EXPERIMENTAL: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for Firefighters (CBT-I-F) [Treatment Group]
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for Firefighters (CBT-I-F) is a 6-week training course that focuses on mitigating poor sleep quality and promoting the adoption of behaviors conducive to quality sleep.
This course includes modules on developing habits conducive to better sleep, adapting variable bedroom environments, and establishing techniques to reduce worry and frustration around falling asleep while recognizing and working through barriers unique to the career of firefighting.
|
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for Firefighters (CBT-I-F) 6-week training course has been derived from existing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) group therapy protocols.
Participants in this intervention will receive psychoeducation on sleep and practice skills standard of CBT-I including, stimulus control techniques, sleep restriction, counter-arousal skills, cognitive restructuring, sleep hygiene, goal setting, and relapse prevention skills.
Weekly sessions will include discussions regarding difficulties specific to occupational barriers and how to mitigate the impact of occupational requirements on sleep quality.
Other Names:
The Fitbit Inspire HR wrist worn device will be worn by eligible participants throughout the duration of the intervention and for two weeks following completion of the 6-week intervention to collect objective data on enduring sleep changes. This device is an FDA-registered medical device that is not the object of investigation and is being used "on label" only to gather data. 501(K) Number: K200948 Device Name: Fitbit ECG App Regulation Number: 870.2345 Classification Product Code: QDA Clinical Trials: NCT04176926 |
NO_INTERVENTION: No Intervention Control Group
Non-Intervention Control Group (NIC) will not receive training during the course of the study, but will be offered the opportunity to receive training after the study ends.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess sleep quality and sleep disfunction throughout the previous month.
Global scores range between 0-21 with higher scores indicating greater sleep dysfunction.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
Total Sleep Time Change as Measured by Actigraphy in the Fitbit Inspire HR
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention)
|
Fitbit Inspire HR wrist worn devices will be used to assess mean sleep patterns and sleep-related activity.
The Fitbit Inspire HR may be worn consistently for up to 5-days and records wrist movement and heart rate variability to estimate sleep onset, waking, and sleep stages without need for the wearer to actively manipulate the device.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention)
|
Feasibility as measured by attendance, attrition, and adherence to intervention components.
Time Frame: From intervention Week 1 to intervention Week 6
|
Feasibility will be measured via attendance, attrition rates, and completion of sleep diaries Participant weekly CBT-I attendance will be tracked and analyzed based upon average percentage of total number of sessions attended.
Adherence to intervention components will be tracked via compliance with recommendations for the previous week.
After each session, sleep diaries for that week will be examined by research assistants and recorded dichotomously as to whether "Yes, the participant was adherent" or "No, the participant was not adherent".
An adherence percentage will be calculated.
|
From intervention Week 1 to intervention Week 6
|
Acceptability as measured by mean acceptability ratings on four Likert-style questions.
Time Frame: 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention)
|
Acceptability will be assessed using four self-report questions derived from similar studies, and calculated via mean acceptability ratings on a scale of 0-6.
These items will include the degree to which the participant liked the program, whether they found the home practice/requirements reasonable, whether they would recommend the program, and whether they would take the program again in the future.
Each item is responded to on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability.
|
6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention)

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Depression, Anxiety, and Stress as Measured Through the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21).
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales 21-item measure (DASS-21) measures self-report ratings of depression, anxiety, stress symptoms.
Items are responded to on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (Did not apply to me at all) and 3 (Applied to me very much or most of the time).
Scores range between 0 and 120 for the DASS-21 total score.
Higher scores indicate a greater severity of depression, anxiety, and stress.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
PTSD as Measured Through the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5)
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) measures self-reported PTSD symptoms.
Items are responded to on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging between 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Extremely) with higher scores indicating greater severity of PTSD symptoms.
Items are summed to create a total score ranging between 0-80 and scores greater than 33 indicate probable PTSD.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
General Health as Measured Through the Medical Outcomes Study 12-item Short-Form Survey (SF12v2)
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The Medical Outcomes Study 12-item Short-Form Survey (SF12v2) measures self-reported general health.
The SF12v2 is a 12-item self-report that contains eight subscales: physical functioning, role-physical (i.e., role limitations related to physical health), bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional (i.e., emotional problems resulting in role limitations), and mental health.
Higher scores indicate more favorable states of health.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
Family Functioning as Measured Through the McMaster Family Assessment Device - General Functioning Scale (FAD-GFS)
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The McMaster Family Assessment Device - General Functioning Scale (FAD-GFS) measures self-reported family functioning.
The FAD-GFS is a 12-item self-report subscale of the larger 60-item FAD measure, that assesses overall health and pathology of the family.
Items on the FAD-GFS are responded to on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging between 1 (Strongly Agree) and 4 (Strongly Disagree).
Higher total scores indicate more problematic family functioning.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
Vigilant Attention as Measured Through the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT).
Time Frame: Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
The Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) is a continuous performance task commonly used to objectively assess sleep-related cognitive deficits in vigilant attention.
The PVT, administered remotely via Inquisit Web software (Millisecond Software LLC, US) will be used in this study.
Inter-stimulus intervals are set to vary randomly between 2-10 seconds and subjects are to respond as quickly as possibly by clicking the mouse to stimuli flashed on the screen.
Higher scores indicate slower response times and greater number of errors.
|
Baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention), 18 weeks (i.e., 3-month follow-up)
|
Fidelity of Intervention Protocol Across Sessions
Time Frame: 6 weeks (i.e., post-intervention)
|
Fidelity will be assessed to ensure therapist adherence to the intervention protocol in each session.
An adherence measure of covered session topics, covered activities, and global instructor skill in presenting material will be used to for each weekly session.
Sessions will be audio recorded and two research assistants will independently rate each item regarding covered session topics and covered activities on a 3-point Likert-style scale ranging from 0-2 (0 = not present, 1 = somewhat present, 2 = fully present), and global instructor skill in presenting the material will also be rated on a 3-point Likert-style scale ranging from 0-2 (0 = none, 1 = minimal, 2 = adequate).
Higher scores indicate better fidelity.
