About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Theory-based Sleep Hygiene Intervention in Improving Sleep Quality in Adolescents: a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Sleep education has been used as a method of primary and secondary prevention of sleep problems in all age groups. An especially vulnerable age group are adolescents who frequently have poor sleep habits and suffer from sleep deprivation. In adolescents, insufficient sleep, inadequate sleep quality, and irregular sleep patterns are associated with daytime sleepiness, negative moods, increased likelihood of stimulant use, higher levels of risk-taking behavior, poor school performance, and increased risk of unintentional injuries. As an US study has shown, sleepiness was the major causal factor in many traffic accidents and more than 50% of sleep-related crashes involved drivers aged 25 or younger. The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-based sleep hygiene intervention in improving sleep quality in adolescents.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in self-reported Sleep hygiene behavior

    Sleep behavior will be assessed through self-report employing 24-h recall of the previous night's sleep

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  2. Changes in Sleep duration

    Sleep duration will be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSIQ). The PSQI is a self-administered questionnaire to assess subjective sleep quality during the previous month (Buysse et al., 1989). The self-rated items of the PSQI generate seven component scores (range of subscale scores, 0-3): sleep quality; sleep latency; sleep duration; habitual sleep efficiency; sleep disturbance; use of sleeping medication; and daytime dysfunction.

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in psychological predictors of sleep hygiene behavior (attitude, subjective norms intention, perceived behavioral control , Self-monitoring, action planning and coping planning)

    psychological predictors of sleep hygiene behavior were assessed using a using a self-reported measure. All items are rated on a Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 to 5.

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  2. Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  3. General Health Questionnaire

    A self-administered questionnaire will be given to each participant, in which the PSQI-I, the Iranian version of the General Health Questionnaire 12 (GHQ12-I)

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  4. Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  5. Sleep Disturbances Scale for Children

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  6. Changes in health-related quality of life

    health-related quality of life will be measured using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Short Form 15 Generic Core Scales.

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up

  7. Sleep knowledge questionnaire

    Measured: changes from baseline , 1 month and 6 Months follow-up
