Filter by:The purpose of this study is to pilot a randomized clinical trial designed to improve the sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and the duration and quality of sleep of children and parents in low-income families. It is hypothesized that child and parent sleep (assessed through subjective reports of sleep, sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and objective sleep data via sleep actigraphy collected with Fitbit watches) in the intervention group will improve between Week 2 (intervention session) and Week 4 (post-intervention session) as compared to child and parent sleep in the waitlist-control group.
Sleep is not simply the absence of wakefulness. Sleep is an active procedure, normally happening every night, and is absolutely vital. Good sleep is essential for our well-being. Survival without food can be further than without sleep. Work time and commuting time seem to affect total sleep time and night bedtime. Social and work obligation can, therefore, suppress sleep time. Sleep deprived individuals may be facing anxiety and depression symptoms. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms among adults with the use of the smartphone application Onar. Onar app will be used to gather information from wearable devices of the users including total sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset time. An established questionnaire (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale/ HADS) will be used to quantify and detect the presence of anxiety and depression in the study population.
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain are the common symptoms experienced by children with cancer. These symptoms significantly devastate the children's quality of life. Hypnosis is found to be effective in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain in children with cancer. In addition, virtual reality is shown to promote the effectiveness of hypnosis in managing these symptoms. However, no study so far has examine it effectiveness in Hong Kong Chinese children with cancer. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness in the use a virtual reality device to improve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, sleep quality and pain among children with cancer in Hong Kong.
This will be a 12 week randomized control trial of sleep hygiene education vs. no education with a cross-over to the active intervention after 6 weeks. Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed before and after a 10-20 minute sleep hygiene video (intervention).
Patients undergoing treatment for heart disease through percutaneous interventions admitted to intensive care units often suffer from sleep deprivation, with multifactorial factors being the precursors of this problem. Sleep deprivation has a negative impact on rehabilitation, with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, implementing non-pharmacological measures for this population is essential for better quality care, as well as more satisfactory experiences. The Objectives are to evaluate whether the non-pharmacological intervention that includes the use of eye masks and hearing protectors has an influence on the quality of sleep of patients undergoing percutaneous interventions for the treatment of heart diseases admitted to the intensive care unit, to compare the quality of sleep between patients according to sociodemographic and clinical variables and to identify whether anxiety is a factor associated with sleep quality in patients undergoing percutaneous interventions for the treatment of heart disease in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Randomized clinical trial blinded to the steps of data collection and data analysis, with two groups of participants in which the intervention with eye masks and ear protectors will be evaluated. The inclusion criteria in the study will be patients undergoing percutaneous intervention treatment for heart disease over the age of 18, preserved communication skills and understanding. The study site will be a cardiac intensive care unit in a private hospital of high complexity in the city of São Paulo. The intervention will be carried out during the period of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, by nurses trained by the researcher from 9 pm until the patient awakens, and variables related to sleep quality, anxiety, pain, delirium and length of stay will be collected. in bed. The sample will consist of 80 patients divided into two groups (intervention and control) and the data will be analyzed with descriptive statistics, with Student t test and Mann Whitney test for comparison between groups and with Chi-square test and Spearman for analysis of categorical variables. . Relative risk, odds ratio will be calculated and the level of significance adopted will be 5%. It is intended to know if the non-pharmacological intervention brings benefits to reduce sleep deprivation and contributes to better clinical outcomes.
The term "sleep hygiene" refers to a series of healthy sleep habits that can improve the ability to fall asleep. These habits are the most effective long-term treatment for people with chronic insomnia. The "Sleep Hygiene Index" is a 13-item questionnaire that evaluates these habits. We are in the process of validation of this questionnaire in the arabic language. We will evaluate these habits in the Lebanese population during the COVID-19 confinement period.
