Interventions

  • Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia in chronic mental health — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention is a short-term group therapy based on Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI). Participants will undergo a 4-week program, consisting of one 60-minute group session held once a week. The core content of the sessions focuses on personalized behavioral prescriptions designed to rebuild sleep regularity, aiming to improve insomnia symptoms and regulate related physiological and psychological indicators in chronic psychiatric patients.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term, group-based Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (BBTI) intervention in chronic psychiatric patients at a hospital day ward.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the BBTI-based group intervention improve subjective sleep quality and reduce the severity of insomnia? 2. Does the intervention have a positive effect on psychological well-being and cardiometabolic/physical functions? Researchers will compare an experimental group to a waitlist control group to see if the intervention improves sleep quality, reduces insomnia-perpetuating behaviors, and enhances overall health status across various timeframes. Participants will: 1. Attend four sessions that cover sleep structure education, relaxation techniques (including acupressure), sleep-promoting diet principles, and the proper use of sedative-hypnotic medications. 2. Write a daily sleep diary. 3. Complete three times of structured self-report questionnaires. 4. Undergo physiological and physical function assessments.
