Abstract: (118 Views)
Objectives Older people face reduced sleep quality and subsequent mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, which have negative effects on their quality of life and well-being. One of the effective interventions for reducing these problems is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a CBT-based educational program on sleep quality and general health of older men living in nursing homes.
Methods In this randomized, controlled clinical trial, 68 older men living in a nursing home in Kermanshah, Iran, participated, who were randomly divided into two groups of 34 including intervention and control. The intervention group received the CBT-based educational program for 8 weeks at eight sessions of 45 minutes. During this period, the control group received no special treatment except for routine daily care and verbal communication. The participants were assessed before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Goldberg’s general health questionnaire (GHQ-28). Finally, the data were analyzed using descriptive (mean, frequency, percentage, and standard deviation) and inferential tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, paired t-test, independent t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA) in SPSS software, version 16.
Results The within-group comparison showed that the mean scores of PSQI and GHQ-28 immediately and one month after the intervention significantly decreased (improved) in the intervention group compared to the pretest phase (P<0.001), while no significant change was observed in the control group (P<0.05). Also, the between-group comparison showed a significant difference between the two groups in the PSQI and GHQ-28 scores, which were improved significantly in the intervention group after the intervention compared to the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion The CBT-based educational program can improve the sleep quality and general health of older men living in nursing homes.
