Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The sleep quality in university students is diminished by numerous factors such as alterations in lifestyles, changes, the socio-emotional development or academic performance.The detriment in the quality of sleep can have a negative effects on the quality of life and mental health. It is even a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. This study is a pilot type clinical trial in which it is intended to implement an intervention to improve the quality of sleep of university nursing students. A randomization of 40 students will be carried out to two treatment groups (intervention n=20 and control n=20). The intervention group will receive two 90-minute sessions during a week where the anatomical structures involved in sleep will be analyzed, workshops will be held to improve the quality of sleep with individual indications after analyzing their rhythms and patterns. The control group will continue with their usual routine.A pre-post evaluation will be carried out on both groups using the Kronowise 3.0 individual wearable bracelet device that measures sleep quality based on general indicators, sleep, wakefulness, internal time, circadian rhythms, temperature, activity, position and light. In addition, information on perceived sleep quality will be collected with the Pittsburgh questionnaire. Sociodemographic data will be collected in the pre measurement for both groups and satisfaction with the program will be collected in the post measurement in the intervention group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The program consists of 2 sessions of 90 minutes during one week. In the first session, four activities will be carried out: 1) Explanation of the concepts of chronobiology, biological rhythms of the human being, internal clock and synchronizer, and the importance of anatomical structures; 2) Location of the structures mentioned in diagrams and anatomical models of the nervous system; 3) Approach to the concept of chronotype and the existence of three times that affect human circadian rhythms (biological, artificial and social), and how a poor coupling between them leads to a state called chronodisruption; 4) Completion of 2 self-knowledge questionnaires about the sleep pattern. The second session will also consist of four activities: 1) Recommendations on skills to have optimal sleep quality; 2) Carrying out a questionnaire on daytime sleepiness; 3) Applications of the recommendations to the nursing field (work shifts, clinical application in patients); Delivery of the reports to the participants, resolution of questions related to them, and group analysis of the reports of patients with certain circadian pathologies.

Sleep intervention program

The Sleep Intervention program Group will be subdivided into two groups of 10 participants to receive the sleep quality improvement program. The program consists of 2 sessions of 90 minutes during one week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sleep Intervention Group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention group will acquire skills to improve their quality of sleep such as:

* Acquisition of notions of chronobiology.
* Location of the nervous structures involved in biological rhythms.
* Awareness of the existence of three times that direct our biological rhythms, and of the need for them to be synchronized.
* Self-knowledge of the chronotype and the degree of adjustment of the three times.
* Knowledge of the variables that determine a good quality of sleep.
* Applications of chronobiology to the field of nursing. Recommendations for nurses and patients.
* Self-knowledge of the quality of sleep and the health status of the circadian system.

Control Group

The control group will continue with their usual routine.
