Interventions

  • Better Nights, Better Days for Youth — BEHAVIORAL
    BNBD-Youth is a web-based sleep program, available only for research, designed to introduce healthy sleep practices to adolescents and young adults with sleep disturbances, aiming to improve their sleep quality and duration. It is entirely self-guided and adolescent-based (i.e., does not involve the caregiver or healthcare professional) and accessed on the individual's personal device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer). This program comprises 31 short, interactive microlessons organized into 4 overarching sessions.

Study Details

Overall, our understanding of how pain and sleep are experienced and how they can be treated in teenagers with rheumatic diseases is limited. This two-phased study aims to deepen our understanding of pain and sleep in this population using 'Better Nights, Better Days for Youth' (BNBD-Youth). 'BNBD-Youth' is a self-guided web-based sleep program for teenagers with sleep problems that uses educational and behavioural strategies, such as understanding sleep processes and changing unhelpful thoughts about sleep, to help improve sleep experiences. In Phase One, participants will use daily diaries to record their sleep and pain, and then use 'BNBDYouth' for five weeks to test whether it improves these outcomes. Then, in Phase Two, these participants will take part in an interview to further describe their experiences using 'BNBD-Youth' and their pain and sleep.
