详细描述
A controlled, single-center, randomized parallel group clinical trial will be developed to evaluate the effectiveness of an online mindfulness-based meditation program (POMBM) on the quality of sleep of medical students. The trial expects to involve 136 participants who will be randomized 1:1 into the intervention group or a waiting group (which will be called the control group), with 68 expected participants each. All trial procedures will take place online via Google meet and will consist of an invitation and presentation of the study, followed by an initial screening visit for those interested, and an intervention period of 8 weeks. The POMBM will be administered weekly online during the intervention period, with each session lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The control group will not perform any activities during the intervention period. Participants in both groups will be evaluated at the initial visit (T0), in the fifth week (T1), immediately after the end of the intervention period (T2) and in a 2-month follow-up after the end of the program (T3) using the following instruments : PSQI (Pittsburgh Quality Sleep Index), ESE (Epworth Sleepiness Scale), MAAS (Mindful Attention Awareness Scale), DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), and CBI-S (Copenhagen Burnout Inventory Student Version)

时间窗: week 0, week 5, week 9 and week 17
\- PSQI (Pittsburgh Quality Sleep Index) - instrument consisting of 19 self-report questions categorized into seven components, graduated in scores from zero (no difficulty) to three (severe difficulty). The components of the PSQI are: C1 subjective sleep quality, C2 sleep latency, C3 sleep duration, C4 habitual sleep efficiency, C5 sleep changes, C6 use of sleeping medications C7 daytime sleep dysfunction. The sum of the values attributed to the seven components varies from zero to twenty-one in the total questionnaire score, indicating that the higher the number, the worse the sleep quality. A total score greater than five indicates that the individual is experiencing major dysfunction in at least two components, or moderate dysfunction in at least three components. ESE (Epworth Sleepiness Scale). This is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the probability of falling asleep in eight situations involving daily activities, some of which are known to be highly soporific. The
