A Quasi-experimental Study Design of Evaluation the Effects of Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia on Regulating Stress and Sleep Quality in Middle-aged and Older Adults With Chronic Insomnia

Sleep health (T1)

时间窗: the first week

The researchers collected data using the Regulatory Satisfaction Alertness Timing Efficiency Duration (RU-SATED) questionnaire from the participants. The RU-SATED questionnaire consists of six questions, each evaluating distinct facets of sleep health. These questions encompass aspects such as sleep regularity, sleep satisfaction, daytime alertness, sleep timing, sleep efficiency, and sleep duration. Each question is rated on a scale of 0 to 2 points, resulting in a total score that ranges from 0 to 12 points. A higher total score across these six questions indicates a greater level of sleep health.

Sleep health (T3)

The RU-SATED questionnaire consists of six questions, each evaluating distinct facets of sleep health.

Each question is rated on a scale of 0 to 2 points, resulting in a total score that ranges from 0 to 12 points. A higher total score across these six questions indicates a greater level of sleep health.

Sleep Diary_Sleep efficacy (%) (T1)

时间窗: the first week

The researchers obtained sleep diaries from the participants. The sleep diary is a subjective record in which subjects document their sleep patterns. The following aspects can be assessed through the sleep diary: Total Sleep Time (TST):Calculated as the time elapsed from the moment of waking to the time of falling asleep. Sleep Efficiency: The ratio of total sleep time (TST) to time in bed (TIB) (multiplied by 100 to yield a percentage)

Insomnia severity (T1)

时间窗: the first week

The investigators collected the insomnia severity from participants: The Insomnia Severity Scale (ISI) comprises seven items. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 4 points, and total scores are ranged 0-28 points. A higher total score indicates a higher severity of insomnia. Specifically, a score ranging from 0 to 7 indicates no significant insomnia issues, while a score of 8 to 14 signifies mild sleep difficulties. An ISI score falling within the range of 15 to 21 reflects moderate insomnia, and a score of 22 to 28 indicates severe insomnia.

Depression (T1)

时间窗: the first week

The researchers collected data using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) from the participants. This scale, originally developed by Zigmond and Snaith in 1983, was designed for individuals with physical illnesses. It consists of a total of 14 items, each scored on a four-point scale (ranging from 0 to 3 points). The scale comprises 7 items related to anxiety and 7 items related to depression. Interpretation of the scores is as follows: A total score of less than 8 indicates the absence of depression. A score falling between 8 and 10 suggests possible depression. A score exceeding 11 indicates the presence of depression in the patient.
