About
The study is a single-blind study, parallel randomized controlled trial method. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the mobile version of Application based Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI-APP) and the interactive e-book version of BBTI in improving the severity of insomnia, sleep quality and mood among college students. Measurement outcomes are sleep parameters measured by the Chinese version of Insomnia Severity Index, Chinese version of The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items, and sleep diary. Questionnaires will be assessed in pretreatment, posttreatment, and one-month follow-up. We hypothesized that compared with the sleep hygiene group, both the BBTI-APP and the interactive e-book BBTI can significantly improve college students' insomnia symptoms, emotional distress, and quality of life.
Full description
Background： Insomnia is a common health problem faced by college students. It not only causes poor academic performance and reduces the quality of life, but also increases the risk of mood disorders and suicide. However, insomnia among college students has long been ignored by health care providers. Currently, insomnia drugs and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia are mostly used clinically to treat insomnia. However, there are no long-term use guidelines for insomnia drugs for teenagers. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a treatment that is expensive, time-consuming, and lacks accessibility.
Purpose： The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the mobile version of Application based Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI-APP) and the interactive e-book version of BBTI in improving the severity of insomnia, sleep quality and mood among college students. We hypothesized that compared with the sleep hygiene group, both the BBTI-APP and the interactive e-book BBTI can significantly improve college students' insomnia symptoms, emotional distress, and quality of life.
Method： The study is a single-blind study, parallel randomized controlled trial method. It is anticipate to include 30 college students, who will be randomly assigned to the BBTI-APP group (10 people) and the interactive e-book BBTI group (10 people) in a ratio of 1:1:1. and sleep hygiene team (10 people). If assigned to the BBTI-APP group, college students can use the mobile phone app to record sleep, watch BBTI treatment content and sleep hygiene, perform muscle relaxation and listen to relaxing music. The study intervention time is four weeks in total.
