Nurse-led BBTI for Improving Insomnia Severity
Effects of Nurse-led Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Background: Insomnia, defined as difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep such that it interferes with daytime function, is a common complaint among the general population, which in turn undermine their mood, cognitive functions, and quality of life. Brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) is a new treatment direction for primary and comorbid insomnia; however, its treatment model has not been established in Taiwan.
Purposes: To establish the BBTi treatment model among insomniacs in Taiwan and to examine the immediate effects of nurse-led BBTI in adults with insomnia complaints. We hypothesize that adults with insomnia complaints undergoing nurse-led BBTI will experience greater alleviations in sleep in comparison with participants in the sleep hygiene control group.
Methods: This assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial will employ a two-arm parallel-group design. A total of 42 adults with insomnia complaints will be randomly allocated to the nurse-led BBTI, or sleep hygiene control group in a 1:1 ratio. For the nurse-led BBTI group, all participants will experience 4-week nurse-led BBTi via 2 in person and 2 telephone sessions. The contents include sleep hygiene, stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation. For the sleep hygiene control group, they will receive usual care, sleep hygiene education, and weekly LINE contacts. Measurement outcomes are sleep parameters measured by the Chinese version of Insomnia Severity Index, Chinese version of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and sleep diary. Questionnaires will be assessed in pretreatment, posttreatment, and one-month follow-up. A generalized estimating equation will be used to test research hypotheses.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Nurse-guided BBTi intervention group
Participants will experience 4-week treatment period (2 in person and 2 via telephone).
|
On the arrival for the baseline appointment, participants will receive workbooks which include an outline and content of BBTi, sleep diaries, and adherence record.
In the end of weeks 1 and 3, nurse interventionist will meet participants to review their sleep diary data and negotiate their bedtime and wake-time schedule.
During the weeks 2 and 4, participants will receive planned follow-up phone calls to assess their adherence and review progress and challenges.
|
No Intervention: Control group
Participants will received sleep hygiene at the enrollment of the study and be required to maintain their usual lifestyle and medical treatment for 4 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in Sleep parameters from sleep logs: sleep onset latency(SOL)
Time Frame: At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Sleep onset latency(SOL) is the time of duration from lying on bed to fall asleep.
SOL shorter than 30 minutes is one of criteria of good sleep condition.
|
At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Changes in Sleep parameters from sleep logs: after sleep onset(WASO)
Time Frame: At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Wake after sleep onset(WASO) is the total time of wakefulness after sleep onset.
WASO less than 30 minutes is one of criteria of good sleep condition.
|
At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Changes in Sleep parameters from sleep logs: total sleep time(TST)
Time Frame: At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Total sleep time(TST) is the total time of falling asleep.
TST will be used to calculate sleep efficiency(SE).
|
At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Changes in Sleep parameters from sleep logs: sleep efficiency(SE)
Time Frame: At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Sleep efficiency(SE) is the percentage of total sleep time to time in bed.
A good sleep condition should meet the criteria of SE greater than 85%.
|
At baseline, week 1 to 3 (during the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Changes in Insomnia Severity
Time Frame: At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Insomnia Severity will be measured by Chinese version Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
ISI has 7 questions to evaluate sleep difficulty.
The total score range from 0-28, if score>7 is associated with insomnia.
The higher score means more severe insomnia.
|
At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Changes in Sleep quality
Time Frame: At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Sleep quality will be measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
PSQI has 18 questions to evaluate sleep condition.
The total score range from 0-21, if score>5 is associated with poor sleep.
The higher score means poorer sleep quality.
|
At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in Quality of life
Time Frame: At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
|
Quality of life will be measured by RAND-36 Health Status Inventory.
It has 36 questions to assess eight health concepts including physical functioning, role limitations caused by physical health problems, role limitations caused by emotional problems, social functioning, emotional well-being, energy/fatigue, pain, and general health perceptions.
|
At baseline, week 5 (after the intervention), and one month (follow-up)
