Filter by:The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether the application of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is effective in reducing sleep problems among university students. Additionally, the study aims to gather information on the safety of EFT application. The primary questions it seeks to answer are: Does EFT application reduce sleep problems among university students? Is EFT application feasible for addressing sleep problems in university students? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of EFT to traditional sleep education on non-pharmacological interventions for preventing sleep problems among university students. Participants: Pre-EFT application survey scale questions will be asked to university students. EFT will be applied once by the researcher to university students. EFT will be applied a second time by the researcher to university students 15 days after the initial application. For control, the same survey scale questions will be asked to the same students one day after the EFT application for post-test purposes. The same procedures will be applied in the same manner to the control group that will receive education.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of aromatherapy on sleep quality and anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.
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 study was to evaluate effect of music on sleep quality in patients with Behçet's disease. The population of the study consists of behçet patients who applied to the Rheumatology outpatient clinic of Medical Faculty Hospital, who met the research criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The study will conduct in a randomized controlled experimental design with two groups. The sample of the study will be 50 behçet patients the music practice group (25) and the control group (25). The research will be carried out between December 2022 and December 2023. In this study, data will with collect Descriptive Information Form, Behçet's Syndrome Activity Scale (BSAS) and Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale (RCUI).
The research was designed as a randomized controlled trial model to examine the effects of affirmation and infant massage taught to the parents of 0-6 month-old infants registered in a Family Health Center and a Private Medical Center in Istanbul, on the sleep quality of their infants and mother-father-infant attachment. The research will be carried out between August and October 2022 by including the parents of the babies in the scope of the study.

In this study, the effect of laughter yoga on sleep quality and happiness level in individuals with sleep problems will be investigated. Yoga exercises will be done for about 30 minutes with a laughter yoga instructor 3 days a week for a month.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the impact of mindfulness-based stress reduction programs on sleep quality, stress level and heart rate variability of university students Design: The study was planned as an experimental study with a randomized control group, using pre-test, post-test and follow-up test. Hypotheses: H1: The sleep quality level scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to the students in the control group. H2: Students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will decrease their stress level level scores compared to the students in the control group. H3: The heart rate variability of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will be higher than the students in the control group. H4: The sleep quality level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase compared to their pretest scores. H5: The stress level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores. H6: The heart rate variability level posttest and follow-up scores of the students in the intervention group participating in the mindfulness-based stress reduction initiative will increase according to their pretest scores.
Sleep disturbances are prevalent in older patients with osteoarthrosis or fracture scheduled for knee or hip replacement surgery. The occurrence of sleep disturbances is associated with worse outcomes including increased risk of delirium and cardiac events, and worsened functional recovery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. It exerts sedative effects via activating the endogenous sleep pathways and produces a state like non-rapid eye movement sleep, which is different from opioid- and benzodiazepine-induced sedation. Night-time infusion of low-dose dexmedetomidine may improve sleep quality. However, evidence in this aspect is limited.
This research aims to determine if melatonin supplementation, through improvements in sleep quality, increases the ability to repair oxidative DNA damage and reduce lipid peroxidation levels among nightshift workers.
