Filter by:Background: Parents of healthy neonates commonly face sleep disruptions and disturbances after delivery. Notably, increasing challenges are evident among parents of ill infants who required clinical care after birth . These challenges can adversely affect psychological adaptation and parental efficacy which consequently impacting the infant's development. It is crucial to develop an effective parent-child sleep intervention for improving parent-infant sleep and mental well-being and uneventful family health outcomes. Aim: To develop and evaluate the effects of parent-child sleep intervention on improving sleep quality, psychological health, and infant health in parents of infants at intermediate care nursery. Methods: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the intermediate care nursery of a level III medical center at Taipei city. A total of 102 pairs of parents and infants will be recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The intervention program consists of (1) parent-child sleep education, (2) heart rate variability biofeedback training, and (3) counseling and support. Data collection will be multiple time points, including baseline, 1 month postpartum, 3 months postpartum, and 6 months postpartum. Anticipated results: Developing and evaluating a parent-child sleep intervention for postpartum parents and their infants. The findings will be an empirical evidence for pediatric care and family health promotion.
The aim of this randomized, controlled experimental study is to investigate the effectiveness of Kegel exercises and abdominal exercises on urinary incontinence severity, quality of life, and sleep quality in menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. Research Hypothesis are: H1: Combining Kegel exercises and abdominal exercises affects urinary incontinence severity in menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. H2: Combining kegel exercises and abdominal exercises affects quality of life in menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. H3: Combining kegel exercises and abdominal exercises affects sleep quality in menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence. Researchers will compare two groups: Kegel and abdominal exercise training is applied to the experimental group. Only kegel exercise training is applied to the control group. The study will be conducted in a prospective, randomized, parallel group controlled design. Hypotheses will be evaluated by applying pre-test and post-tests to the groups of exercises applied for three months during the research process.
Local intervention trial for the evaluation of improvements in patient-reported Quality of Life and treatment satisfaction, in breast cancer patients (BCP), as a result of flexible treatment planning supported by REBECCA-collected real-world data, in comparison with standard care
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of postoperative eye mask usage on sleep quality in patients who have undergone gynecological surgery.
Background: Older people in long-term care institutions often have poor sleep quality and depression, which may negatively affect their health and welfare. Binaural beat music (BBM) has been proposed as a possible intervention. However, its effects on older people with poor sleep quality in long-term care institutions is still unclear. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of binaural beat music on sleep quality, heart rate variability, and depression in older people with poor sleep quality in a long-term care institution Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial design was employed and 64 older participants with poor sleep quality were recruited from a long-term care institution in Taiwan. Participants were randomized into the BBM group or control (sham) group (32 per group) and received 14 days of intervention. During the intervention period, participants in the experimental group listened to 20 minutes of Taiwanese Hokkien oldies embedded with BBM once in the morning and afternoon thrice a week. Participants in the control group only listened to Taiwanese Hokkien oldies. Questionnaires and heart rate variability analysis were used to assess participants' sleep quality, heart rate variability, and depressive symptoms.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled and experimental study to evaluate the effect of eye masks and earplugs on sleep quality and vital signs in intensive care patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the ability of non-invasive brain stimulation during sleep to enhance people's deep sleep and its potential benefit on memory in healthy adults via home use sleep therapy device (SleepWISP). Participants will be asked to wear non-invasive and painless devices that record their brain activity during sleep. The clinical trial aims to answer the following main questions: 1. Whether the non-invasive transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) delivered by SleepWISP could provide short-term enhancement of deep sleep in a single night in the target population. 2. Whether TES delivered by SleepWISP could improve sleep quality.
Sleep of critically ill patients is highly disturbed with a high sleep fragmentation; patients spend most of their sleep in very short sleep episodes, lasting less than 10 minutes. Causes of theses sleep alterations are complex including environmental noise (alarms, beepers, conversations…), continuous light, nurse care and repetitive measures of vital parameters. Numerous studies have reported a relationship between severe sleep alterations and a prolonged weaning period and mortality. Improving sleep quality in critically ill patients is a major challenge to promote ICU patient's recovery. A very promising treatment is the application of a nocturnal " quiet-time " during which non urgent care, comfort care, systematic measures of vital parameters are delayed and clustered in order to limit room entries. However, " quiet time " procedures have failed to improve sleep quality to date. A miniaturized medical device recording one EEG channel and embedding an automated sleep scoring algorithm running in real-time was devised. This device (positioned on forehead, and continuously recording noise and light levels) indicates if the patient is awake or asleep using a tablet positioned at doorstep of the room, so that nurses know if patient is sleeping, without entering the room. Hypothesis proposes that applying sleep protection procedures (clustering cares, limiting room entries, reducing lights and noise, delaying non urgent care…) when patients are sleeping (= EEG-guided strategies) will increase patients sleep quality. This study will assess the effect of such device on sleep quality in ICU patients. This is a "before / after" design. The first group ("control group"), will be recorded but the sleep scoring will not be displayed by the tablet and patient will be expose to standard care. Then, procedure will be established collegially with nurses, nurses assistants and doctors. Then, the second group ("treated group") will be recorded with the device displaying the status of the patient (asleep/awake) and all caregivers will be asked to follow the established rules ("EEG-guided sleep protection rules")
The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of implementing photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, either localized or whole body, or dry float on sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. As a secondary objective we will analyze the effect of the treatments on other indices of recovery (subjective and objective) via physiological monitoring in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. The study will have 2 phases: Phase 1 will last 5 weeks and will serve as baseline data collection of sleep quality. Phase 2 contains the experimental conditions and will last 13 weeks. Cognitive, behavioral, and physiological tests will be done at baseline (week 1) and at the end of experimental period (week 18). Sleep tracking data will be collected daily.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic represented a global public health problem that brought considerable consequences to the physical and mental health of the entire population. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of the brief behavioral intervention for insomnia by teleconsultation (BBII-TC) with the brief behavioral intervention for face-to-face insomnia (BBII) on symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, quality of sleep and life in a sample. of patients with long COVID. Methodology: Randomized controlled trial of equivalence with two groups in parallel (1:1) with repeated measures in pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up at 3 months. The sample will be composed of male or female participants, in an age range of 18 to 40 years. The sample size was calculated, obtaining a total of 52 participants, the expected effect size is .40, with a significance of 0.05 and a probability error of 80%. Participants in the two groups will be assessed with the following instruments: Sleep Diary, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Insomnia Severity Index, SF-36 Health Survey and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7; at the beginning and end of treatment; and in a follow-up at 3 months. TData analysis: The Kolmogrov-Smirnov test will be carried out to determine the normality of the data, in case the distribution is parametric, an ANOVA of repeated measures will be carried out for the comparison of data between the pre, post and monitoring for each of the groups; in the event that the data does not have a normal distribution, the Friedman test will be performed for the comparison of repeated measures. Finally, to avoid bias in the data analysis, an external investigator will be asked to perform the randomization and data processing.
