematic reviews, and one best evidence summary. From the two domains, screening and assessment of sleep disorders and non-pharmacological interventions in maintenance hemodialysis patients, 14 best evidence items were extracted. The evidence covers the use of sleep disorder screening and assessment tools, as well as the application details of various non-pharmaceutical therapies for sleep disorders.  Conclusion  This study systematically summarizes the best available evidence for the assessment and non-pharmacological intervention of sleep disorders in maintenance hemodialysis patients. It provides guidance for clinical healthcare professionals to implement evidence-based management of sleep disorders in this population.
