Self-help Lifestyle Medicine for Insomnia

Effect of a Self-help Smartphone-based Lifestyle Intervention in Reducing Insomnia Symptoms: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will examine the effects of a self-help smartphone-based multi-component lifestyle medicine intervention (LM) for alleviating insomnia symptoms in a Chinese population.
Since a range of lifestyle factors are related to the pathogenesis and progression of insomnia, modifying different lifestyle factors simultaneously, such as diet, exercise, stress, and sleep which are empirically supported by previous reviews, may be effective to reduce insomnia symptoms (Reid et al., 2010; Vedaa et al., 2016).
Traditional Chinese nutritional values will be integrated into the smartphone application to increase the acceptability towards the intervention.
A prevalence study suggested that self-help interventions are preferred due to the potential stigmatization related to mental health interventions and the high cost of mental health services in Hong Kong (Lee, Tsang, & Kwok, 2007).
Nonetheless, to date, only limited self-help interventions that target lifestyle medicine for sleep-related problems are available.
Through this study, we aimed to promote evidence-based patient care and improve help-seeking behaviors and access to evidence-based lifestyle interventions for insomnia.
Descripción general del estudio
Descripción detallada
This study will be a randomized controlled trial on the effects of a self-help smartphone-based multi-component lifestyle medicine intervention for reducing insomnia symptoms in the Chinese population.
Prior to all study procedures, eligible participants will be required to complete an online informed consent (with telephone support).
Assuming an alpha error of 5%, a beta error rate of 20%, and a between-group effect size of 0.77 for the Insomnia Severity Scale (Ip et al., 2020), the final sample is 28 for both groups.
With an estimation of 20% withdrawal, 70 eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the smartphone-based multi-component lifestyle medicine intervention (LM group) or the waitlist control group (WL group) in a ratio of 1:1.

Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|

Change in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 1-month post-intervention
|
ISI is a 7-item scale designed to evaluate perceived insomnia severity.
Ratings on the 5-point Likert scale are obtained on the perceived severity of sleep-onset, sleep-maintenance, early morning awakening problems, satisfaction with current sleep pattern, interference with daily functioning, noticeably of impairment attributed to the sleep problem, and level of distress caused by the sleep problem.

Encuesta de desarrollo propio
Periodo de tiempo: Base
|
La encuesta autodesarrollada recopilará información que incluye datos demográficos (p. ej., edad, sexo, nivel de educación, sector laboral, estado civil y lugar de residencia), consumo de sustancias, índice de masa corporal (IMC), patrón de actividad y descanso y ritmos sociales, etc.

Periodo de tiempo: Baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 1-month post-intervention
|
The HADS, a self-reporting questionnaire used for assessing the level of depressive and anxiety symptoms over the past week on a 4-point scale.
The HADS consists of two parts: an anxiety subscale (HADS-A) and a depression subscale (HADS-D), both of which have seven items.

SF-6D is a preference-based single index measure of health.
A six-digit number represents each SF-6D health state, each digit denotes the level of one of six SF-6D dimensions: physical functioning, role limitation, social functioning, bodily pain, mental health, and vitality.

Participants' subjective sleep disturbance over the past month will be assessed using PSQI.
PSQI consists of 19 self-rating items that can be categorized into seven components, including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction.
Each component is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3).
The sum of the seven components results in a global score of 21.
A high score indicates worse sleep quality.
