2026年9月17日 更新者：Hoang T.X Huong、Phenikaa University
Self-acupressure to Improve Insomnia Among the Elderly With Hypertension: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the effect of self-acupressure on improving insomnia among the elderly with hypertension who reported insomnia (using the Insomnia Severity Index questionnaire)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is the proposed intervention feasible to deliver to the target population in terms of recruitment, retention, adherence, and completion of outcome assessments?
- Does self-acupressure improve insomnia among the elderly with hypertension? Researchers will compare participants in the self-acupressure group (practice acupressure at home for 28 days) and the enhanced standard care group to see the effectiveness of acupressure in improving insomnia for hypertensive elderly individuals.
Participants in the self-acupressure group will be instructed how to locate and perform acupressure, then they will be asked to practice acupressure at home for 28 days (once a day).
Participants in the enhanced standard care group will receive training on how to apply sleep hygiene rules and will be asked to follow sleep hygiene rules for 28 days.

実験的：Acupressure group
Participants will receive a self-acupressure training section and requested to practice acupressure at home once a day at night time (before going to bed) for four weeks. During that time, participants will receive a weekly phone call follow up from researchers. By the end of week fourth, participants will be requested to complete post-intervention assessment. A short-term follow up will be then carried out in 4 weeks. By the end of follow up time, participants will be asked to complete post follow up assessement and received 200.000 vnd (12 usd) as complimentary. The acupressure protocol of the intervention was developed and validated by 6 traditional and hypertensive experts. |

メジャーの説明 |
時間枠 |

Insomnia severity
時間枠：Insomnia severity will be measured at 3 time points: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8
|
The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is used to measure insomnia severity among participants.
This instrument had been validated translated into Vietnamese previously and was being used in the cross-sectional study with high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.92).

Feasibiliy outcomes
時間枠：The recruitment rate will be measured at baseline
|
- The recruitment rate will be calculated based on the number of screened patients, the number of eligible patients, the number of eligible patients who finally agree to participate in the study, the number of patients who sign the informed consent form, the reasons for ineligibility and refusal, and the time to recruit enough participants will be recorded.
|
The recruitment rate will be measured at baseline
|
|
Feasibility outcome
時間枠：The acceptability score of the intervention will be measured at week 4
|
- The acceptability score of the intervention will be measured by the Intervention Rating Profile (IRP-15), which consists of 15 Likert-type items; the sum of all 15 items ranges from 15 to 90.
Higher overall scores indicate greater acceptability.
A cutoff mean score (or average item score above 4.0) generally denotes that an intervention is perceived as acceptable and practical
|
The acceptability score of the intervention will be measured at week 4
|
|
Feasibility outcome
時間枠：Through study completion, an average of 1 year
|
The attrition rate will be calculated by the number of participants who decide to discontinue the study and the number of participants who are lost to follow-up during the study period.
The attrition rate ranges from 0% to 100%, the higher lower attrition rate indicate the better feasible study is.

Through study completion, an average of 1 year
