• Conditions: Sleep
• Interventions: Behavioral: Control; Behavioral: Intervention

• Registration Number: NCT02551913
• Lead Sponsor: Qazvin University Of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

Sleep education has been used as a method of primary and secondary prevention of sleep problems in all age groups. An especially vulnerable age group are adolescents who frequently have poor sleep habits and suffer from sleep deprivation. In adolescents, insufficient sleep, inadequate sleep quality, and irregular sleep patterns are associated with daytime sleepiness, negative moods, increased likelihood of stimulant use, higher levels of risk-taking behavior, poor school performance, and increased risk of unintentional injuries. As an US study has shown, sleepiness was the major causal factor in many traffic accidents and more than 50% of sleep-related crashes involved drivers aged 25 or younger. The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-based sleep hygiene intervention in improving sleep quality in adolescents.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
control	Control	The adolescents will not receive any specific information
Intervention	Intervention	The adolescents will receive relevant information on the importance of adequate sleep, the consequences of sleep deprivation, Provide information about others' approval,Provide normative information about others' behaviour,Goal setting ,action planning, coping planning, Set graded tasks,Prompt self-monitoring of sleep behaviour

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in self-reported Sleep hygiene behavior	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up	Sleep behavior will be assessed through self-report employing 24-h recall of the previous night's sleep
Changes in Sleep duration	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up	Sleep duration will be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSIQ). The PSQI is a self-administered questionnaire to assess subjective sleep quality during the previous month (Buysse et al., 1989). The self-rated items of the PSQI generate seven component scores (range of subscale scores, 0-3): sleep quality; sleep latency; sleep duration; habitual sleep efficiency; sleep disturbance; use of sleeping medication; and daytime dysfunction.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in health-related quality of life	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up	health-related quality of life will be measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Short Form 15 Generic Core Scales.
Changes in psychological predictors of sleep hygiene behavior (attitude, subjective norms intention, perceived behavioral control , Self-monitoring, action planning and coping planning)	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up	psychological predictors of sleep hygiene behavior were assessed using a using a self-reported measure. All items are rated on a Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 to 5.
Sleep Disturbances Scale for Children	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up
Sleep knowledge questionnaire	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up
Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up
General Health Questionnaire	changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up	A self-administered questionnaire will be given to each participant, in which the PSQI-I, the Iranian version of the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ12-I)
