简要总结
Introduction: Nowadays, the reduction of perceived stress and the improvement of sleep quality are considered fundamental aspects in the quality of life of both healthy subjects and patients with disease. Stress has become a pandemic in recent years due to the socio-labor demands faced by society. On the other hand, it has a direct relationship with the quality of sleep, its influence being bidirectional. In this regard, several tools have been reported for the management of these conditions. These include strategies such as yoga, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing (DR) or Pilates. On the other hand, other proposals such as global postural reeducation (GPR) lack evidence in the management of these conditions.
Objectives: Compare the effects of a diaphragmatic breathing self-management program with global postural reeducation on stress and sleep quality in university students.
Method: The study will be carried out with physiotherapy students of the University Francisco de Vitoria. The participants will be randomly divided into three groups: GPR group, DR group and control group. Perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale - PSS14) and reported sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI) will be measured three times throughout the study: pre-intervention, 3 weeks after the start of the intervention and post-intervention. The intervention will last 6 weeks, during which time all participants will be required to complete the 5 Grade Scale (5GS) each morning. The GPR group will perform; Frog to the ground posture, while the DR group will follow a set breathing protocol at a 4/6 rhythm. Both GPR and DR will be performed 10 minutes before going to sleep.
Ethical considerations:
The principles of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki will be followed. The proposed interventions are non-invasive, based on the combination of mild physical activity tools, body awareness and relaxation techniques.
The dependent variables to be measured are based on clinimetric aspects, without any harm to the participants.
Subjects will be asked to participate on a voluntary basis and may withdraw from the study at any time.
详细描述
MATERIAL AND METHODS Type of study This work will be an analytical, experimental, longitudinal and prospective study, unblinded. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, one of which was a control group.
This study will be conducted in accordance with the 1964 Helsinki declaration.
Sample The target population of the study will be university students who suffer from stress. The accessible population will be physiotherapy students of the Francisco de Vitoria University.
Method of selection and assignment of participants to each group Before selecting our sample, we will divide the future participants into different groups with simple randomization.
To obtain the sample we will go through the physiotherapy classes of the UFV, explaining our project and providing each person with a QR code.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
No treatment
Diaphragmatic Breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as deep breathing, is based on breathing slowly and widely, expanding the abdomen and then the ribs on inspiration and emptying as much air as possible on exhalation.
干预措施: Diaphragmatic Breathing (Other)
Global Postural Reeducation
Global Postural Re-education (GPR) is a technique described by Philippe Souchard that is based on the active and sustained stretching of muscle chains by performing specific postures. Breathing plays a fundamental role in the development of exercise, influencing the structures of the body and its functioning.
